Welcome to [GCG] Line Battle Event Page
The line battles/Sieges will take place every sunday evening at 8 pm EST. ( starting 02/15/2015 possibly) This battle will consist of 3 rounds maximum. The winner of 2 of those rounds will be the winner of the map. Every other sunday will be a siege for NW and will be hosted with the below rules. Please make sure you are in the GCG teamspeak (GCG.tsdns.link) 30 minutes before the event begins. we may end up doing more sieges than line battles but we will see how people feel. Please wait for a GCG admin to come fetch you in the waiting lobby when you arrive. and have your regiment name as part of your teamspeak name. We will attempt to balance the sides to make things as fun and as fair as possible! There is a chance that your regiment will be asked to move to the other team in the middle of the Line-Battle to balance things. We are sorry if this inconveniences you, but it is necessary.
You are required to register to the GCG Line Battle only once, using this form:"Copy" this and then "Paste" into a new post.
