This 18th of June will mark the bicentennial of the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by combined coalition forces under the command of Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, and Gebhard von Blucher. During this battle, the farmhouse of Hougoumont anchored Wellington's right flank, while La Haye Sainte dominated the road to Brussels in Wellington's center. These two locations saw some of the deadliest and most desperate fighting of the day. To mark the 200th anniversary of one of the most pivotal and dramatic battles in history, the 3eVolt will be hosting a Waterloo themed siege event on Thursday, June 18th.
How Will This Work?
We will be playing four rounds on two maps, for a total of 8 rounds. These rounds will be played on the siege game mode using the maps "La Haye Sainte (Day)" and "Hougoumont (Day)". The UK faction will be defending against the French faction. Each after two rounds, the teams will be swapped, and those previously playing on the UK team will play on France, and vice versa. As these maps are small, these rounds will generally take much shorter than usual siege rounds. Each regiment on the defending team will be allowed one sapper, and special classes can be applied for.
When?
Thursday, June 18th 8:00 PM EST
Rules
- Each team will have one unit of skirmishers, numbering no more than 10 players.
- Each regiment on the DEFENDING team will be allowed one sapper.
- Sappers may not plank spam, build sky towers, or put earth mounds in doorways.
- At the beginning of each round, the defenders will be given 3 minutes to ready defenses, during which time the attackers may only shoot from spawn.
- FoL and FoC is allowed once in the buildings, but unit cohesion must be maintained prior to breaching.
