About us
The Druzhina Regiment of Foot is a chill, small regiment, that let's you banter around with great people and have fun. That doesn't mean that there is no discipline though. If an officer orders a rank below him to do something, they must do it. Since the regiment consists mostly of players from NA, all of the events that we attend are NA. Unlike some other regiment though, we do not communicate via TS3, rather we do it via Discord; so keep that in mind.
History
The regiment is based on the army of Alexander Nevsky (1221-1263), which was called "Nevsky's Druzhina". The term "Druzhina" is an old Russian word for the army of the prince of the Kievan-Rus or Novgorod Republic. Alexander himself was the crown prince of the Novgorod Republic. The most notable battle his Druzhina fought was "The Battle of the Ice" (Apr.5th 1242), where they defeated an army of Heavily Armored Crusaders that were pursuing them. The did it by luring the over confident Crusaders onto Lake Peipus, that happened to still be frozen. When the Crusaders charged across the lake, the were held up by the militia, which blunted their charge. After a long period of fighting, the Teutonic Knights and Crusaders began to become extremely exhausted because of the constant fighting, heavy armor, and most importantly, constantly slipping on the ice. When Nevsky's Cavalry charged the crusaders, they started to flee in disarray. But, because of the weight of their armor, the ice started to crack beneath their feet, and countless Crusaders and Teutonic Knights died on the retreat.
