About us
The 84th Royal Highland Emigrants is a regiment in Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars. Originally founded by
TheJollyCanadian and Glenn on 6/06/20. Although the 84th is a primarily North American based regiment,
we also are happy to have players from around the globe. If you are interested in joining, read on!
The 84th will attend a handfull of linebattles a week, These events include artillery, cavalry, and line to
conduct large scale battles. This is a fantastic way to get more from this game, and also be part
of a fun and friendly gaming community. If you're interested in joining the 84th contact
an officer on steam for more information!
History of the Regiment
and Atlantic Canada from the constant land and sea attacks by American Revolutionaries. The 84th Regiment was also involved in offensive action in the Thirteen Colonies;
including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and what is now Maine, as well as raids upon Lake Champlain and the Mohawk Valley. The regiment consisted of
2,000 men in twenty companies. The 84th Regiment was raised from Scottish soldiers who had served in the Seven Years' War and stayed in North America. As a result, the
84th Regiment had one of the oldest and most experienced officer corps of any regiment in North America. The Scottish Highland regiments were a key element of the British
Army in the American Revolution. The 84th Regiment was clothed, armed and accoutred the same as the Black Watch, with Lieutenant Colonel Allan Maclean commanding the
first battalion and Major General John Small of Strathardle commanding the second. The two Battalions operated independently of each other and saw little action together.
Members of the 84th Highland Regiment were in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge,
North Carolina, in early 1776. On 27 February 1776, the 84th Regiment, with a number
of new recruits, was marching to the port of Wilmington, North Carolina. There they
were to join with a force arriving from Europe and participate in operations in the
southern colonies. The recruited force, at first numbering 1,600 American Loyalists but
reduced during the march by desertions to fewer than 800, faced off against 1,000
American Patriots. The American Loyalists' movement was blocked by Patriot forces on
two occasions, but the Loyalists managed to bypass them to reach the bridge over
Widow Moore's Creek. Captain McLeod, who had survived the Battle of Bunker Hill,
was killed leading the charge at Moore's Creek Bridge. Half of the regiment was
captured and thirty were killed; with ninety six officers and men taken prisoner. The
majority of the Carolina recruits were never able to join the regiment since the Loyalist
forces were scattered after the battle.Military operations – Quebec
Under McLean's command, the First Battalion acted primarily to defend Quebec from
American Patriot forces. It marched from Quebec in an attempt to repel Brigadier General
Richard Montgomery's invasion in the Siege of Fort St. Jean, Quebec. The regiment made
two attempts to relieve the fort, but eventually returned to Quebec, where it helped to
stiffen the resolve of the civil population until Carleton's return from Montreal.
The regiment was also involved in the Battle of Quebec. Montgomery and Benedict Arnold,
who led an expedition through the wilderness of what is now Maine, combined forces and
mounted attack on Quebec City. At a crucial moment in the battle, Captain McDougal led
120 of the 84th and 60 Royal Navy sailors against a force of New Hampshire troops
commanded by Henry Dearborn. They overwhelmed Dearborn's men, forcing the
survivors to surrender.Battle of the Newcastle Jane, Newfoundland
On October 23, 1776, under Captain Murdock MacLaine, the 84th Regiment was in
the Battle of the Newcastle Jane. This battle was the first in which a merchant British
vessel defeated an American Privateer vessel. The 84th Regiment was on the transport
ship Newcastle Jane off the coast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Onboard the ship was
20,000 pounds sterling and 3,000 sets of uniforms, much of which was for the 84th
Regiment. On October 23 at 4:00 am American privateer came within 30 yards of the
Newcastle Jane. The American had ten carriage guns and twelve swivel guns and the
Jane had only 6 three-pound carriage guns and a few swivels. The ships opened fire on
each other. After a 24-hour standoff, the 84th Regiment had outmaneuvered the
Americans, leaving them with many wounded and a damaged vessel. By the time the
battle was over, the Newcastle Jane only had two rounds of shot left.Lachlan Macquarie
One of the crew in the Battle of the Newcastle Jane was a young recruit Lachlan
Macquarie, who eventually became known as "the Father of Australia." Macquarie
began his military career in 1776 at the age of fourteen when he sailed from Scotland
to the New World. The attackers were repulsed and, six months later, on 9 April 1777,
he obtained an ensigncy in the 84th Regiment. He did garrison duty, first in Nova Scotia,
and then in New York and Charleston.
He was commissioned a lieutenant in the 71st Regiment in January 1781. In 1784 he
returned to Scotland from his posting in Jamaica, and was reduced to half-pay.
Machias, Maine was used as a base for privateering against Nova Scotia and as a
staging and supply point for American Patriot attacks on Fort Frederick, Saint John and
Fort Cumberland. In 1776, privateers from Machias had burned Fort Frederick at Saint
John to the ground. In 1777, American forces briefly controlled Saint John. In response,
Major John Small personally led a force to drive out the Americans. When the 84th
Regiment landed at Saint John on June 30, 1777, the Americans retreated to the woods.
The 84th marched through the woods and were ambushed by the American. Twelve
Americans and one member of the regiment were killed. Weeks later, on July 13, 1777,
American privateers again attacked Saint John and were repulsed by the 84th. In August
1777, the Americans attacked yet again and were successful, carrying off 21 boatloads
of plunder. The 84th immediately began to replace the low-lying Fort Frederick with Fort
Howe, which overlooked the settlement. Fort Howe became instrumental in curtailing
privateer action and was used as an assembly point for attacks on the 13 Colonies.Raid on Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia
On September 4, 1778, the 84th Regiment, under the command of Ranald
MacKinnon, was in the Raid of Cape Sable Island. Privateers were threatening Cape
Sable Island when the 84th arrived; they surprised the ship in the night and
destroyed it. For his aggressive action, MacKinnon was praised highly by Brigadier
General Eyre Massey. In response, one of his friends, Captain MacDonald, wrote to
Major John Small, "McKinnon was embarrassed by the praise of the General and
requested it not be inserted in the record since he only did his duty."Southern theatre
Upon leaving New York, the Second Battalion, 84th Regiment was engaged
in the Southern theatre of the American Revolutionary War. The Southern theater
was the central area of operations in the second half of the American Revolutionary
War. During the first three years of the conflict, the primary military encounters
had been in the north, focused on campaigns around the cities of Boston, New York,
and Philadelphia. Earlier in the war, the 2/84th Regiment was involved in trying to
take Charleston, South Carolina, in the Battle of Sullivan's Island.
On June 24, companies of the 2/84th Regiment from Boston and New York left their
ports to descend upon Fort Sullivan (later renamed Fort Moultrie), South Carolina.
Four days later the 84th Regiment from New York, on June 28, 1776, engaged in the
Battle of Fort Sullivan (see Fort Moultrie National Monument). The fleet bombarded
the fort and suffered excessive damage by return fire. The attack was a failure; 38
of the regiment died.
The 2/84th Regiment was involved in a skirmish at Wiboo Swamp, Savannah River,
Clarendon County, South Carolina (1781). 3 of the 84th Regiment were killed as
were about 18 American Patriots.
The 2/84th Regiment was then involved in protecting the Loyalist stronghold of
Augusta, Georgia. The first skirmish was at Wiggin's Hill, Savannah River, Georgia,
in April 1781. The Patriots surprised the regiment at Wiggin's Hill, but were twice
repulsed. The 84th then took prisoners, killed many of them and burned their homes.
Captain McKinnon tried to stop what he considered his own regiments "barbarity".
The 84th was also involved with trying to protect Fort Motte in the Siege of Fort Motte,
Georgia (1781). The 2/84th Regiment was forced to surrender on May 12 and were
taken prisoner.

Which b0z0 is in charge of updating the league 2 stats?if you guys were to stop changing your names every match and use the ones that you actually signed up with it would probably be a little faster
also hireaper is a fucking problem on eu and na that guy top of the classthat’s what I’ve been saying
this says Saturday. He even was kind enough to bold it for us too 🤷♂️You clearly don't know what happened. I asked Glenn everyday last week what days were the best days to play our match and even mentioned Monday that the best days for us was Friday & Saturday. The only thing he told me during the week was on Wednesday "He couldn't do Saturday" and on Friday late in the afternoon that he couldn't do Friday. Then he told me to ask someone else about playing the match that night. I asked Pedro about doing the match Friday night and he said "sure". After he said sure he then said "actually tmrrow preferably. I then said Glenn told me that they couldn't do Saturday so he then said "Sunday it looks like". I understand the rule but its very unfair to force us to play on a day that I mention won't be good for us. If I knew earlier on in the week before Friday that they could only do Sunday then I would have been okay with that. It is retarded how I offered multiple days to do the match and wouldn't even of mind doing it during the weekday if necessary just to get stoned walled until Friday afternoon. It is a captain's job to know their team's schedule and to schedule matches ahead of time because people make plans ahead of time. I understand the rule but it is unfair for one team to get a forfeit loss for being forced to play on a day that they couldn't because the other team decided to not communicate. Also sad how Glenn done this to Mikey's L2 team the week before us. "Being busy" isn't a good excuse because it is a captain's job to know his team's schedule and to schedule the match. I'm probably more busy then Glenn but yet I still go out of my way to schedule my matches early on in the week. Movement also asked for a solution about the match on Saturday but you Risk never gave/offered a Solution to movement. If a extension was offered I would be able to easily play 2 matches in one week but we were never told anything even when movement mentioned the issue.SpoilerMovement decided to intentionally forfeit and boycott his L2 match this week since they did not want to play on the default day, believing it was unfair to them.
Over the course of the past week, GBB and Cream Team were unable to schedule their match. The difficulties were such that in past seasons, we might have been forced to hand out a forfeit for failure to attempt to schedule the match in good faith. Xethos and I suggest that captains, both L1 and L2, make sure that even if they are too busy to schedule a match, to be able to point opposing teams toward somebody on their roster who has the opportunity to schedule. The default match day was introduced because of past experiences with such scheduling problems, and for matches to be played on time. Refer to round 12 of NWCL S1 to understand better why the current rule is necessary. It is also a rule that has been normalized for the past few draft leagues on NA for some time now.
This rule was in the ruleset when the thread was posted, and is one of the rules everybody agreed to when signing up. The correct time to call it retarded was sometime long before 11 o'clock at night the Friday before your week 4 match. The rule in question is Rule 5. Rule 5a is to handle situations where teams, for whatever reason, cannot make the default day and are free to schedule to a different day and time of their choosing. The latter half of Rule 5a states extensions can be granted and while it is not a guaranteed solution, absolutely no attempt was made to use it, nor to follow the written rule for an unsuccessful scheduling attempt. The effort was instead put into personal attacks and threats in steam messages and preventing the match from taking place at all.
This is obviously not acceptable, made worse by doing this in league 2, which exists purely to increase player participation in competitive NW. Punishing your own players and other teams from playing ruins the spirit of the league. If this continues and continued personal attacks on other people, Xethos, or myself then you will be in violation of Rules 26 and 31, and you will be removed from the league. This is the only warning.
I do not like making announcements like this as this is something I am hosting for people to have fun, but at certain points it is ruining the league.[close]
Movement didn't forfeit our match. We decided not to show up because 1.)we were forced to play on a day that Glenn knew wasn't good for us and 2.)we only had 2-3 people on including me at the time.
I think there should be a rule where captains have to schedule the match before a certain day and time so that you don't have issues like this.
all this over a Regular Season LEAGUE 2 MATCH?it is coming from the guy that counts League 2 and 3 NWL trophies as actual achievements
i mean my league 1 team could have done friday saturday or sunday but i just asked if saturday was ok and it was. if you would have said it didnt work then id be more than willing to play one of those days just like i did with my previous 2 matchesThere is no threat. Nick and me messaged both captains on Tuesday morning @1230am regarding the match, to see which day fits best for them. BabyJ comes back to me on thursday saying that he didnt see my message and only gave 1 day. Luckily my team can make that day and we play the match on saturday or else the same issue wouldve been for L1.BabyJ idk if u are too stupid to read but i message glenn everyday last week asking about what day to schedule...... I also only asked Pedro Friday because Glenn told me to.
Horse you are missing the point. I only said it is unfair because I was forced to play on a default day because Glenn couldn't give me a clear answer before Friday.
That is what the default day is for, if you guys cant figure out a day to schedule outside the default day, The match is set to that day unless agreed on otherwise.
Maybe rather then calling risk a retard, harassing him and threating to leave the league you guys could of been more mature about it and talked to Risk and Glenn about getting an extension so you guys could play when you could have your team members on.
On the other hand, Nick told glenn that sunday is not the optimal day for us since we could only bring 2 players that day. He eventually gets sent from one person to another and gets told an okay at first to one of the days that we can make it. After all of this I messaged Risk on saturday before the match to see if something can be done about this, and his response is we play sunday and thats it. My response to that is that my team which mainly consists of my friends wont like this and dont see the point in playing the league.
I understand that there are default days, but that is to prevent a match of not happening so you dont have a league like the one james hosted that lasted way too long. If a team is actively trying to schedule a match because of the fact that the default that doesnt work, then there should be a rule or anything in that sense to help the team instead of getting ignored and forced on a day that we were clearly trying to work around.
BabyJ idk if u are too stupid to read but i message glenn everyday last week asking about what day to schedule...... I also only asked Pedro Friday because Glenn told me to.kinda what a default day is little bro
Horse you are missing the point. I only said it is unfair because I was forced to play on a default day because Glenn couldn't give me a clear answer before Friday.
both camden and mikey also didnt have any issues nor did you really so i would say im doing fineIs this coming from the guy who didnt see my message until thursday night? Nick messaged glenn several days in a row to then get told by glenn to message pedro. Also I never asked Risk for an extension, I asked for a solution since scheduling with both of you was horrendousGlenn told you we couldnt do Saturday Wednesday and you asked for Friday at 12:30am Friday morning to which Glenn told you to try and schedule with someone else. And you messaged Pedro. Not once was i contacted by you or movement about any scheduling complications. And then you waited until Saturday night to ask Risk for an extension.You clearly don't know what happened. I asked Glenn everyday last week what days were the best days to play our match and even mentioned Monday that the best days for us was Friday & Saturday. The only thing he told me during the week was on Wednesday "He couldn't do Saturday" and on Friday late in the afternoon that he couldn't do Friday.

Now i do think glenn could have put more effort in, but so could you.
Risk literally did nothing wrong so idk why youre coming after him
BabyJ idk if u are too stupid to read but i message glenn everyday last week asking about what day to schedule...... I also only asked Pedro Friday because Glenn told me to.like i said glenn could have done more. all he had to do was tell you we only had had 2-3 people friday and saturday, which obviously we arent gonna schedule from a day we know we will have people to a day we arent gonna have anyone
Horse you are missing the point. I only said it is unfair because I was forced to play on a default day because Glenn couldn't give me a clear answer before Friday.
you dont get messages from people who arent your friend on mobile. i wouldnt have done a week day anyways so it doesnt even matter. and asking pedro is the absolute worst person to askIs this coming from the guy who didnt see my message until thursday night?

Movement didn't forfeit our match. We decided not to show up because 1.)we were forced to play on a day that Glenn knew wasn't good for us and 2.)we only had 2-3 people on including me at the time.
I think there should be a rule where captains have to schedule the match before a certain day and time so that you don't have issues like this.
