33rd Anniversary Event [EU] 9 years!

[33rdOfficial]

| 27th June 2021 | 18:45 - 20:00BST | In celebration of our 9 year anniversary the 33rd will be hosting a one-off event, of a scale which we have not attempted before; The event will be based around the iconic battle of Waterloo and consist of 3 servers, aiming to accomodate between 500-600 people for an event lasting around an hour. This is a step up from our event last year, as we will be running the three servers in parrallel; it should however solve some of the issues from the last one, mimizing on server swapping and allowing round/map changes to occur immediately as rounds end. The concept of the event is to have three servers running the full course of the event, each focusing on a different area of the battlefield. Each server will begin on either Battle or Siege, then each go their own route depending on the victor of the previous round. Normal rounds will go back and forth between Battles and Siege, with more specific RP rounds occurring half way through and at the end of the event. Initial balancing of each faction will be performed by us as hosts but the distribution of each factions regiments across each server will be discussed and carried out by the team themselves, each having their own groupchat when the event begins. It will then be the responsibility of those regiments to communicate with each other and potentially swap various regiments, to affect the outcome of rounds in each server as any wins will score the factions points which will be totalled up at the end of the event. Any regiment can apply for this event but please note that specific regiments have been privately invited whom will have priority to attend should they wish to. If there is space once these regiments have responded we will accept any other applications here, on a first come first served basis. | The Event at a glance |

Three seperate event servers (160-200 players each) to play out the battle, each focusing on a different area. The two factions will distribute themselves across the three servers, swapping as they wish. As such round and mode changes will be swift with no balancing required to be carried out by the admin. Rounds won go towards a central score board which will determine the winning faction. Map Selection for each server will consist of 3 specific maps to that server, plus two RP round maps to be used half way through the event and at the end. Rounds will be kept short with 'all charges' being called (if necessary) no later than 53:00 for Battle and 10min timers for Sieges. Ranged damage reduction scripts are in place (70%) to increase the punishment double rank lines can take before they take excessive casualties. (enables lines to use some more RP manoeuvres or to more comfortably push melee where they wish to, also makes siege more melee focused)

| Server 1 | The right flank of the Allied position is the first to be heavily engaged, with Jerome's divison attacking the orchard in front of Hougoumont farmhouse at 11:30. As such this server will begin in Battle. At approximately half-time (19:15) this server will play out the Prince of Orange's Blunder, with the 5thKGL moving forward to the centre of the battlfield in an attempt to relieve the encircled farmhouse of La Haye Sainte, only to be caught in line by French cavalry. Prince of Orange's Blunder ...

| Server 2 | The centre of the Allied position is engaged around midday, with D'Erlons corps advancing across the plain to hammer through the allied line in one swift blow. As such this server will begin in Battle on the allied ridge. At approximately half-time (19:15) this server will play out the Charge of the Union Brigade, with the Scots Greys charging across the field through D'erlons corps and attacking the French guns. They are swifty counter-attacked by fresh Lancers. Charge of the Union Brigade Play will then continue with the Battle/Siege back and forth until approximately 19:40, when all parts of the British line (all servers) pull back and form square, to recieve Ney's Cavalry Charge. Ney's cavalry charge After this round please stay on for the server for 5mins for a quick form-up and screenshot!

| Server 3 | The left of the Allied position is engaged around midday, with the right wing of D'Erlons corps encountering numerous defended farmhouses. As such this server will begin in Siege with the defence of Papelotte. At approximately half-time (19:15) this server will play out D'Erlons attack in greater detail, with a French column on the right wing facing off against the Allied cavalry counter-attack.
