Our Face is our master,
Our Face is our lord,
The enemy who dares to oppose us,
Soon the Face will behold (...)
So begins "The Face", narrative poem written in 1798 by Baltic region poet, Caesim Māukiņš Stikuts. The poem (a milestone of European romanticism) as a whole is now considered to be lost, but it had to be a powerful poetry, as it inspired the first wave of Spring of Nations in early XIXth century and inspired existence of paramilitary militia force, named after the poem and thus known as The Face. Drawing inspiration from the poem describing mysterious and powerful being, "The Face" (a symbolical embodiment of rising strength of surpressed nations as well as the force that will put the tyrants to justice), certain men (initially led by author himself, who successfuly called young, idealistic bourgeois circles to take arms) created this independent troop to fight all across the Europe, wherever the old tyranny was challenged by the refreshing winds of freedom blowing from France. Sadly ignored by modern historical research, The Face played a considerable role in every stage of Napoleonic era. In-game, we are regiment with over a year of experience in playing in unofficial NW servers community. We have recently ended our activity there and moved here with certain base of members, sufficient to enter events, but we have ambition to grow more and become fully competitive regiment of infantry scene. We are not strictly line nor light infantry type oriented, we play as both. Our organisation and approach, as you might have guessed, might differ from other regiments. Creating something different and unlike the usual Number_Type_Rank kind of thing is, indeed, our goal.
We're international. Many regiments would claim so, but most do have some kind of national/language majority that makes outsiders feel like... outsiders. We don't. We are as international as it gets.
We have a unique rank system, meaning of which is revealed only to insiders. The true commanding officer we have is The Face itself. Nevertheless, we do have people in-charge (you can call them officers, if you prefer). These are:
Now, ask yourself the question. Do you feel The Face? Do you feel it's calling you? Do you see it in your dreams? If yes, come with us and fight for it.
