Artillerie de la Jeune Garde

Welcome to the thread of the Artillerie de la Jeune Garde! We are a NA French artillery regiment for Napoleonic Wars.



Regimental History

In 1809, 3 companies of artillery were raised for service in Spain. These companies acted as regimental artillery and were issued to the infantry regiments of Young Guard already in Spain. In the following year the 3 companies became artillery of Young Guard. In 1813 an entire regiment of foot artillery of the Young Guard was formed. This regiment was commanded by Francois Joseph Henrion. The 1st Regiment of Guard Foot Artillery [1er Regiment d’Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale] had 2 battalions of Old Guard and 1 battalion of Young Guard. Each battalion had 3 companies. The company of Old Guard had 4 12pdr cannons, crew, horse-teams, and train. The train drivers were ranked as Middle Guard (not Old Guard). The company of Young Guard had 8 4pdrs, crew, horse-teams, and train.
Napoleon expected a lot of ammunition for the guns of Guard Artillery. The 8 pdr cannon was issued 3 caissons and the heavy 12 pdr and the howitzer 5 caissons each. Each caisson held approx. 350 rounds. The ammunition wagons were operated by men of artillery train. These men were carefully selected. From the candidates was required 10 years' excellent service, bravery and good character. According to the Decree of July 29th, 1804 the requirements for the Guard artillery train were: 5 years' service and height above 1.78m (5'2'' French). Every battalion of artillery train in the army had to provide a list of 6 NCOs or troopers meeting these requirements. Until 1812 all gunners wore these coats (habits) but in 1812 the Young Guard gunners were issued the new short tailed habit-veste. For a grand parade the dark blue breaches and long white gaiters were worn. For service and parades were issued the black gaiters. In 1813 the long gaiters were replaced by shorter black or grey ones. In about that time were issued long linen or cotton drawers, which would usually be worn without or over the breeches to keep warm. The elegant breeches required washing, but it was not the case with the drawers. Young Guard artillery devastated Russian forces at the battle of Leipzig in 1813. The flanking fire from the guns behind the Pleisse in the Rosenthal Woods was devastating and broke the Russian attack.

4. Westpreußische Artillerie

Welcome to the thread of the 4. Westpreußische Artillerie! We are a NA Foreign Intervention artillery regiment for North and South. We plan to become an artillery force to be reckoned with on the battlefields of North and South.



Regimental History

The Prussian Army fought in three wars around the time of the American Civil War. These were the Danish-Prussian War (1864), the Seven Weeks War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). The Prussian Army was remarkably successful during these wars, due to its ability to quickly mobilize through effective use of railroads. The Prussian Army's organization was far superior to the French, Austrian, and Danish armies, which led to the relativly swift defeats of those countries. This effectiveness of the Prussian army was very important in the campaign for German Unification that Bismarck and the Prussian nation had embarked upon.
Artillery in the Prussian Army was a well organized and effective branch. Prussian Infantrymen found their Dreyse outclassed by the French Chassepot, but at the same time the French found their rifled Napoleon's outclassed by Prussian breech-loading Krupp artillery. Prussian artillery outclassed their opponents time and time again, and the long range advantage this gave the Prussians meant devestation for their opponents. Krupp guns played an important part in demolishing fortifications at the Siege of Paris, and were indeispensible when bombarding the enemy from long range on the battlefield. The explosive shells fired from the cannons inflicted massive casualties, and the faster breech-loading reloading time meant it could fire deadlier shells at a faster rate than any other artillery on the battlefield.

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.

♔ Imperial Mounted Infantry ♔

Welcome to the thread of the Imperial Mounted Infantry we are a British Dragoon and Light Infantry regiment based in North America. We aim to create a casual and fun experience in the Anglo-Zulu War module



Regimental History

The Imperial Mounted Infantry was a makeshift British unit made specificly for service in the Anglo-Zulu War. It consisted of two squadrons of 150 men each, a total of 300 enlisted, NCOs and officers. The men of the Imperial mounted Infantry were regular soldiers taken from several regiments within the British Army in South Africa. The men included troops from the 3rd, 13th, 24th, and 80th Regiments of Foot. They were armed with Henry-Martini rifles like the majority of British forces in the war. The Mounted Infantry proved a versatile force for scouting and skirmishing. They would screen the main column and provide cover for advancing troops. They were more reliable and versatile than many other Anglo-Allied cavalry units because they had experience being regular British foot soldiers as well as cavalrymen.During the initial advance into ZuluLand, the first squadron of Mounted Infantry was attached to No. 3 Column that made camp at Isandhlwana. The second Squadron was with No. 1 Column.

The Battle of Isandhlwana
Isandhlwana is considered one of the worst defeats of a European army by an indigenous force in Africa. No. 3 Column was caught unprepared by an Impi of over 30,000 Zulu warriors. The camp had no fortifications or perimeter defenses and was quickly overrun. The British began a frenzied retreat as the Zulus surged about their tents and wagons. The 1st Squadron of Mounted Infantry, along with other British cavalry units, was able to escape the carnage and give covering fire to retreating British troops. Over 1.300 British and allied troops were killed. Only 11 members of the Mounted Infantry survived:
Sergeant P Naughton (2/3rd), Corporal J McCan (1/24th), Privates E Evans (2/3rd), J Edwards (2/3rd), J Gascoigne (2/3rd), D Whelan (1/13th), S Wassall (80th), T Westwood (80th), H Davis (1/24th), W Parry (1/24th), J Power (1/24th).

United States Artillery

Welcome to the thread of the United States Artillery! We are relaxed artillery regiment for the War of 1812 mod that is always recruiting aspiring American Artillerists.




Regimental History

The American artillery of the War of 1812 was a relatively new and inexperienced branch of the army. Artillery had not been used widely in skirmishes with the natives, which was the only real battle experience and American servicemen had. When war broke out, the artillery was organized into batteries that consisted of six to eight cannons each. Most of the artillery were six pounders, but heavier pieces such as 12 pdrs were also used for sieges and bombardment of fortified positions. Batteries often contained one or two howitzers in lieu of some cannons. The British on several occasions used their experimental Congreve Rockets on the US Army, a technology the American artillery was not familiar with.
Artillery on both sides of the war did not play as prominent a role as they had on European battlefields. Both the British and Americans seldom brought enough infantry forces to a battle to create tempting targets for artillery. Cannons and Howitzers took a back seat to light and irregular forces, although cannons were indispensable during sieges of heavily fortified towns and forts, like Fort Erie.

General Discussion / Grenzers: Light or Line?
« on: November 04, 2014, 07:17:52 pm »
I have 1 simple question to ask: Are Grenzers, when armed with infantry muskets, light infantry or line? I guess the real question is, do they get an accuracy bonus?

~ Nr. 2 Grenz-Infanterie "Otocaner" Regiment ~ {NA}
Welcome to the page of the Nr. 2 Grenz Infanterie Regiment, or Nr2-Grenz! We are a relaxed and friendly Napoleonic Wars regiment that plays mostly as Artillery and Skirmishers. We accept players from all over the world, but we are mainly a North American community.

It is important for any joining members to understand that we are not just a Napoleonic Wars regiment, but a gaming community. Our current obsession is Europa Universalis 4, and we enjoy playing other games like Total War and CS:GO.

~ History of the Grenzers ~

In the 16th century, emperor Ferdinand I of the Holy Roman Empire created two military districts on the Habsburg frontier with Ottoman Turkey. The Croatian and Hungarian frontiers were obligated to supply troops to the Empire for defense against the Turks, and for the Emperor's other wars during peace with the Turks. So began a long tradition of Austrian recruitment of frontiersman.
Early Croatian Grenzers
The Grenzers were recruited from the districts of the Croatian region, and served as the first line of defense between the Ottoman Empire and Christian Europe. During the Napoleonic era, Grenzers were trained in both light and line tactics. They were expert marksman, as well as highly disciplined and ferocious in hand-to-hand combat. Grenzer regiments were highly independent, and usually had their own artillery and even cavalry to support themselves. They were highly versatile in battle, and were able to go into loose formations and skirmish, and then to form line and act with the cool discipline of a professional regiment.
Napoleonic Grenzers
At the outbreak of war in 1805, there were 13,000 Grenzers in Austrian service. Napoleon held the Grenzers in high regard, and called them the most ferocious soldiers in the Austrian army. When Croatia was annexed by Napoleon, the French wasted no time in incorporating the Grenzers into the their army. After the Napoleonic Wars, the threat of Ottoman Turkey diminished, and the Grenzers became less important in the Austrian army. With the rise of nationalism, the non-Austrian Grenzers became mistrusted by the Austrian military command, and were downsized. A small number of Grenzers served in World War I, and continued to serve until the fall of the empire in 1918.
~ History of the Nr. 2 Grenz-Infanterie ~

The Nr. 2 were recruited from Otočac in southern Croatia. They fought with distinction at both Marengo and Austrelitz, despite the serious defeats both of those battles were for the Austrians. In the Treaty of Schönbrunn, Croatia was annexed by France. The Nr. 2 Grenz, as well as the Nr.1, Nr.3, Nr.4, Nr.10, and Nr. 11, went into French service. They remained under French command until Napoleon's abdication in 1814. They were thereafter reinstated into the Austrian army.
Artillery

Our artillery wing is led by our regimental leader, Marcus. We are all experienced with artillery, and our detachment has spots for loaders, shooters, sappers, and officers. Ranks will be decided on experience and skill in shooting. Regardless of rank, everyone will get a chance to fire the cannons. We will mostly use regular field guns during regular linebattles, and howitzers and mortars during siege. If you're not too good of a shot, don't worry! We have regular trainings were everyone is allowed to fire their own cannons. Those who are seen to have the best shots are given priority during events. Historically, Grenzer regiment often had light artillery for support that would be crewed by Grenzer artillerymen. With artillery in their units, the Grenzers became more versatile and self sufficient.


~ Skirmishers ~

Austrian grenzers were some of the most impressive marksman of the Napoleonic Wars. We too pride ourselves on our marksmanship skills. Co-led by Korman and RedRedcoat, we have experience in both light infantry and skirmisher tactics. We will play primarily as rifles, but we will sometimes play as light infantry as well. Historically, Austrian Grenzers were some of the most skilled marksman of the Napoleonic Era. These rugged frontiersman were used to the difficulties of Balkan life, and regularly used rifles in their own daily lives. Many strange and exotic weapons found their way into the hands of these Croations, such as double-barreled muskets and hand mortars. Grenzers had a wide set of skills in terms of firearms, from rifles, to shotguns to regulation muskets. This versatility and skill made them a deadly force on the battlefield.

MORE TO COME




~ Line Infantry ~
We are starting to place a greater focus on line tactics and melee in our regiment. We currently have one line event during our schedule, and we hope to add more in the future. Our line is led by Korman and has experienced meleers and good marksmen. Currently, we aren't doing 1v1s or NWL, but this may come in the future. This is a growing component of our regiment, and we plan to eventually make this a professional component of our regiment. Historically, Grenzer regiments acted in both regular line roles and irregular light roles. They were at their best in melee combat, and were also very good marksmen, which made them a formidable component of the Austrian military. Grenzers were present at most Austrian battles, including Austrelitz, Marengo, Leipzig, and Ulm.

HELLO NW PLAYERS


I WANT TO HAVE A HUUUUUUUUGE EU4 GAME. IT WILL BE REALLY FUN. I would like at least 10-15 players!

To reach this goal I need your help! I want people to post their steam names on this thread and tell me a nation they would like to play as! Invite friends! INVITE STRANGERS!

Requirements:
- It is RECOMMENDED that you live in North America for this event, preferably in the EST timezone.
- It's kind of impossible to get through a game of EU4 in one sitting, so we may need multiple days to play. I dont see 15 people always getting on at the same time, but if we    have enough (TBD based on the amount of players), we will play.
- Anything goes really. I'm not restricting any nations, no matter how "OP" they are. However, you shouldn't bully other players as big bad France. I want everyone to have fun, no matter if they're Muscovy or Oyo.

We will determine the date once we have enough people pledged.
And as for myself, ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!! Add me on steam at [3eVolt] RedRedcoat
