History of the Coldstream The in game regiment was formed 11 April, 2015 as the 8te Freikorps but then the Königreich got boring sorry Preußen. The origin of the Coldstream Guards lies in the English Civil War when Oliver Cromwell gave Colonel George Monck permission to form his own regiment as part of the New Model Army. Monck took men from the regiments of George Fenwick and Sir Arthur Haselrig, five companies each, and on 23 August 1650 formed Monck's Regiment of Foot. Less than two weeks later this force took part in the Battle of Dunbar, at which the Roundheads defeated the forces of Charles Stuart. Monck's regiment was left in Scotland. After Richard Cromwell's death, Monck gave his support to the Stuarts, and on 1 January 1660 he crossed the River Tweed into England at the village of Coldstream, from where he made a five-week march to London. He arrived in London on 2 February and helped in the Restoration of the monarchy. For his help, Monck was given the Order of the Garter and his regiment was assigned to keep order in London. However, the new parliament soon ordered his regiment to be disbanded with the other regiments of the New Model Army. A Coldstream Guard at the Tower of London, July 2006 Before that could happen, Parliament was forced to rely on the help of the regiment against the rebellion by the Fifth Monarchists led by Thomas Venner on 6 January 1661. The regiment successfully defeated the rebels and on 14 February the men of the regiment symbolically laid down their arms as part of the New Model Army and were immediately ordered to take them up again as a royal regiment of The Lord General's Regiment of Foot Guards, a part of the Household Troops. The regiment was placed as the second senior regiment of Household Troops, as it entered the service of the Crown after the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards, but they answered to that by adopting the motto Nulli Secundus (Second to None), due to the fact that the regiment is older than the senior regiment. The regiment always stands on the left of the line when on parade with rest of the Foot Guards, so standing "second to none". When Monck died in 1670, the Earl of Craven took command of the regiment and it adopted a new name, the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards.

My thread is too dead :(goooooooooooooooood
goodie luckie
Don't worry we wont be as bad as you!Your wit proves to be worse than Ody's too. Calling you rename or disband in a month.
:steamsalty:That's the best you got? I half expected to hear the same story about Aratrex over and over.
And I expected your reg to last more than 3 weeks.Pretty sure this'll be as successful as your 1erGren revival. Enjoy what little remains of NA NW, personally you can do whatever to the 8te, I doubt it'll amount to being any more notable than Ody's attempt.
Rip
Oh well at least my "1er revival" worked.Define successful.

Your my bitch flo dont forget it
Ts Channel- How this reg will be run
Ginger is the "Trusty" of this regiment, this means that your glorius leader flo must consult Ginger on all major Decisions so I (Flo) do not make any stupid decisions in haste or idiocy such as starting a detachment with insificent numbers
Ginger will decide Flo's rank so flo get a sense of reward for doing non retarded things, Flo may have 2 Nco's and no more without ginger's permission.
Flo can promote or demote anyone within the reg who is below him as long as it is not to a Nco Rank if the current cap it hit
If flo is doing somthing retarded or has made a decision that you wish to challange go to ginger to question flo's decision
