The 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers a veteran regiment from the Napoleonic wars lived on through the Anglo-Zulu War, posted in India throughout the war, the regiment fought off mostly Indian rebels, we will bring our men from our NW unit to events in the Anglo-Zulu war modification.
Organisation and ranks The 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers dates back to the days of MM_Prussia_5 This was the mod of MM which had the dodgy experimental artillery. Once MM_Russia_3 came out the 29th Horse Artillery was born, one of the finest artillery regiments of the Mount and Musket era! The regiment grew and was reborn as the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers.
The 87th is a Line Infantry unit which focus on fast paced line formations, crisp volleys and painful bayonet charges. Trainings focus on bettering our skills, having fun and every now and then getting drunk, that's right the 87th has regimental drunk nights which take place on Friday trainings and line battles, these have been very interesting events. Discipline is a must in the regiment, the commanding officer will kill you as much as look at you and kick your remains out the door without the blink of an eye, but having fun and of course your real life is also a priority.
