| The 1er Régiment de Chasseurs-à-Pied de la Garde Impériale, or in plain English, the 1st Foot Chasseur regiment are a light infantry unit who focus to be some of the best shots in the community. For those who prefer the bigger guns, we have a current artillery detachment, which indeed is historically inaccurate, but it gives more variety to the regiment. If this interests you, read on for more.
In terms of what makes us unique or special from other Napoleonic Wars regiments, the elements included could be the active and friendly community the regiment works around, the style of organization and promotional structure, as well as the reward system we use for strong discipline, input, loyalty, skill etc. The regiment is English speaking, and mainly containing British members, but the name was chosen so there was a sense of variety, and not the usual British units which is highly cliché of the period, Sharpe, or Hornblower included. The regiment contains mainly EU members, however events are placed mainly on weekends so it's easy for all to attend. 7 GMT (2 EST) is our staple time for events, and so weekdays will not be possible for NA members of course. Due to title, we strongly support the musket, and the firing of it. We excel in long range combat, but also melee is of course, a vital part which members must hold a basic level of skill to. Now for some past history to the regiment community.
The regiment was renamed from the 53e after 8 months of fighting numerous battles, which was moved up into the ranks of the Old Guard Chasseurs in July 2013. With roughly 40 members, and 20 to events, we attempt to provide the best light infantry and artillery Napoleonic Wars experience without the hassle and dedication of the real army. When it comes to rules and regulations, we simply ask that you respect every member of the community, no matter your relations. No conflicts or confrontation with anyone, if they are the aggressor, simply ignore them, more detail is below in the thread. In terms of activeness, we only wish that you inform an officer or NCO that you will be late/ absent for any reason, playing other games, or being out for the night. We hope that enjoy your experience with the 1er Chasseurs, and do well in future battles to come! |
