The 23rd Regiment of Foot "Royal Welsh Fusiliers" was founded by Captain Dodge and his friend Adjutant Wallace. After the unfortunate disbandment of the Nr 7 Carl Schroder Dodge decided that it was best to hold onto what was left of the Nr7 that was willing to continue their career in Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars and form a regiment. Ever since the creation of the regiment we have created a community which helps sustain the regiment with an active total of 15 men per linebattle or 10 at the least. We do not wish to turn Napoleonic Wars into a job by putting constant amount of time into the game either in recruitment or practicing our melee which is why we do not consider ourselves to be competative as we just wish to do some good old fashioned linebattle, and maybe once in a while we may schedule a event where it would be our regiment against another. I (Dodge) Had led two other regiments besides this one in the past, my first regiment was the Kurmark Landwehr infanterie batailon and it was founded about two years ago, unfortunatly due to inactivity we had to disband three months into its creation. My second regiment was the 4th King's Own Regiment of Foot which had a long history of disbanding, renaming and reformations but at the same time including a good middle history when our regiment brought good attendance, had excellent discipline and was fierce in melee, in the end it disbanded because of a mix of instability from disbanding, reforming, renaming, the regiment loosing its former discipline and a loss of will to continue as captain. However the 4th King's Own Regiment of foot had lasted for a good seven months before its disbandment and includes some of my best memories of leading. Finally I am now captain of the 23rd, which I hope will bring me to some of the good memories I had in the 4th and bring a good experiance to my rankers as I had a very good experiance being a ranker in other people's regiment. History The Royal Welch Fusiliers was an infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales' Division. It was founded in 1689 to oppose James II and the imminent war with France. The regiment was numbered as the 23rd Regiment of Foot, though it was one of the first regiments to be granted the honour of a fusilier title and so was known as The Welsh Regiment of Fusiliers from 1702. The "Royal" accolade was earned fighting in the War of the Spanish Succession in 1713. It was one of the oldest regiments in the regular army, hence the archaic spelling of the word Welch instead of Welsh. In the Boer War and throughout the First World War, the army officially called the regiment "The Royal Welsh Fusiliers" but the archaic "Welch" was officially restored to the regiment's title in 1920 under Army Order No.56. During those decades, the regiment itself unofficially used the "Welch" form. The regiment was amalgamated with the Royal Regiment of Wales (RRW) on 1 March 2006, to become 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh (RRW becoming the 2nd Bn). Ranks

There is a great history not only of the regiment but of the people that make up the regiment, many of whom have months and years of experience in the game and regimenting. The 10th (North Lincoln) Regiment of Foot is founded and lead by Major Dodge, who has two years of experience not only as a ranker but as an officer. The members who make up this regiment are important and equal to each other as we have stuck close with each other like brothers making our regiment a growing brotherhood of new and old players of Napoleonic wars. We practice our melee on a daily basis on groupfighting servers, and if we are not found there we play other games because this allows for each member to get along with each other and work together. It is my firm belief that the key to a successful regiment is for the members to know how to work together. Everyone in the regiment strives to make the regiment not only successful but behave as a disciplined soldier during linebattles. We respect every regiment of the community and hope that everyone else in the community can respect the game and the community members. - Rules of the Line - Do not team wound Do not disobey orders Do not disrupt the line Be mature to other members!

Welcome to the 17e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne We are a community and NW (Napoleonic Wars) based regiment, as a community we do more that just go on NW for linebattles, we play other video games outside of Mount and Blade and spend alot of our time hanging out in teamspeak. There is a long story pertaining to the existance of the 17e however before we were the 17e our first name was 1stFKI (1. Lutzow's Freikorp Infanterie Bataillon) and then the 4th "King's Own" Regiment of Foot. The Regiment was founded by Dodge, Jabknife and Nutkilla who were friends that had met in their previous regiment, the 12e. Over time with hard work and careful management we grew and prospered however in the 1stFKI our administration was far different from what it is now, in the 1stFKI organisation was little and trolls were the main body of the regiment, after 2 months the regiment was renamed when the trolls were kicked out and a new system was set up, the whole point of renaming was there was a need to make sure that others thought of this as a fresh start for the better of the regiment. To this day we continue to grow stronger, bigger and disciplined to ensure that while we play NW we are respectable. - Rules of the Line - Do not Teamwound (Kicking, Punching etc.) Do not Disobey Orders!

To this day we continue to grow stronger, bigger and disciplined to ensure that while we play NW we are respectable. While we have worked and toiled to become the envy of the NW community we hope to make friends with other regiments of NW because there is a community full of opportinuties with the other more glorious regiments. We do not seek to become the best regiment in NW but we do strive to be your average friendly regiment, even though we do wish to become the envy of the community we specifically mean it in a way that implies we are envied because we are able to go through thick and thin and still come out stronger than before. We hope that every other member of the regiment can see the same vision as the officers and if you are looking for a relaxed and friendly community then the 4th King's Own Regiment of Foot is the placefor you! - Rules of the Line - Do not Teamwound (Kicking, Punching etc.) Do not Disobey Orders! Don't Mess up the Line (Going AFK while in Line, Wandering around etc.) Be mature to other members! Do not be annoying with your microphone (or chat) History Raising of the Regiment 1680 A second regiment of foot was raised for the defence of Tangier on 13th July 1680, under the Colonelship of the Earl of Plymouth. The first regiment later became the 2nd Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot and the second regiment later became the 4th King's Own. These two line regiments reinforced the Guards and Royal Dragoons but the 2nd Tangier Regiment arrived too late for the fight against the Moors. The fortified Moroccan town of Tangiers lies across the Straits of Gibralter and was a wedding gift to Britain on the betrothal of Charles II to Katherine of Braganza in 1662. It proved more trouble than it was worth and was given to the Moors in 1684. The War of American Independence 1775-78 The 4th King's Own were ordered out to North America in Feb 1774 and arrived in late summer. They were in the 1st Brigade in Boston with the 23rd and 47th regiments, under Brigadier Lord Percy. The Grenadier companies from the Boston based regiments were formed into separate battalions, as were the light companies. These battalions fought at Bunker Hill. By 1776 the Grenadiers of the 4th were part of the 1st Grenadier Battalion under the command of Col Meadows, and the Light Company was part of the 1st Light Battalion under Brigadier-General Leslie. The battalion companies were in the 1st Brigade commanded by Major-Gen Robinson. These units went to Charleston in June and then New York. In the battle of Brooklyn on 27th August 1776 the Grenadiers and Light Battalions took the brunt of the onslaught suffering 167 casualties. At another action at Haarlem on 16th Sept, the Light Battalion took many casualties along with the 42nd regiment. In 1777, the Light Company took part in the battles at Brandywine on 11th Sept, and Germantown. The 4th, with a strength of 354, was in Vaughan's Brigade in Clinton's First Division for the expedition to Philadelphia. In 1778 the strength of the 4th was down to 295. French Revolutionary War The regiment was back in North America for service in Canada and Newfoundland from 1787 to 1793. They also took part in the capture of St Pierre and Miquelon, then the expedition to North Holland in 1799. There they were involved in an action on 6th October in which they suffered heavy casualties. Corunna 1809 The regiment served under Sir John Moore at Shorncliffe in 1804 and a second battalion was raised. The 1st battalion then went to Hanover in 1805 and was at Copenhagen in 1807. They were with Sir John Moore in Sweden in 1808 when he took them to Portugal for the ill-fated campaign that resulted in the retreat to Corunna. They were in Baird's Division. Because of Moore's influence on their training the regiment suffered less than most. Peninsular War 1810-14 The regiment was sent on the disastrous Walcheren Expedition which was intended to capture Antwerp. But sickness plagued the whole army and the attempt had to be abandoned. The 4th suffered deaths from the illness but were one of the first Walcheren regiments to be sent to the Peninsula where the 1st battalion joined the 5th Division under Leith at Torres Vedras in Nov 1810. The second battalion went to Gibraltar, spending some time at Ceuta, then at the siege of Cadiz. The battalions were subsequently re-united in Spain. Badajoz 1812 The British had already stormed Ciudad Rodrigo but Badajoz proved to be a terrible fight that involved incredible bravery in all the regiments involved. The town was defended by French and German troops. On the night of April 6th, four separate attacks were made on the breaches that had been made by artillery fire. Leith's 5th Division, of which the 4th was part, launched it's attack on the north-west corner of the town, the San Vincente bastion, and were successful after bloody hand to hand fighting. They were able to come to the aid of the other British attacks by falling on the defenders from the rear. The British troops avenged their dead comrades by looting and raping the townspeople over a two day period. As they cleared the enemy from the ramparts, Private George Hatton of the 4th captured the Colour of the Regiment Hess D'Armstadt. He later presented the flag to the Duke of Wellington who rewarded him with money and promotion. The Colour was kept at the Royal Hospital Chelsea for 135 years but restored to the regiment in 1947. Salamanca 1812 This action was preceded by a month of marching and manoeuvres in the hot sun before Wellington was prepared to give battle to the French commander Marmont on 22nd July. It was a hard fought battle that resulted in heavy casualties, 14,000 French and 5,200 Allies. The 4th had both battalions present, brigaded with 30th, 44th and some Brunswickers. They broke up some French Infantry squares and later faced the advance of French columns under Sarrut which they defeated. Vittoria 1813 After the victory at Salamanca, Wellington had to withdraw with a hungry army demoralised after an abortive attempt on Burgos. But the following year saw an upturn in Allied fortunes and the French were being forced back to the Pyrenees. In June the French, commanded by Joseph and Jourdan halted in the valley of Vittoria. Wellington split his force to approach them from different directions.. The 4th King's Own were in the 5th Division, which, with the 1st Division numbered 25,000 men. On 21st June they approached from the north-east under the command of Thomas Graham. They found themselves opposite Sarrut's division, as hey had at Salamanca. Their brisk volleys caused the French to break and they began to retreat eastwards. It was like the breaking of a dam and spelled the beginning of the end of the French hold on the Peninsula. A huge hoard of treasure was recovered from the fleeing enemy which enriched every soldier in the Allied army. San Sebastian 1813 Lieutenant Maguire The last strongholds of the French in Spain were Pamplona and San Sebastian, and it was decided to deal with these before moving into France. An assault on 25th July had failed so another attempt was made on 22nd August on the arrival of an efficient battering train and a unit of sappers and miners. On the 31st August, after a bombardment, the 5th Division were sent into the breach on the eastern defences of the town. This was led by Robinson's brigade which consisted of the 4th, 47th, 59th regiments and Brunswickers. During this assault, a Forlorn Hope section of the regiment was sent in, led by Lieutenant Francis Maguire. He died in the attempt. It was his 21st birthday. The fighting was very fierce and looked as if it would not succeed until Graham ordered an artillery bombardment while the men were pinned down at the base of the breach. The artillery aim was so good that there were few British casualties. They broke through into the town as a terrific thunderstorm opened up. Total Allied losses were 3,700 men. Bidassoa and Nivelle 1813 The retreating French prepared defences on the River Bidassoa but these were overrun in a surprise attack by the Allies on 7th October. It was no mean feat, resulting in the Allied loss of 1,600 men. A further battle was fought at the River Nivelle on 10th November which resulted in the withdrawl of the French to defensive lines along the Adour and Nive rivers which run into the sea at Bayonne. The 4th were there but were not awarded a battle honour although the 'honour' NIVELLE was mistakenly added to their badge in 1833 but later changed to NIVE. Nive 1813 The Battle of Nive lasted 4 days from 9th to 12th December. The regiment were in the 5th Division under Sir John Hope which launched a diversionary attack towards Bayonne on the first day. On the 10th, Soult counter-attacked but the Division held their ground. On the final day the Portuguese were under attack in Barroilhet but were reinforced by the 5th Division. Unfortunately they were badly supplied with ammunition. Lieut John Fraser died of wounds he received at this battle. The regiment went on to blockade Bayonne for the last action of this war. Bladensburg 1814 In May 1814 the 4th were sent to North America to contribute to the War of 1812. The British, urged by the governor of Canada were to attack New York and Washington. The regiments involved in the attack on Washington were the 4th, 21st, 44th, 85th and the Marines. The Americans were badly led by Brig-Gen William Winder and Gen Tobias Stansbury. They decided to make a stand at Bladensburg but they were routed and the Americans ran through the streets of Washington so fast that they inspired a poem, 'The Bladensburg Races'. Washington was badly damaged by fire caused by British troops. New Orleans 1815 The British commander, Ross was killed by a sniper and replaced by General Packenham, brother-in-law of Wellington. He led the attack, in January, on New Orleans which was defended by Andrew Jackson, future president of America. The British were roundly defeated with the 4th suffering the loss of half their number. Soon after this they sailed home. Waterloo 1815 The depleted battalion was reinforced from the second battalion and sent straight out to Flanders for the final battle against Napoleon. Lt-Col Francis Brooke commanded the 4th, the regiment being brigaded with the 27th and 40th under Maj-General Sir John Lambert. They did not see action at Quatre Bras and began the battle of Waterloo, on 18th June, as a reserve brigade. But by 6pm they were brought up to the front line, just to the north-east of La Haie Sainte. This farm had finally fallen to Marshal Ney and he placed artillery to cause havoc in Wellington's thin red line. Lambert's 10th Brigade took heavy casualties from the salvos of French artillery. Worst hit were the 27th Inniskillings with 105 killed, 373 wounded, then the 40th Somersets with 52 killed, 169 wounded. The 4th suffered 12 killed and 122 wounded. The regiment stayed in France until 1818 as part of the army of occupation. Ranks

The 4th King's Own Regiment of Foot has been founded by Captain Dodge. The 4th is a regiment that has been lead by Captain Dodge for over a month and we continue to grow in size and continue to work on the quality of our soldiers, We do not give up on recruits who are only trying to become better at the game and have a fun time. As a regiment who do have certain expectations that we hope everyone can follow while still enjoying their time whether they are playing in a line battle or if they are playing on their leisure time. We follow rules accordingly which are also on the steam group and we expect that everyone play their part during line battles while also being respectful to the leaders and other members of the line. We look to relive the glory of the 4th in the NW community. This regiment was founded by three experienced leaders who have now been given the chance to bring glory to people of their own and that place their trust into these people of war. British regiments themselves have proven to be quite popular and rather well experianced inside and that is why I feel people as experianced as us would be able to take the name into their battles. I believe that the 4th is a interesting and excellent choice for a regiment because of their long history in which they have served their country and king and that it would be an honour to represent those who has served in it. As a regiment that has been around for only a month now, we have already grown considerably in size and strength within our soldiers has grown. A trust has been made by both the officers and the members inside the 4th to continue to follow the rules and work carefully to continue our growing community. We also hope that our members can follow the simple rules in which will create a fair and relaxed community between ourselves and the rest of NW. - Rules of the Line - Do not Teamwound (Kicking, Punching etc.) Do not Disobey Orders!
