Regiments (Game Clans) / Old Dominion Minutemen [NA]
« on: June 11, 2022, 10:50:10 am »Description
Hello there! The Old Dominion Minutemen (Shortened to ODM) is a regiment founded by myself, Sharpe, Ratboy and Rommel. We are a fictional regiment based off of volunteerism in the state of Virginia in 1861, haphazardly formed to support the war effort and defend our native state. Originally intending to be a small regiment which just had a little fun at events, after our community showed much more interest than we expected, we decided to begin opening recruitment to outsiders and expanding to more than just a single line. Due to this, we will be adhering to a strict level of discipline, despite being a militia-type unit. This is why we are proud to announce we are currently working on expanding into both sharpshooters and artillery in the coming weeks! Eventually, we hope to have two lines (Coy H and B), artillery (Coy X), Sharpshooters (Coy S) and cavalry, if it is added to the game.
Meet the Leaders
Colonel Roy
Spoiler
[close]
Colonel Roy is the leader of the regiment and a veteran of a thousand battles. He began leading in 2012 on Napoleonic Wars, and since transitioned to Persistent World, where he led the largest group in North America, House Blackfyre. He has been working hard to build a community of friends and brothers, and now they wish to play Battle Cry of Freedom!
Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe
Spoiler
[close]
Lt. Col Sharpe led the prestigious Royal Green Jackets on Napoleonic Wars, and came across Roy during his leading of House Lannister on Persistent World. He is also known for leading the Knights Templar/Crusader States on Life is Feudal. He will be monitoring the Sharpshooters when our detachment is created.
Major Ratboy
Spoiler
[close]
Major Ratediah has assisted Roy as the co-founder and second-in-command of House Blackfyre since its founding, and is thus an irreplaceable part of the regiment. He will be monitoring the Artillery when our detachment is created.
Captain Rommel
Spoiler
[close]
Rommel, despite being quite unknown to leading, has a vast knowledge of the weaponry and formations of the civil war on account of his re-enactment experience, and thus was a natural choice in helping lead. He will be monitoring the Line detachments when the second has been created.
Schedule
Our schedule is currently as follows:
Spoiler
[close]
However, we are often open to various things on Mondays, whether that be trainings, 1v1s (friendly/casual only at the moment, competitive will only be ready in the coming months), groupfighting and the like.
Joining
Want to join the ODM? Perfect! You can join in the following ways:
1. Add any of our leaders on steam. Their links can be seen by clicking on the links in their names in the first section's second sentence.
2. Join our discord through the following link: https://discord.gg/Q5r26crBDY
Note: We operate out of the discord of House Blackfyre as it is part of the same community in which the ODM exists. You are not required in any way, shape or form to join House Blackfyre in order to be part of the ODM!

Thanks for the good lucks. And as Sharpe said it's far from dead, there were 180-190 at a siege event last night, and other events get similar numbers.

History of the Regiment
Spoiler
American Revolution
The regiment landed in Boston for service in the American Revolutionary War in June 1775. It was evacuated from Boston in March 1776 and went to Halifax from where a detachment was sent to Georgia to gather rice for the army in June 1776. It saw action at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, the Battle of Fort Washington in November 1776 and the Battle of Princeton in January 1777. It was in combat again at the Battle of Brandywine in September 1777 and the Battle of Germantown in October 1777.In November 1778 the regiment embarked for Barbados and took part in the Battle of St. Lucia in December 1778. The regiment was then based in Antigua until June 1781 when it returned to Staten Island and then took part in the Battle of Groton Heights in September 1781: Major William Montgomery, commanding the regiment was killed in the assault. In August 1782, the regiment took a county title as the 40th (the 2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot. The regiment embarked for home in November 1783.
Napoleonic Wars
The 40th was part of the force that attempted to capture Buenos Aires in 1806. After two years back in Britain, it was deployed to Spain and Portugal in what would become the Peninsular War, thus being one of only three regiments to serve throughout the entire Peninsula campaign. Briefly sent to Canada in 1814 during the War of 1812 (1812–15) it was soon recalled upon the ending of that conflict.The regiment later took part in the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812, the Siege of Badajoz in March 1812 and the Battle of Salamanca in July 1812[59] as well as the Battle of Vitoria in June 1813. It then pursued the French Army into France and fought at the Battle of the Pyrenees in July 1813, the Battle of Nivelle in November 1813 and the Battle of Orthez in February 1814 before also taking part Battle of Toulouse in April 1814.
In 1815 the regiment was rushed to join with Wellington’s army just before the Battle of Waterloo commenced. Initially placed in reserve, they were later in the day moved to the centre of his line to a position near La Haye Sainte. They held firm all day and helped drive off Napoleon’s final massed infantry attack, ultimately losing 170 killed or wounded, including their commanding officer Major Arthur Rowley Heyland.

We're moving over from another mod, so these numbers are just estimates, we're not sure how many people will be moving over with us, so please be patient as our numbers will inevitably improve throughout the following weeks. We'd like this to be a weekly event, and if the specialty classes are filled for whatever reason, our detachments will happily play either artillery or line.

Due to previously unseen things that came up we were not able to show up today, I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and hope you'll be able to look past it and let us come next week.
