The best regiments are the ones who can maneuver from column into line on the move in two ranks with half man spacing between each file and can do two rank volleys without the first man kneeling.

Could always add the Rusos Deutsche Legion Hussars from Mount and Musket who were light cav with heavy cav swords. Also put the sword bayonet back on the Baker rifle

Yep.

I vaguely remember sometime back in Mount and Musket where Argos lead a public training teaching officers in the community double rank drill. Loved that.

Good luck! Always perplexed me why so few KGL units have been portrayed in this community since they have such a fascinating history.

Something I made way back before I knew how to make good threads.

History of the 21e Régiment d'infanterie de Ligne : 1791-1815
 | Routes and Revulution : The 21eme Demi-Brigade The 21ème Regiment d'Infanterie is one of the oldest regiments in the World. It was raised in Lorraine in 1598 by Henri de Vaubecourt at the time when Henri of Navarre became King Henry IV of France. It continued as a regiment of the Monarchy under the name of its Colonel until it became the Regiment Guyenne in 1762.It was not until the French Revolution that it was known as the 2leme Demi-Brigade de Ligne. The regiment served in Germany in 1793 and by the mid 1790's was in the Armme d'Italie. The 2leme was involved in action at Laona in 1796 and also Montenotee, Millesimo, Dego and the bridge at Lodi. It was at Lodi where Grenadiers of the Regiment charged over the bridge under constant fire shouting "Vive la Republique!" overthrowing the Austrian defenders and capturing their artillery. In 1799 the regiment saw further action at Verona, Magano, Trebbia and most notably the Battle of Novi. It was here that Sergeant-Major Jean Georges Pauly, cut off by a body of Russian Cavalry was called upon to surrender. Replying Je Passe Quand Même he rallied a handful of men and forced his way back to the regiment using musket butt and bayonet killing or wounding more than 40 Russians in the process. |
 | From Austerlitz to Eylau : Height of the Grande Armee The regiment was designated the 2leme Regiment d' Infanterie de Ligne in 1803. In 1804 it formed part of the Armee d' Angleterre when the concept of the Grande Armee was first created by Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1805 the regiment marched under Marshal Louis Nicoholas Davout as part of the 3eme Corp d' Armee to fight the combined might of Austria and Russia at Austerlitz.In 1806 Davout's Corps found itself facing the main Prussian army under the Duke of Brunswick at Auerstadt, whilst Napoleon was defeating what he believed to be the main army at Jena. The 2leme defended the village of Hassenhausen in the centre of the French line. Corporal Boutloup of the Voltigeur company, along with six men, took a Prussian gun and caisson and turned it on the Prussians. These men, having killed the gun crew, manned the cannon for over half an hour until ammunition was exhausted. Losses were heavy but the three divisions of the 3eme Corp became famous through the Armee as "Les Trois Immortelles". The 2leme saw further action at Custrun, Pultusk and Eylau and later still at Eckmul and Wargram. It was at Custrin, a single company bluffed the fortress into surrendering and took 4,000 Prussian prisoners. |
 | The Russian Campaign : The Death of the Regiment The 2leme was later reformed in the same year and saw action including the battle of Dresden. It was here the regiment was left behind while Napoleon moved back to Leipzig. It fought at Hellendorf where Lieutenant Doignon and the Grenadier company took some 70 Russian prisoners. Inevitably, the 2leme passed into captivity at Dresden. In 1814 the regiment was reformed from the depots in France and fought the British army for the very first time at Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands. It was here that the Colour of the Foot Guards was taken. (Now on display at the Invalides in Paris). Now following the Emperor's abdication the 21e Regiment de Ligne continued as a reluctant regiment of the monarchy but not for long. |
 | The 100 Days : The regiment's Waterloo Napoleons return from exile in 1815 marked the start of a campaign that was to become known as the 100 Days. As the storm clouds gathered over Europe his imperial army formed up below the eagles once again.The regiment missed both actions at Ligny and Quartre Bras to the confusion in command. They formed part of the French right wing on the field of Waterloo. With shouts of "Vive L' Empereuer!" they descended into the valley under the fiery vault of French and English shells which arched over their heads. With drums beating the advance in massed formation up the slopes of Mont Saint Jean to meet Wellington's army. Here they were surprised by the Highlanders and became involved in a fierce melee. This was only broken as the French heavy cavalry charge by Wellington's Union Brigade. The 2leme retired as best it could. The regiment was later involved in the capture of the farmhouse of La Haye Saint but never fully recovered from this onslaught. Following the arrival of the Prussians and defeat of the Old Guard the day was lost. On the 28th the Regiment arrived at Paris with an effective strength of 18 officers and 206 men. The 21eme have continued active service over the years in Algeria, Italy, the Crimea, the Franco-Prussian War, the Great War and World War II. |

This going a ways back but the single person who in my opinion left the greatest mark on the NA community is 5arge of the 1stEPI.
When I began playing back in Mount and Musket there was only one NA linebattle a week. It was hosted by 5arge and the 1stEPI. It was public so anybody could show up and applications weren't needed. The community was small enough back then that every active regiment could fit onto one 250 player server.
Through his dedication to his event and inclusive policies, he allowed many new regiments to flourish and become established, including my own.
If 5arge and the 1stEPI did not host this battle with the same emphasis on discipline and respect, the culture of the NA community would be very different today.
While be became less active with the release of NW, wasn't active on the forums, and never lead a regiment, I feel 5arge did more to foster and build the NA community than any player on that list including myself.
