Historically The Nation of Saxony throughout the Napoleonic Wars fought both with and against France. In the early stages, Saxony had went to war with Napoleon with their neighbor Prussia; however, further down the line the Saxons would side with France as part of the Confederation of the Rhine (or the Rheinbund). Following the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, Saxony rose to the title of a full Kingdon, the Königreich Sachsen. The Kingdom of Saxony was similar in size and population to the newly-formed Kingdom of Westphalia, but its military- which had been a standing organization for many years- was much more organized, experienced, and disciplined. Historian John Elting wrote of the Saxons that "Saxon Cavalry was among the the finest in Europe, and the Infantry was usually reliable." In addition the King of Saxony, Frederick Augustus, was described by Napoleon as "The most honest man to ever hold a royal sceptre." After the disastrous Russian Campaign and the Wars of Liberation (Leipzig, etc.), Saxony was treated harshly by the Allies, annexing much of its land. | ![]() |
![]() | in MM/NW The Saxon Army of NW is much different than the traditional Armies of the community. As opposed to being an loose organization of regiments that come together, the Saxon Army is the latest iteration of the 16th Kampfgruppe which holds its founding all the way back to December of 2010. We have been a close community for almost five years now, and as such this Army is a representation of that, a centralized and close-knit community of gamers. Members are expected to maintain activity in the community, and add to it. We recruit members on the principle that they are joining a long-term community, and not a simple NW regiment. Recruits who do not want to add anything to the community, and would rather hop on once a week to reap the reward of a linebattle will be turned away. |
