When ever I play on NW_Official_EU_1, NW_Official_EU_2 and NW_Official_Event I constantly rubber band and it makes all of these servers are unplayable, has anyone experienced a similar problem and have a fix?

Union / Army Medical Corps [NA/EU][Recruiting]

« on: February 06, 2013, 05:19:48 pm »

By the end of the war, the U.S. Army had developed a well-organized medical corps comprising a system of levels of treatment starting at Regimental Dressing Stations where minor wounds were treated and triage was performed before transfer to Division hospitals.  Depending on the severity of the wounds, patients were transferred to Division and Corps Hospitals for surgery or treatment for disease.  Casualties requiring extended treatment were evacuated to theater based Army Depot Evacuation Hospitals or to larger Army General Hospitals. To make room for new casualties, many patients were furloughed back to their homes for recuperation or prolonged treatment in civilian General hospitals such as St. Mary’s and the Rochester City hospital.  The great majority of Civil War deaths were the result of disease rather than combat wounds. Union Colonel Thomas Reynolds lay in a hospital bed after the July 1864 Battle of Peachtree Creek, Georgia. Gathered around him, surgeons discussed the possibility of amputating his wounded leg. The Irish-born Reynolds, hoping to sway the debate toward a conservative decision, pointed out that his wasn't any old leg, but an 'imported leg.' Whether or not this indisputable claim influenced the doctors, Reynolds did get to keep his body intact. Compared to the many men who died because limbs should have been removed but weren't, Reynolds was lucky: he survived. 'I have no hesitation in saying that far more lives were lost in refusal to amputate than by amputation,' wrote William Williams Keen, a medical student with the military status of a West Point cadet. Like many Civil War medical workers, Keen learned his trade on the job, under extreme duress, as Civil War battles churned out thousands of wounded men. After treating casualties of the September 1862 Battle of Antietam, Maryland, Keen went to work in Philadelphia at the Turner's Lane Hospital, a facility famous for making discoveries about nerve injuries. Later he became professor of surgery at the city's Jefferson Medical College and a leader in American surgery.

In his Reminiscences (1905), he commented on the persistent practice of blaming Civil War surgeons for performing unnecessary amputations. Many other Civil War surgeons made the same point: amputations saved lives and failure to perform necessary ones sometimes resulted in fatal infections The image that surgery during the Civil War consisted of amputations, amputations, and more amputations, many done unnecessarily, developed early in the war. Soldiers' letters and hometown newspapers were filled with such accusations, and the notion stuck. True, more than 30,000 amputations were done on Union soldiers, and probably a similar number on Confederates, but most were necessary. British and American civilian surgeons who visited battlefield hospitals as observers and committed their opinions to paper agreed with Keen that Civil War surgeons were often too hesitant about amputating. Those experts felt that too few amputations were done, and that the accusations that surgeons were too quick too amputate led them to second-guess themselves, often incorrectly.

The introduction of anaesthesia in October 1846 allowed surgeons to operate more deliberately. But because infection almost always followed, very little surgery was done. Then came the Civil War and the need for an astounding number of operations to be performed by doctors without any prior surgical experience. Statistics for the Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the premier hospitals of the era, illustrate the state of surgery in the first half of the 19th century. Between 1836 and 1846, a total of 39 surgical procedures were performed at that hospital annually. In the first 10 years after the introduction of anaesthesia, 1847 through 1857, the annual average was 189 procedures, about 60 percent of which were amputations. Opening the abdomen or chest was rare. About two decades after the Civil War, the volume of surgery in civilian hospitals increased enormously with the introduction of antiseptic and, later, aseptic techniques. Between 1894 and 1904, for example, an average of 2,427 procedures were done annually at the Massachusetts General Hospital and, by 1914, more than 4,000.

How would you survive in prison?
I think I saw a similar post on TW forums and I thought I might bring it over here as well =)


Personally I think I would marry a huge prisoners and get them to protect me but I don't like to think of what they would want from me =/

Technical Support / Dodgy connection or loading in most servers?

« on: December 07, 2012, 07:28:35 pm »

Has anyone ever experienced a problem when you join a server the music plays and then you get immediately kicked to the loading screen this always happens to me the first couple of times I tried to join servers. I miss the start of most lb due to this and I was wondering if it is a common problem? Also if someone resets to quickly it crashed me and several members of my regiment is this bad admining or is there something wrong with our connections?

Historical Discussion / Officer Regimental and Brevet Ranks

« on: December 05, 2012, 10:40:15 pm »

Due to my interest in Napoleonic Wars ranks (don't ask me why i'm strange like that =P) I came across a book called British Napoleonic Uniforms while browsing the Armchair general website, on one of the pages it has an interesting but short section on Brevet ranks and ranks of regiment and local ranks. The first two I am familiar with and the last I've heard of, but i'm wondering if anyone had any better sources or had any examples etc to help me understand them.



Officer Regimental and Brevet Ranks
The section I am interested in says- There were three different forms of officer ranks. The first was the regimental rank; this defined the role in which the officer was normally employed by his regimental duties. The second was his brevet rank. often awarded for particular achievement and performance. An officer with brevet wore his higher rank but was still required to undertake the duties associated with his regimental rank. In the event he was detached to a different unit, or in the absence of a senior officer, he was permitted to act in his brevet rank. Both the regiment and brevet rank were published in the Army List. The third form of rank was local rank. This was usually awarded to an officer to ensure that he could outrank any other officer assigned under his command.

Thank you if you have any information on this and if you don't enjoy the read.

I will put any question here so everyone can read and address them:
1. I assumed Brevetting was only for Commissioned officer is this true? If NCO's can be brevetted can the be brevetted to an CO rank or are they restricted to NCO ranks.

Because of interest in 'What state are you from' thread I thought I would make one, for us in the United Kingdom.
