Nr.14 ‘Erzhezog Rudolf’
Basic Information
Spoiler
The Nr.14 was formed on the 24th of March, 2015. We strive to be an active regiment in which its members are able to enjoy themselves. We want our members to attend events maximally, however we understand that real life comes first and that not everyone will be able to attend all events. We also strive for a decent standard of historical accuracy. We do this by requiring our members to create their in-game-names with a historically accurate German name.
