Some Line spots open on our New Scenario tomorrow - Albuera 1811!

Next up - Battle of Albuera (1811) 10/05/2023 Teams & Scenario details Updated! While Wellington is engaged with Marshal Massena at Fuentes de Oñoro, Marshal Beresford lays siege to the fortified border city of Badajoz in the south, with support from Spanish General Blake. In early May 1811, Marshal Soult marches north from Seville with his Army of Andalusia, to relieve the French garrison at Badajoz. Beresford and Blake agree to confront Soult at Albuera, a defensive ridge position. Soult presses his march with all speed, intending to catch Beresford before he can concentrate his troops to oppose him. On 15th May 1811, Beresford issues his orders for the army to concentrate on the Albuera position, Spanish troops arriving on the morning of the 16th, just as Marshal Soult prepares his attack... The 33rd Regiment of Foot is proud to Host our Historical Event, taking place once per month at 7:00UK lasting until 8:00UK. Events will present a different scenario each week, consisting of 4 Rounds across various custom maps and include predominantly Flag-Spawning rounds. Sign ups will be made on this forum however the final confirmation of attendance and the giving out of the password will be handled on steam, therefore it is essential that you Add [33rd]Kincaid on Steam! Waiting List:

Event Stages: Stage 1 | Diversionary Attack Classes - Line, Cavalry Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0. Beresford places his army on the ridge, expecting to receive a frontal assault across the river and through the village of Albuera. Soult begins the Battle with a diversionary action across the bridges, engaging Alten's brigade on the morning of the 16th. Soult hopes to draw more troops to this sector, making way for his flanking attack to the south... Allies France 10 | 45th (Hussars) 10 | 1BIR (33rd) 15 | 1stEB (KGL) 15 | Legion (42nd) 15 | 92nd (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (51st)                                     Total: (65) 10 | 33rd (Hussars) 10 | 17e (45e) 20 | 33rd (84e) 15 | 18pp (Legion) 15 | 115e (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (15e)                                     Total: (70) [close] Stage 2 | Spanish hold the Line Classes - Line Admin Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0 like usual but with admin commands. All regiments take the same class and will spawn on a single flag bearer. By late morning the diversionary attack on Albuera is having the affect Soult intends, with Beresford drawing on his reserves to bolster the village. Generals Gazan and Girard's divisions now emerge from behind high ground to the south, outflanking the allied position across the river. General Zayas' spanish troops occupy the crucial high ground above the river alone, to hold the line until British troops can be re-positioned to support them... Allies France 10 | 45th (42nd) 10 | 1BIR (42nd) 15 | 1stEB (42nd) 15 | Legion (42nd) 15 | 92nd (42nd) 00 | SPACE (42nd)                                     Total: (65) 10 | 17e (84e) 20 | 33rd (84e) 15 | 18pp (84e) 15 | 115e (84e) 00 | SPACE (84e)                                     Total: (70) [close] Stage 3 | 2nd Division advance Classes - Lines, Cavalry Admin Battle Round - Normal Battle but follow admin commands. Zayas' Spaniards hold their ground well, stalling the French column attack and trading volleys for an hour and a half. 2nd Division having arrived to support rush eagerly to take advantage of the stalemate, even as rain begins to fall preventing the troops from firing effectively. Colborne wheels from the right flank to enfilade the French attack, unaware of the large French cavalry precence hidden in dead ground to the south... Allies France 10 | 45th (33rd) 10 | 1BIR (33rd) 15 | 1stEB (33rd) 15 | Legion (33rd) 15 | 92nd (33rd) 15 | 18pp (33rd) 00 | SPACE (33rd)                                     Total: (65) 30 | 33rd (Hussars) 10 | 17e (Hussars) 15 | 18pp (Hussars) 15 | 115e (Hussars) 00 | SPACE (15e)                                     Total: (70) [close] Stage 4 | Cole's Attack Classes - Lines, Lights Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0. Additional French Cavalry but reduced Infantry. Colborne's Brigade is all but destoryed by cavalry, losing 5 standards. The Spanish divisions atop the heights also begin to break and run. Fortunately for the Allies more British divisions gradually arrive from the centre to shore up the line. The resulting exchange of fire lasts for hours with neither side giving an inch, inflicting awful casualties upon both sides. At this crucial point in the battle Cole arrives with his division from the road to Badajoz, sending his mix of British and Portuguese troops against the French left. Will this be enough to break the stalemate and drive the Soult's army from the field... Allies France 10 | 45th (Hussars) 10 | 1BIR (33rd) 15 | 1stEB (KGL) 15 | Legion (42nd) 15 | 92nd (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (51st)                                     Total: (65) 30 | 33rd (Hussars) 10 | 17e (45e) 15 | 18pp (Legion) 15 | 115e (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (15e)                                     Total: (70) [close] Battle in the Morning... Battle after midday...

Next up - To be Confirmed 07/06/2023 Teams & Scenario details Updated! Sir John Moore is on the last leg of his retreat through Northern Spain to La Coruna in apalling Winter conditions; discpline in his ravaged army hangs by a thread as they press on to the coastal port and hopefully rescue by the Royal Navy. Marshal Soult is hard on his heels, chasing down stragglers as they break free of the mountains. Moore turns to face him at Coruna to buy time to extricate his army to fight another day...

Waiting List:

Event Stages: Stage 1 | Pursuit at Bentazos Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning round - UK reach the goal at the end of the road or reduce enemy tickets to 0. France prevent UK from reaching the goal in 10mins or reduce enemy tickets to 0. Shortly after the delaying action at the bridge crossing of Cacabellos the British are able to escape the mountainous terrain, only a stones throw from the safety and supplies of Coruna. Unfortunately due to the prolonged arduous retreat, stragglers from the main force have grown to the thousands; they must band together as they make their way north to avoid sabres of the pursuning French cavalry... Allies France 10 | 1BIR (33rd) 10 | 1stEB (KGL) 20 | LG (42nd) 15 | 92nd (Footguard) 10 | Legion (51st) 00 | SPACE (Dragoons) 00 | SPACE (Horseguards)                                     Total: (65) 30 | 33rd (Hussars) 10 | 1er (Carabiniers) 10 | 18pp (Carabiniers) 15 | 115e (Grenadier A'Cheval) 10 | 17pp (Grenadier A'Cheval)                                     Total: (75) [close] Stage 2 | Coruna, Mermet's Offensive Classes - Line Flag-Spawning round, Admin controlled to start (see screenshot in groupchat) - a few mins in continue with normal Round. Moore's army reaches the safety of Coruna but the transports have not yet arrived. Within a few days the Navy begins to arrive but so does Soult's pursing force; Moore deploys his Infantry atop an opposing ridge but orders his artillery and cavalry to embark, not expecting an attack as the day draws on. Soult however chooses to attack at midday, ordering Mermet's division to attack the village of Elvina. The allied picket retreats but Moore rallies the 42nd and 50th foot to retake the key position... Allies France 10 | 1BIR (33rd) 10 | 1stEB (KGL) 20 | LG (42nd) 15 | 92nd (Footguard) 10 | Legion (51st) 00 | SPACE (Dragoons) 00 | SPACE (Horseguards)                                     Total: (65) 10 | 1er (45e) 30 | 33rd (84e) 10 | 18pp (Legion) 15 | 115e (Footguard) 10 | 17pp (15e) 00 | SPACE (Dragoons) 00 | SPACE (Cuirassiers)                                     Total: (75) [close] Stage 3 | Coruna, Paget's Skirmish Classes - Skirmishers Battle round, Admin controlled to start. Skirmisher rules apply to all units. Mermet's offensive in the centre starts to gain traction as they begin to encircle the position around the British right flank. Paget's Light division is brought from the reserve however to shore up the flank and face off against Lahoussaye's dragoons, having to fight on foot as skirmishers due to the dense woodland... Allies France 10 | 1BIR (95th) 10 | 1stEB (95th) 20 | LG (95th) 15 | 92nd (95th) 10 | Legion (95th) 00 | SPACE (95th) 00 | SPACE (95th)                                     Total: (65) 10 | 1er (Lancer) 30 | 33rd (Lancer) 10 | 18pp (Lancer) 15 | 115e (Lancer) 10 | 17pp (Lancer) 00 | SPACE (Lancer) 00 | SPACE (Lancer)                                     Total: (75) [close] Stage 4 | Coruna, holding the line Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning round Paget drives of Lahoussaye's dragoons to shore up the British right but Mermet and DeLaborde's Infantry still hard press the centre supported by artillery. Steadfast discipline will be needed for the British Line to hold out until nightfall...

Superb event yesterday at around 50v50, RP elements of rounds worked pretty seamlessly and the escape/evade round with the British Infantry and French cavalry was a close one which we don't always see! Had a couple of line no-shows but we are still looking for a few lines to flesh this event out, next event will be on July 5th!

[33rdKincaid]

Historical Event this Wednesday, scenario will be updated shortly but we will be playing Austerlitz 1805! We have Line and a Cavalry spot available.

[33rdKincaid]

Historical Event tonight and will be playing Eylau 1807! We have Line and a Cavalry spot available for any who wish to join, see details below!

Next up - Eylau 1807 02/08/2023 Teams & Scenario details Updated! In late 1806 The Grande armee settled in for winter quarters in occupied Poland, after dealing a severe blow to the Prussian forces at Jena/Auerstadt. The new Campaign in 1807 however began early in January, with the Russians under Bennigsen attempting to turn the French left wing; after some manoeuvring however the multitude of French corps force the combined Prussian and Russian forces to withdraw to the North East. In early February with all his forces finally concentrated, Benngisen decides to make a stand at the town of Eylau. Napoleon confidently pursues on all fronts, with his army corps spread out - potentially too far to support each other. This later develops into the ultimate decider for one of the bloodiest of battles of the Napoleonic Wars... The 33rd Regiment of Foot is proud to Host our Historical Event, taking place once per month at 7:00UK lasting until 8:00UK.

Waiting List:

Event Stages: Stage 1 | Augerau's Offensive Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning Battle round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0. On the morning of the 8th both armies draw themselves up to give battle on opposite ridges, the town of Eylau under French occupation in the centre. The French army is in a vulnerable position, with two of its corps yet to make an appearance on the field and the allies having the numerical advantage. Napoleon regardless seizes the initiative and orders Augerau’s corps out of Eylau to attack the Russian centre, hoping to occupy the enemy long enough for Davout’s corps to arrive on the field. A storm which would be present most of the day shrouds the Russians as the French march blindly towards their positions... Allies France 00 | SPACE (Hussars) 10 | 1BIR (Line Militia) 10 | 1stEB (Simbersky) 20 | LG (Pavlovsky) 10 | 24th (Footguard) 10 | HLI  (Dragoons)                                     Total: (60) 10 | 33rd (Hussars) 15 | [CEL]1er (45e) 10 | [AF]1er (84e) 15 | 33rd (Legion) 15 | 115e (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (15e) 00 | SPACE (Dragoons)                                     Total: (65) [close] Stage 2 | Last Stand of the 14eme Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning round, Objective based - reduce enemy tickets to 0 like usual but France must defend the church yard Blinded by the snow storm, the various division of Augerau’s corps become scattered as they encounter the Russians, many falling back to Eylau before the onslaught of Russian artillery and musketry. One Regiment, the 14th Line stand firm bravely but as regiments either side begin to retreat the 14th find themselves surrounded. To protect themselves as best they can the infantry forms square and prepare to fight to the last man – the 14eme do not Surrender... Allies France 10 | 33rd (Hussars) 00 | SPACE (Cuirassiers) 10 | 1BIR (Line Militia) 10 | 1stEB (Simbersky) 20 | LG (Pavlovsky) 10 | 24th (Footguard) 10 | HLI  (Dragoons)                                     Total: (70) 15 | [CEL]1er (45e) 10 | [AF]1er (84e) 15 | 33rd (Legion) 15 | 115e (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (15e) 00 | SPACE (Dragoons)                                     Total: (55) [close] Stage 3 | Attack on Eylau Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning Siege round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0 like usual but on a fortified map, each team should try and secure key defenses from which to have an advantage over their opposition. FiC and RiC permitted. Each regiment can have 1 sapper. With Augerau’s attack stalled his men are thrown back with heavy casualties, retreating to Eylau. The Russians under Bennigsen waste no time in taking advantage of the situation and launch a counter attack against the frail French center sheltering at Eylau. Napoleon historically commits his Old Guard to hold the town at all costs... Allies France 00 | SPACE (Hussars) 10 | 1BIR (Line Militia) 10 | 1stEB (Simbersky) 20 | LG (Pavlovsky) 10 | 24th (Footguard) 10 | HLI  (Dragoons)                                     Total: (60) 10 | 33rd (Hussars) 15 | [CEL]1er (45e) 10 | [AF]1er (84e) 15 | 33rd (Legion) 15 | 115e (Footguard) 00 | SPACE (15e) 00 | SPACE (Dragoons)                                     Total: (65) [close] Stage 4 | Murat's Cavalry Charge Classes - Line, Cavarly Admin controlled Normal Battle round, Russia form 2 ranks along the road and France await direction by an admin. With the French centre now as frail as ever and Ney’s corps not yet arrived, the situation for Napoleon looks dire indeed. It is at this point that a fresh Prussian corps now arrives on the field to support the Russian troops, leaving the fate of the battle in little doubt. However Napoleon now famously commits his final reserve; 11,000 cavalry under Marshal Murat to hammer the allied centre hard and buy him time for Ney and Davout’s corps to deploy on the field. Will the best cavalry France has to offer, seated on the best steeds in Europe be enough to stall the overwhelming allied forces...

Next up - Prussian Campaign 1806 30/08/2023 Teams & Scenario details Updated! Napoleon's campaign against the Prussians in 1806 represented the first half of the war of the fourth coalition, formed against France shortly after the third coalitions' defeat at Austerlitz in 1805. Prussia eagerly declares war before either of its coalition partners has time to come to their aid, so in October Napoleon launches the Grande Armee across the Saxon border towards Berlin. Due to the haste of the invasion, intelligence on the Prussian army whereabouts is scarce; The French advance with all their corps within a days march of each other, to seek out the enemy and defeat in detail. The Prussian army is of a significant size but is plagued by outdated organisation and aging commanders, how will the legacy of Fredrick the Great stand up to the modernised Grande Armee...

Event Stages: Stage 1 | Saalfeld Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning Battle round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0. After an initial clash at Schleiz on October 9th, French and Prussian troops under Marshal Lannes and Prince Louis Ferdinand meet at Saaleld on October 10th. Confusing orders from his commander have caused the Prince to deploy with his back to the river Saale, believing the greater Prussian army will be maneuvering in his direction and support him if he is engaged. Marshal Lannes swiftly takes advantage of the relatively minor force occupying the ground and attacks the enemy positions from all sides... Prussia France 10 | 23rd (Hussars) 10 | 1BIR (1st Infantry) 10 | 24th (2nd Infantry) 10 | 1stEB (3rd Infantry) 10 | 23rd (4th Infantry) 20 | LG (Footguard) 10 | HLI  (Dragoons)                                     Total: (80) 10 | 33rd (Hussars) 15 | [AF]1er (1st Infantry) 15 | 33rd (2nd Infantry) 10 | 4eMG (3rd Infantry) 10 | 115e (Footguard) 10 | [CEL]1er (4th Infantry) 10 | TC (Dragoons)                                     Total: (80) [close] Stage 2 | The Charge of Prince Louis Classes - Cavalry Admin controlled Battle Round - both teams wait at spawn to be directed by the admins Just hours into the engagement it is clear to Prince Louis that he is not only soon to be encircled but that there is no support nearby to assist him. With his cavalry still fresh he orders a withdrawal and orders a charge against the enemy centre, leading his men personally. French cavalry meet them on the plain... Prussia France 20 | 23rd (Hussars) 10 | 1BIR (Hussars) 10 | 24th (Hussars) 10 | 1stEB (Hussars) 10 | LG (Hussars) 10 | HLI  (Hussars)                                     Total: (80) 25 | 33rd (Hussars) 15 | [AF]1er (Hussars) 10 | 4eMG (Hussars) 10 | 115e (Hussars) 10 | [CEL]1er (Hussars) 10 | TC (Hussars)                                     Total: (80) [close] Stage 3 | Jena Classes - Line, Cavalry Flag-Spawning Battle round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0. France must play defensively as they have no cavalry support. On the 14th October the battle of Jena begins to slowly take shape, with the French seemingly at a great majority in numbers. With his flanks secured, Napoleon slowly moves his divisions across the river Saale and into his center. Ney however has his troops in position early and attacks the Prussian line prematurely, quickly finding himself isolated without support. The Prussians waste no time taking advantage of his plight, enveloping his division on all sides. Ney orders his entire division into a rough square and chooses to defend a junction on the road to Jena...

FiC and RiC permitted. Each regiment can have 1 sapper. As the battle at Jena rages Marshal Davout's 3rd corps advances in the direction of Auerstadt to the north, unaware that they are about to engage the bulk of the Prussian army alone. After a short skirmish and the arrival of a further Prussian division under marshal Blucher, the french troops retreat to defend the village of HassenHausen; it's low walls and buildings will have to serve as an effective defence against the overwhelming Prussian forces massing to attack...

Britain France 25 | 33rd (1st Infantry) 10 | 24th (2nd Infantry) 10 | 1stEB (3rd Infantry) 10 | [CEL]1er (Footguard) 15 | 115e (Light Infantry) 10 | HLI  (Dragoons)                                     Total: (80) 15 | [AF]1er (1st Infantry) 20 | 23rd (2nd Infantry) 10 | Nr21 (3rd Infantry) 15 | 54th (Footguard) 10 | 1BIR (Light Infantry) 10 | TC (Dragoons)                                     Total: (80) [close] Stage 2 | Alexandria, first offensive Classes - Lines, Lights, Cavalry Flag-Spawning round, Admin Controlled to start, then reduce enemy tickets to 0. Having successfully landed, the British press on towards Alexandria. The French however seize the initiative and commence their own attack in one final pitched battle, the offensive hitting home in the early hours of 21st March. A confused fight ensues in the darkness as the French offensive primarily engages the British center in force, attempting to drive a wedge here and sever the British line in two. The British pickets are pushed unexpectedly at 3am as the French offensive begins...

The initial french attack in the centre is met with some early success in the darkness, with one french division passing straight through the British line towards the old roman ruins to the rear; the 42nd highland regiment stands alone to defend the ruins and prevent the French from rolling up the British line entirely...

High flag capture cost so capturing these should be a French priority (2 UK flags). French cavalry choose your class but bear in mind that if you share it with another regiment you must wait for all of the class to die before you will respawn. With the battle in the ruins to the rear still raging, the British right flank finds itself momentarily cut-off from the rest of the British line and threatened from both front and rear; the 28th Foot, strung out in a two rank-deep line, famously give the order for the front rank to stay as they are and the rear to about face! The regiment fights back-to-back for its very survival as the French relentlessly engage their position...

With or without the capture of these fortresses, there are still sizeable French army corps mustering in Spain which will need to be engaged with care.

Upon reaching Salamanca the two armies shadow each others movements along the river Tormes, marching in parallel. Marshal Marmont attempts to turn Wellingtons flank, marching South and then west on July 22nd. Initially planning to mirror the French movements and retreat to Portugal, Wellington takes pause as he observes the large gaps developing in Marmoments army along his line of March. Deciding not to waste the opportunity he throws his army on to the offensive, starting by sending his 3rd division to smash Tomierre's divison who are leading the French armies column of march...
