Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that lieutenant not a second lieutenant? Will players be able to choose between a first or 2nd lieutenant, or is it random?

It's a second lieutenant, trust me. Also yes, that would be the original concept, but since for now implementing customization is not a top priority, we will feature a fixed list of pre-made units for each regiment for the alpha build. Doesn't mean 20th Maine won't have any first lieutenants on this stage, remember this blog only featured the company level of the regimental structure.

If you mean a system where people can apply and join clans, then no. We will leave that to be handled by the players themself. We do not like limiting players freedom. If someone wants to form the 1013th Super Space Ranger Puppy Brigade, and play with the tag 1013th_SPRPB_ , they can do that.

Post by: Admiral on December 03, 2018, 03:20:23 pm

Like Olafson said, we're not regulating the clan structure, instead we're trying to set up a proper chain of command and coordination ingame. In NW regiments were represented by one specific type of company per each ( 45-e represented by fusilier company, 85-e by grenadier company for instance). Here we will try to represent regiments with multiple companies, which should make sence given that the game is supposed to feature more players.Unfortunately, CW is different from NW in a way that all the companies within CW batallions were supposed to be of the same type (even designated skirmish companies didn't have any special insignia and equipment, though the latter statement may be speculative), but tactically we can still have fun with that division. The understanding is that the average NW regiment in line battle would be between 15 and 30 players, and we will try and put several of such regiments in a position where they would benefit from cooperating with each other more closely. The concept is quite fresh, we will pretty much deliver test regiments in that shape for the alpha test and see how it goes and will the community like it and such.

Hi fellas...Have been watching your development of Battle Cry of Freedom...looking pretty good.  definitely interested.  As for the 20th Maine FYI, I just recently read an account from them after their stand on Little Round Top at Gettysburg and it was indicated to me that they were equipped with the 1858 Enfield rifle musket.  I can probably provide you a reference if needed.

Keep up the good work...anxiously waiting.

Post by: Olafson on December 13, 2018, 12:53:59 am
Hey thanks for the information. Yes we already knew that, which is why the Company C in the game and on the screenshot is carrying the Enfield. We gave them the burnished version, i.e. the version with the original black/blue protective coating removed, as the 20th Maine also carried the 1855 and 1861 Springfield. According to our information, it is very likely that most regiments that carried both Springfields and Enfields struck their Enflieds burnished, so that they would look more similar to the Springfield.

For the 20th Maine we actually have following information about the weaponry they carried in 1863. The different companies in the game will also actually carry the rifle they were issued with in reality.

Co. Regiment             No. Armament
A 20th Maine Infantry   38    Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577
B 20th Maine Infantry   4     Springfield Rifled Muskets, model 1855, 1861, N.A. and contract. Calibre .58
                                  36      Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577
C 20th Maine Infantry   36     Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577
D 20th Maine Infantry   22     Springfield Rifled Muskets, model 1855, 1861, N.A. and contract. Calibre .58
E 20th Maine Infantry N/A         N/A
F 20th Maine Infantry    4            Springfield Rifled Muskets, model 1855, 1861, N.A. and contract. Calibre .58
                                   35      Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577
G 20th Maine Infantry    40         Springfield Rifled Muskets, model 1855, 1861, N.A. and contract. Calibre .58
H 20th Maine Infantry    20            Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577
I 20th Maine Infantry     37          Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577
K 20th Maine Infantry   40      Enfield Rifled Muskets. Calibre .58 and .577

2 * First Manassas and new market

Spoiler
Within a week of the Virginia Convention's approving the Ordinance of Secession on April 17, 1861, and under Jackson's command, cadets entered Confederate service. They transferred to Camp Lee in Richmond, where they helped to train recruits in preparation for the First Battle of Manassas (1861). The forty-seven younger cadets who reluctantly remained in Lexington to protect the state armory and property were rejoined by the rest of the Cadet Corps in January 1862. Throughout the war, 614 young men between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one served as drillmasters and generally avoided active military service. Although the administration successfully kept VMI cadets exempt from conscription, older cadets often left school to enlist and graduations were accelerated. Cadets drilled and trained as many as fifty thousand Confederate soldiers.[


When a gap opened up in the center of his line, however, the Confederate general was forced to send in the approximately 250 cadets, commanded by Captain Scott Shipp. "May God forgive me," he said, as the cadets joined a Confederate charge. "About this time we passed a group of wounded soldiers who cheered us but a shell, intended for us, burst in their midst, and they fell silent," cadet Gideon Davenport later recalled. "Suddenly there was a crack in our front[,] a gap appeared in our ranks[,] and First Sergeant Cabell, Privates Wheelwright Crockett and Jones fell dead, and others were wounded … the line went forward in the best of order."/spoiler]

Modern military fashion is almost equal to committing warcrimes. Who ever the thought that wearing the chinstraps on their nose looked cool, or made sense? Equally their formations and everything just look like trash.

"Hey guys, you know what would be cool? Instead of holding our rifles straight and pressing our arms and hands against our body, to form as tight of a formation as possible, lets spread our arms out at all times and angle our guns so much that they are basically laying on our shoulders! That would look so fucking cool and make so much more sense!"

Modern military drill is not the same as say hardee's manual, nor should it be when you have rifles like the garand, L85, m14, etc. instead of muskets lol.

I think you guys are taking Nico's argument a little too serious. I'm guessing the biggest reason they won't be in the game is because they, like I said, were in just one battle as an undersized batallion. Their uniform was nothing special in the field anyway.

Not being able to properly wear a shako is just an extra reason to keep them out. The strap is supposed to go UNDER THE CHIN where it has ACTUAL USE keeping the shako in its place. Otherwise, it serves no purpose and should be removed or folded up, like the French do.

Lets clarify. American Zouaves make no sense, but French Zouaves are pretty cool. And the ones that directly adopted French uniforms are therefore also pretty cool. They are absolutely overreprsented in reenactment though and usually trash.

Because adding all possible ranks would be to much. We just chose one of the Lieutenants at random. We just need one, because the only reason for a Lieutenant to be there is to replace the Captain in case he is incapable of leading the company. Even if you wanted to break into platoons, you would still have a leader for each platoon. More sergeants or officers would just bloat up the company structure for no reason.

You might have noticed that the company is not having the correct composition of ranks that a company should have had in reality. This has three reasons. Firstly, it was not uncommon during the civil war, that a company would be reduced so much in size that many ranks were simply missing or no longer needed. Secondly, it would blow the scale of our game if we were to include every single rank that a regiment/company would have had.

We are aiming for 500, if that is possible we do not know just yet. We will do our best. Either way, we will not ship the game with less than 200.
