           ♕ Honi soit qui mal y pense ♕ Evil be to him who evil thinks ♕

To the surprise of absolutely no one, we are back once more to attend some NW events again. Even though we consist of a lot of veterans, the 1stFG is still welcoming new blood to our ranks who seek a friendly community and are willing to improve in the game. The 1stFG is a semi-competitive regiment with a good mix between both casual, fun events and competitive events/tournaments. We are trying to have a relaxed and friendly atmosphere while still keeping an professional attitude.

The Peninsular War 1808-1814 At the beginning of the 19th century, Britain was busy preparing for Napoleon's invasion, but after Trafalgar the government felt confident enough to send a force to occupy Sicily in 1805. This force included the 1st Guards Brigade (1st and 3rd Battalions 1st Guards). But in 1808 there was more important work to be done. The Brigade, part of a 13,000 strong force, was sent to the Peninsula to reinforce Wellesley's army which had successfully driven the French from Portugal. They landed at Corunna and marched inland to join up with Sir John Moore's 20,000. They then moved north to fight Soult's army beyond Valladolid but on Christmas day news arrived that Napoleon himself was leading a superior force to cut them off from their base at Corunna. Moore had no choice but to retreat to Corunna and save the Army. Corunna 1808 The story of the retreat to Corunna is a harrowing one. It was the middle of winter and they had to cross mountainous terrain with little food and tattered clothing. The trek took nearly three weeks and there were successful rearguard actions by the cavalry. The two battalions of Guards arrived at the port, apparently marching in step behind their corps of drums, setting a fine example to the rest of the army and helping to raise morale. A few days later the battle of Corunna started when the French took advantage of the late arrival of the British fleet, and attacked. Soult's men were strongly resisted and eventually retired but not before Moore was fatally wounded on 17th January 1809. Walcheren 1809 The 1st Guards only had a few months to recover from their exertions in Spain. By late summer they were packed off on the ill-fated expedition to the Dutch island of Walcheren with the objective of capturing Antwerp. The attack failed and the whole army was struck down with a terrible fever. The expedition was abandoned and they returned home. Barrosa 1811 The 1st Guards returned to Spain in 1810 where they found themselves besieged in Cadiz. The composite brigade was commanded by Major-General Dilkes of the 3rd Guards. There were 6 companies of the 2nd Battalion and 3 companies each from the other two Guards regiments. On the 5th March 1811 they, with some Spanish troops, were sent up the coast to attack Victor's army. They were separated from the Spanish so had to fight two French Divisions alone. They had just completed a 15 hour march but managed to defeat a force of cavalry and infantry from a strong defensive position. The attack was headed by the 1st Guards and cost them a third of their number after an hour and a half of bitter fighting. When the two year siege of Cadiz was lifted the Brigade made their way to join a further influx of Guards who were wintering at Cuidad Rodrigo. They were the 1st Battalion of the 1st Guards. Wellesley, now the Duke of Wellington was in command of the army and formed two Guards Brigades: 1st Brigade under Maj-Gen Howard of the Coldstream Guards to consist of 1st and 3rd Battalion 1st Guards and the composite battalion of Coldstream and 3rd Guards. 2nd Brigade under Maj-Gen the Hon E Stopford of the 3rd Guards, to consist of the 1st Battalions of the Coldstream and 3rd Guards. The army moved north to drive the French from Spain. There was a 3 month delay while they besieged San Sebastian.

Waterloo 1815 Napoleon's last hundred days brought about the most famous battle in European history. When he escaped from Elba on 26th February and entered Paris on 20th March, he was able to raise an army of 123,000. Wellington had to work fast to raise enough seasoned troops to stop him but he was disappointed with the men available. There were not enough 1st battalions from the infantry regiments. His final tally of 106,000 was made up of Belgian, Dutch and German allies as well as the British troops. The British infantry that fought at Waterloo numbered 17,000. Of these, 3,836 were Foot Guards. The Guards were organised in two brigades in the 1st Division. The 1st Brigade was made up of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Guards, and the 2nd Brigade consisted of Coldstreamers and Scots Guards. Major-General Peregrine Maitland commanded the 1st Guards Brigade whose strength was: 2/1st Guards, 29 officers and 752 men, and 3/1st Guards, 29 officers and 818 men. Each battalion had about 40 sergeants and 20 drummers. Quatre Bras, 16th June It was on the evening of the Duchess of Richmond's ball, 15th June, that Wellington discovered that Napoleon had 'humbugged' him. The army had to be mobilised that night so nobody had much sleep. The Guards were camped at Enghien and received the order at 0130 hrs. They marched out at 0400 and were force-marched all day in hot weather. At 1700hrs, as the 1st Guards arrived at Quatre Bras they were thrown in to the battle and drove the French back out of a thick wood. They suffered heavy casualties. The two 1st Guards battalions lost 3 officers, killed and 43 other ranks. Wounded: 10 officers and 491 other ranks. 17th June The allies retained control of Quatre Bras but Blucher's Prussians had been hit hard at Ligny and forced to withdraw. The following day was spent withdrawing to Mont St Jean. There was a cavalry battle at Genappe but the Foot Guards were not involved. The heavy rain started at midday and continued through the night. The Light Companies of both Guards Brigades, under Lord Saltoun, were ordered to secure the Chateau of Hougoumont while the rest of the Guards took up positions behind Hougoumont.

Battle of Waterloo 18th June The actual battle of Waterloo was fought between 72,000 of Napoleon's French troops and 68,000 allied troops under Wellington. Blucher's Prussian army did not arrive until it was almost all over. Hougoumont Lord Saltoun commanded the two Light Companies of the 1st Guards who were ordered to hold the garden and orchard of the chateau while the other two Light Companies of the Coldstream and Scots Guards were commanded by Lt-Col James Macdonnell, responsible for the buildings. The night had been spent by all of these men busily fortifying the buildings ready for an attack early on the 18th. But Napoleon delayed his advance on the allies so the first attack did not happen until 1100 hrs. The 1st Guards held the orchard but the brunt of the attack was taken by the Coldstream and Scots Guards who fought with great heroism all afternoon. The Imperial Guard The Guards were again in the thick of the battle at the climactic confrontation with the famed Grenadiers of Napoleon's Imperial Guard. Marshal Ney led the assault which began with a French artillery barrage. Wellington ordered his men to lie down on the reverse slope to reduce casualties. Some of the 1st Guards even managed to snatch some sleep as the shot whistled overhead. At 1930hrs the advance began. There were 6,000 Grenadiers, seasoned veterans, moving in two massive columns on a frontage of 70 men shoulder to shoulder. One column was heading towards the 1st Guards who numbered around 1,000. They lay out of sight but could hear the sound of thousands of marching feet and roars of 'Vive l'Empereur'. When they were 40 paces away, Wellington shouted 'Now Maitland. Now's your time!' When the Guards sprang to their feet they were in four ranks. The front rank opened fire, killing 300 Frenchmen. The other ranks repeated this, combined with a barrage of grapeshot from the artillery, the Imperial Guard wavered and tried to fall back. Then Lord Saltoun led a charge of the 1st Guards which routed their French counterparts. The 'invincible' Imperial Guard was routed. The cry went up throughout the French army that the Guard were retreating. The whole of the British force swept forward and drove the enemy back across the valley and up the opposite slope. Cavalry and infantry, tired as they were pursued them off the field of battle. Even the weary Guards from Hougoumont joined in. The casualty figures for the 1st Guards Brigade on the 18th June were, 4 officers and 131 other ranks killed, 11 officers and 346 other ranks wounded.

Regiments / Re: 45th Nottinghamshire Regiment of Foot. Recruiting Since 2016. 5 Year Anniversary

« on: December 24, 2021, 12:08:07 am »

The Gordon Highlanders is a regiment that enforces discipline, maturity and creativity in an enjoyable way. We are also always ready to apply new tactics and ideas of our members, regardless of their rank, in order to help us improve as a regiment. Our regiment also offers different companies. For those who wishes to be a little more competitive can apply for a trial period to join the Grenadier Company for example. When it comes to rules, every member is expected to possess common politeness meaning no racism, chauvinism or any other “Ism”. We strongly discourage political discussions since it can only lead to pretty much pointless arguments from which our team unity will suffer, though it is not forbidden. If you share our ideas (mentioned above) on what a regiment should be like, if you enjoy the highlander kilts and would like a taste of what it was to be a fearsome bydander, then the 92nd Gordon Highlanders is a perfect regiment for you. Whether you are a grizzled veteran of NW or a beginner you are most welcome to join us. In order to enlist, please visit our website www.92ndregiment.eu. We are all very eager to meet you!

The first five years of the regiment's service were spent on garrison duties at Gibraltar, Corsica and Elba, and they fought in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. In the summer of 1799, the regiment returned from Ireland to prepare for the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland, which aimed to overthrow the Batavian Republic, a client republic of the French Directory in the War of the Second Coalition. At around that time, the regiment was renumbered from the 100th to the 92nd Regiment of Foot. Landing on the Dutch coast on 27 August, and on the same day were present at, but did not participate in the Battle of Callantsoog. However, they distinguished themselves on 2 October at the Battle of Alkmaar, known to the British as "Egmont op Zee". In May 1800, they sailed to Minorca, and then on to Egypt where they landed at Abukir. Here they again fought with distinction at the Battle of Mandora on 13 March 1801. It was a preliminary action before the Battle of Alexandria eight days later on 21 March. That morning, the 92nd had been ordered to return to Abukir, having now only 150 effective men, because of illness and casualties sustained on the 13th. However, on hearing the sound of firing, the Highlanders saw the commander-in-chief, Sir Ralph Abercrombie, passing on his horse and called out to be allowed to return to the line of battle, to which he gave his assent. After returning home, a second battalion was raised, which served as a reinforcement pool for the first. The regiment took part in the Battle of Køge at Copenhagen in 1807, went to Portugal and fought at the Battle of Corunna and then joined the disastrous Walcheren Campaign, after which only 300 of 1,000 men were fit for service. In September 1810, the regiment returned to Portugal where they joined the Duke of Wellington's army for the remainder of the Peninsular War. The 92nd had reached Toulon when peace was declared in 1814 and they sailed for Ireland. On 1 May 1815, the regiment again embarked for the continent, to take part in the Hundred Days campaign. The 92nd had a leading role in the Battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June, where it was one of the regiments defending the disputed crossroads and later halted a French attack with a bayonet charge. Two days later. the regiment were in action again at the Battle of Waterloo, although by now reduced to only about 250 men. At an early stage, Napoleon's troops attacked the left of the Allied line, and the 92nd were ordered to charge the leading French column. Upon the approach of the Highlanders, the head of the French column broke in disorder and could only be caught by the horses of the Scots Greys, who passed through the 92nd to get at them. According to some accounts, some of the Highlanders clung to the stirrups of the passing Greys so that they could reach the French, although this is often dismissed as mere legend. However, the testimony of Corporal Dickson of "F" Troop of the Scots Greys, says; "They were all Gordons, and as we passed through them they shouted 'Go at them the Greys! Scotland for ever!' My blood thrilled at this and I clutched my sabre tighter. Many of them grasped our stirrups and in the fiercest excitement, dashed with us into the fight." The 92nd's casualties at Waterloo were 20 killed and 99 wounded of all ranks. After the battle, the regiment marched to Paris, finally arriving in Edinburgh on 7 September 1816, where they were cheered by a large crowd. The Gordon Highlanders was renowned as a courageous fighting regiment, but also enjoyed a reputation for good conduct and all round ability. This was based in a particular approach to soldiering, a professional attitude individually and collectively where steadiness and teamwork were as important as extraordinary courage, sustained by a healthy pride in the Regiment and its achievements.

• Egmont-Op-Zee • • Mandora • • Spain • • Corunna • • Fuentes D'Onor • • Almaraz • • Vittoria • • Pyrenees • • Nive • • Orthes • • Peninsula • • Waterloo •

The regiment was raised on 18-6-2017 as the '72nd "Duke of Albany's own" Regiment of Foot' by Colonel Wolffe and companions. The 72nd consisted of 2 companies, a Centre and an Artillery company. Events were only held on a modification of "Mount and Blade: Warband" called "Whigs and Tories". After the majority of the regiment and its members decided that they wanted to make the jump to NW we decided to rename the regiment to the infamous "92nd 'Gordon Highlanders' Regiment of Foot". We met with a lot of difficulties along the way, we lost a lot of staff due to different ideas and private matters, we also lost a good core of our members after we moved to NW. But some stayed true and build up the regiment again. We even raised a Light company in early 2018. The regiment has always stood for 3 things, Discipline, Skill and Fun. We stayed loyal to these 3 things and made sure that they were balanced. Our Regimental Motto: "Bydand" meaning "Steadfast" or "stand your ground" fitted us and our 3 values quite well. Disaster struck us again in mid/late 2018 after we had to disband both the Light and Artillery Company. We pushed through however and on 26 February 2019 we re-raised the Lights under the command of Vegi. We grew once again this time however we kept the attendance and old friends rejoined the regiment, turning it into the perfect place to have fun, learn about history and play games together. Through all the hard times and the good most Gordon Highlanders stayed true and loyal, this was the sole reason for the staff to keep the regiment up and running and turning her into a beast of a unit. We're always looking to expand the regiment and give out a good experience to those who join! So if you're interested in joining us make sure to apply on our website and join the 92nd Family today! BYDAND!

*** Here you can see which duties and tasks are attached to every rank. We want to show that every member is important within the regiment and should be respected equally as the CO's and NCO's. Just because there is a rank displayed in front of your name doesn't mean you are just a puppet. Personal opinions are valued and will always be considered as feedback to improve our social group. Different duties and tasks are handed out so every member can have his contribution towards the regiment. There are also different tasks and duties which are earned by being disciplined and active. Melee medals in all shapes and sizes are there to be earned as well.

ABOUT US HISTORY REGIMENTAL VICTORIES MUSTER ROLL

ABOUT US

His most Britannic Majesty's 45th Regiment of foot was raised on the 26th March 2016 by Vegetarian. It is a semi-serious competitive regiment that is English speaking and accepts all nationalities, Recruits have to attend one Line-battle and one training before becoming an official member of the regiment, so that you show you are dedicated enough to be active. The history of this regiment is as twisted and long as an olive branch with our first Colonel Vegetarian forming the regiment in 2016. The regiment changed hands multiple times until in 2017, Nova seized control of the regiment including both companies with the help of notable officers and NCOs, namely Flibbit, Maskman and Flasheart in a blood coup resulting in the disbandment of the Light Infantry. With the formation and dissolution of several companies such as cavalry and artillery, a successful merge with Mitchell's 10th in 2020 has guaranteed the 45th Nottinghamshire a place in the top five largest and best casual competitive regiments within the NW scene. Ever since, for three years straight the regiment has stayed a steady course towards great internal glory slowly becoming the power house it is today, a regiment with three separate companies hosting daily events being able to field a total 50-60 players at any given point.

The 45th Nottinghamshire is lead by Colonel Nova and boasts three detachments each with their own events which Nova oversees and leads. The 45th Nottinghamshire is well-rooted both in the casual and competitive scenes with the regiment hosting its own successful Thursday event as well as preforming very well in many regimental tournaments and leagues such as RGL, GLBT, RMT and Kincaids 2v2. The Regiment can be broken up into three separate detachments, The Centre Company is lead by Major Maskman and Lieutenant Mitchell. The Lights company is lead by Lieutenant Jack and finally the Grenadier company (Grens) lead by Ensign Jerome. For tournament and group fight matches only the very best from each company will be selected for attendance, the Grenadiers making up the backbone of the roster for competitive events.The regiment boasts an experienced cadre of NCOs who are invaluable in keeping good order in the line, such as Company Sergeant Major Valley and Lefty (Grens and Lights), Colour Serjeant Floris and Natty (Grens and Line), as well as many other junior NCOs often leading their respective companies on the ground whilst the officers and Battalion staff, tend to the regiment's administrative work. Special thanks to Flasheart, the most loved uncle of the regiment!

Our Goals in Napoleonic Wars The 45thN will mainly focus on participating in weekly-based line battles and sieges. The Regiment will mainly focus on improving their shooting and melee to compete in future 1v1s and 2v2s against other regiments. The 45thN is a very competitive regiment. We came 2nd in the 2nd division of GLBT. We do very often groupfighting events as well as tournaments. Trainings will also be organized throughout the week to get our members to their peak performance in the game. On the other hand, we will be jumping onto public servers to have a laugh and to enjoy ourselves, We want to accomplish in Napoleonic Wars to become a fun mature regiment to keep the entertainment at its highest peak! If you are interested in joining this regiment, please add one of our officers on Steam.

Recruit Guidebook The individuals of the regiment are constantly cheerful when a new member joins in. We will willingly welcome all those who show interest by joining the regiment.

HISTORY - NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, 45TH REGT OF FOOT

Early History The history of The Sherwood Foresters goes back to 1741, when England was committed to War against France in Europe and later in Asia and America. In this year a new Regiment was raised and commanded by a Colonel Houghton. By 1745 the Regiment was in Gibraltar and under the command of a Colonel Warburton, while two years later it was serving in Nova Scotia. In 1751 numerical titles were introduced and the Regiment became the 45th. The aggressive actions of the French against the English in Canada resulted in the 45th being called out on active service. It was one of the regiments that won undying fame in storming and capturing from the French the Naval Arsenal of Louisburg, a stronghold that had been heavily and extensively fortified. The 45th Regiment served for twenty years in Canada, and for its gallantry at Louisburg was later awarded the first of the long roll of battle honours that now adorn the Colours. Although not present as a unit, the 45th was represented by its grenadier company in the British force that the gallant Wolfe led up the St. Lawrence River to capture Quebec and thus seal the doom of French rule in Canada. The Regiment Returns Home On returning home the Regiment served for some years in Ireland and when the American War Of Independence broke out, was among the reinforcements sent to New York in 1776. It fought at Long Island, Philadelphia, Brandywine, Germantown, and in other places, suffering losses but always exhibiting a high degree of courage and fortitude. After the War, the 45th reduced to less than 100 all ranks, returned home to Nottingham. The citizens of Nottingham requested that the Regiment should be called "The Nottinghamshire Regiment" and His Majesty agreed, providing 300 men were recruited in the county. With volunteers from the Nottinghamshire Militia and the influence of local landowners, the stipulated number was soon obtained. Between 1786-1794 and 1795-1802, the 45th was in the West Indies almost constantly engaged in fighting the French for possession of those islands - Martinique, Dominica and Les Saints being captured. Unfortunately yellow fever took a far heavier toll of the Regiment than did the enemy. After a brief period at home the 45th was soon on active service again. The Regiment was despatched to South America in 1807, where it took part in the attack on Buenos Aires, when every man of the small British force had to fight for his life in the street fighting that followed the capture of the town. After this action the Regiment embarked for home.

The Peninsular War The following year the 45th Regiment became part of the Peninsular Army, under Sir Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington. The 45th was present at the opening battle, at Rolica in 1808, and served without a break in all Wellington's famous battles until the siege of Toulouse in 1814, winning no less than thirteen battle honours. The nickname, "The Old Stubborns", was bestowed on the regiment for its conspicuous bravery at the battle of Talavera. In that battle the French flung themselves in dense masses upon the advanced posts of the British Army, which were held by the 45th, who opposed the enemy with such firmness and courage that the enemy troops were first checked and then brought to a standstill. Retiring slowly, the 45th held up the enemy attack so completely that the entire sting was taken out of it, and the British were able to win a great victory. Wellington, describing the battle in his official report said: "Upon this occasion the steadiness and discipline of the 45th Regiment were conspicuous". In the Battle of Busaco, the 45th Regiment again distinguished itself leading the attack on a dense column of the enemy troops, which had reached the crest of the hill. The attack, made with the bayonet, was so fierce that the enemy was driven pell-mell down the slopes, leaving some hundreds on the ground killed and wounded. "1 can assure you 1 never witnessed a more gallant charge", wrote Wellington in his despatches. In the siege of Badajoz, a detachment of the 45th succeeded in getting into the Castle first and the red coat of an officer of the 45th was hoisted in place of the French flag to indicate the fall of the Castle. This feat is commemorated on the 6th April each year when red jackets are flown on Regimental flag staffs and at Nottingham Castle. Change in Title The secondary title 'The Sherwood Foresters' was granted to the 45th in 1866 by Queen Victoria; the Nottinghamshire Militia having previously been granted the title of "The Royal Sherwood Foresters" in 1813. In 1867, the 45th formed part of the British force that, under General Sir Robert Napier (afterwards Lord Napier of Magdala), fought in the Abyssinian campaign. This was one of the most remarkable exploits in the history of the British Army. Magdala, the capital, was a fortified city perched on the summit of a huge rock with almost perpendicular sides, and approachable on one side only. It was situated four hundred road less miles from the coast in the midst of a great range of mountains, over which the troops had to climb, and in some places had to haul their guns and limbers up by ropes. The 45th marched 300 miles in 24 days and actually covered 70 miles in 4 days over a mountain pass 10,000 feet high to be present at the capture of Magdala.
