The 1er is a unit made up of veteran players from NW. We seek to bring a (nearly) historically accurate feel to the regiment and its players. We will use proper commands at all times. All men enlisted with this regiment will be sorted into companies etc. We will provide all members new and old with constant training and drilling in efficient tactics. As Grenadiers we will focus on being shock infantry, and an elite unit on every battlefield. Discipline will be a major part of this unit as it is a core value in maintaining a successful environment for a military based setting. Officers will always set examples for their men and do their best in all situations to come out victorious. We will also have many recruiting events as we hope to field 50 men per battle eventually.

The 1st Foot Grenadier Regiment of the Imperial Guard was an elite regiment of the Grand Army of the Napoleonic Wars. It is part of the Imperial Guard and it is one of only four true Old Guard units (along with the 1st Chasseurs à Pied, Chasseurs à Cheval and Grenadiers à Cheval). It is the oldest infantry regiment of the Grande Armée. The foot grenadiers of the Imperial Guard have their origins in the grenadiers of the Convention and the Guard of the Directory, which took part in the coup d'etat of Brumaire and were united in the Consular Guard on November 28, 1799. The strength of the grenadiers of the guard was then one regiment, divided into two battalions of six companies, each company numbering eighty grenadiers led by fourteen non-commissioned officers , two officers and two drummers; to the whole is added the staff of the regiment and a band of musicians. The grenadiers of the Consular Guard took part in the Italian campaign, where they served as a reserve for Bonaparte. At Marengo , their intervention stabilized the French line just as it was beginning to sag and enabled it to hold out until Desaix arrived.

September 8, 1801, the size of the regiment, then commanded by Colonel Hulin, was increased by increasing the number of companies per battalion from six to eight, each of which was also provided with two sappers. January 21, 1804, it is once again increased by the addition of a battalion of velites. After Bonaparte's accession to the imperial throne May 18, 1804, the consular guard changes its name and becomes the imperial guard.



Apart from the name, few things change for the grenadiers, except that the number of musicians increases to forty-six and the symbols change, the regiment notably receiving its eagle December 2, 1804. After Russia and Austria entered the war, the grenadiers of the Imperial Guard set off August 26, 1804 for Strasbourg where they joined the rest of the Grande Armée. Although they follow it throughout the German campaign, they remain in reserve at each battle and do not take part in any combat.

The grenadiers of the Old Guard in combat, recognizable thanks to the bear cap, characteristic of the elite regiments of the Guard (by Bellangé, around 1900).
April 2, 1806 the 2nd regiment of foot grenadiers of the Imperial Guard is created, the one already existing becoming in fact the 1st regiment. In addition, the regiment was provided with another battalion of velites, increasing its strength to four battalions. In the aftermath, the regiment leaves following the Emperor in the War of the Fourth Coalition , although, once again, it does not take part in the fighting at first, being held in reserve. The first, and last, engagement took place at the Battle of Eylau, during which the Russian artillery inflicted heavy losses on the regiment.

Clans / 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" - HELL LET LOOSE / PS
« on: June 17, 2021, 11:24:41 pm »

"My Honor Is Loyalty."





     



Welcome


   Looking for a structured, disciplined, elite and historic German Unit? Look no further! The 12th SS Panzer Division is recruiting mature players to participate in our epic engagements in Hell Let loose. Our goal is to give our members awesome experiences during our events and training's. We strive to be a disciplined division and one that excels in competition. This of course will not get in the way of having fun but we will need to maintain a structured environment at all times. A higher degree of discipline will lead to a more enjoyable experience which will lead to an increase in skill and performance in the field. We are made up of Gentlemen that respect the players in the community, especially their officers and the staff. We pride our self on being mature, organized, and skilled! We feel honored to accept any new members that are dedicated to work hard and fight with us on the field!






Code of Conduct


Loyalty
Being dedicated and putting time into the division is one of the best ways to get promoted. Along with continuously improving your skill, loyalty to the 12th SS PzD will be greatly rewarded.

Orders
Everyone is expected to follow orders to the dot and listen to those who are leading. This means no talking over the leader, playing your best, and paying attention. Paying attention to orders is critical to success.   

Activity
Being active in the division is very important. What is the point of being in a division if you do not attend any events? Members are expected to attend at least one events per week. Of course, if one cannot attend because of real life issues then that is fine just simply notify an officer or NCO.   

Maturity
One is expected to carry themselves to a high degree of maturity. Yes, it is a game but conducting yourself in a positive manner is essential.







How to Join the 12th SS Panzer Division


     We ask that all players that are interested in joining the 12th SS Panzer Division add Marceaux on steam or discord for the introduction process. After applying for the division, an officer will either accept or deny the application. If accepted there will be further instructions on how to get involved with us. The applicant will receive the rank of Anwärter and will be briefed on their duties within the division. Anwärters will then be placed into a Panzer Grenadier Battalion or a Panzer Battalion.




 



History Of The 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend"


    The 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" (German: 12. SS-Panzerdivision "Hitlerjugend") was a Elite German armoured division of the Waffen-SS during World War II. The majority of its junior enlisted men were drawn from members of the Hitler Youth leadership schools, and it was not uncommon to have boys of 16 in its ranks, while the senior NCOs and Officers were from other Waffen-SS divisions mainly the LSSAH (1st SS Panzer Division "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler").

The division first saw action on 7 June 1944 as part of the German defensive operations at the city Caen in Normandy where the division put up a fanatical defense and attempted several counter offensive operations but despite the ferocity of the 12th SS PzD counterattacks, the Division failed to fulfill its orders to throw the attacking allies back into the sea and was forced to retreat. The division suffered massive casualties during its defense of Normandy due to its fierce fanaticism as an elite unit.

In December 1944, the division was committed against the US Army in the Ardennes offensive. After the operation's failure, which became known as the Battle of the Bulge, the division was sent to Hungary to participate in fighting around Budapest. The division eventually retreated into Austria and surrendered to the 7th US Army on 8 May 1945. After the war several members of the division, including its commander Kurt Meyer, were convicted of war crimes.

The Louisiana Tigers was the common nickname for certain infantry troops from the state of Louisiana in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Originally applied to a specific company, the nickname expanded to a battalion, then to a brigade, and eventually to all Louisiana troops within the Army of Northern Virginia. Although the exact composition of the Louisiana Tigers changed as the war progressed, they developed a reputation as fearless, hard-fighting shock troops.

A large number of the men were foreign-born, particularly Irish Americans, many from the city's wharves and docks. Many men had previous military experience in local militia units or as filibusters. They (and the regiments that later became known as the Tigers) were organized and trained at Camp Moore.

Within months of arriving in Northern Virginia, Wheat's entire five-company battalion began to be called the Louisiana Tigers. The battalion first saw combat during the First Battle of Manassas, where it anchored the left flank on Matthews Hill for several hours until reinforcements arrived.

In early 1862, Wheat's Tigers were assigned Brig. Gen. Richard Taylor's First Louisiana Brigade in the army of Stonewall Jackson. They participated in his 1862 Valley Campaign, proving instrumental in Confederate victories at the battles of Front Royal, Winchester, and Port Republic.

In late spring, Jackson's force was sent eastward to participate in the Peninsula Campaign. Following Wheat's death at the Battle of Gaines' Mill, his battalion was merged with Coppens' Zouaves within the Army of Northern Virginia. The combined unit was heavily depleted during the Northern Virginia Campaign and the subsequent Maryland Campaign, where its leader, Colonel Auguste Gaston Coppens, was killed. The amalgamated battalion was disbanded shortly after the Battle of Antietam and the men dispersed among other units.

By then, the nickname "Louisiana Tigers" had expanded to encompass the entire brigade, which was commanded by Brig. Gen. Harry T. Hays following Taylor's promotion and transfer to the Western Theater. By the Battle of Fredericksburg in late 1862, Hays' Brigade was composed of the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Louisiana, and was a part of the division of Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early.

During the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign, Hays' Brigade played a crucial role in the Confederate victory at the Second Battle of Winchester, seizing a key fort and forcing the withdrawal of Union troops under Maj. Gen. Robert H. Milroy. During the subsequent invasion of southern Pennsylvania, much of the populace feared the thievery and drunkenness often associated with the colorful Louisianans. At the Battle of Gettysburg, Hays' Brigade stormed East Cemetery Hill on the second day and seized several Union artillery pieces before withdrawing when supporting units were not advanced.

In the autumn of 1863, more than half the brigade was captured at the Battle of Rappahannock Station, and 600 men were shipped to Northern prisoner-of-war camps, many to Fort Delaware. Most would be paroled and would later rejoin the Tigers. The replenished brigade fought in the Overland Campaign at the Battle of the Wilderness and the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, where General Hays was severely wounded.

During the subsequent reorganization of Robert E. Lee's army in late May, the much depleted brigade of Tigers was consolidated with the "Pelican Brigade," formally known as the Second Louisiana Brigade, which had also lost its commander, Leroy A. Stafford, a long-time Tiger. Zebulon York became the new commander.

The nickname Tigers came to encompass all Louisiana infantry troops that fought under Lee. Nearly 12,000 men served at one time or another in various regiments that were destined to be part of the Louisiana Tigers. The name was at times also used for other Louisiana troops, including Levi's Light Artillery Battery and Maurin's Battery, but it was the infantry that is most often associated with the term.

York's consolidated brigade of Tigers fought in Early's army during the Battle of Monocacy and several subsequent battles in the Shenandoah Valley. In late 1864, the Tigers returned to the Army of Northern Virginia in the trenches around Petersburg, Virginia. By the Appomattox Campaign, many regiments were reduced to less than 100 men apiece, and Brig. Gen. William R. Peck had become the Tigers' final commander.

Following the Civil War, many former Tigers joined the Hays Brigade Relief Association, a prominent New Orleans social and political organization. Harry T. Hays, by then the local sheriff, mobilized the association during the 1866 New Orleans Race Riot. A company of former Louisiana Tigers joined the Fenian Invasion of Upper Canada on June 1, 1866 and fought the Canadian militia the next day at the Battle of Ridgeway.

The nickname Louisiana "Tigers" lives on with the athletic teams of the Louisiana State University.

Tigers wore distinctive uniforms similar to the French zouave, with straw hats or red cloth fezzes, blue-striped chasseur-style pantaloons, and short dark blue jackets with red lacing. The Tiger Zouaves apparently wore the fezzes in camp and straw hats while in the field. As time went on, this garb was replaced by Confederate uniforms and what clothing the men could purchase or otherwise obtain from civilians.

      The 21ème Regiment d'Infanterie is one of the oldest regiments in the world. It was raised in Lorraine in 1598 by Henri de Vaubecourt at the time when Henri of Navarre became King Henry IV of France. The regiment was destined the 21ème Regiment d' Infanterie de Ligne in 1803. In 1804 it formed part of the Armée d' Angleterre when the concept of the Grande Armée was first created by Napoleon. In 1805 the regiment marched under  Marshal Louis Nicoholas Davout as part of the 3ème Corp d' Armee to fight the combined might of Austria and Russia at Austerlitz. In 1806 Davout's Corps found itself facing the main Prussian army under the Duke of Brunswick at Auerstadt, whilst Napoleon was defeating what he believed to be the main army at Jena. The 21ème defended the village of Hassenhausen in the centre of the French line. Corporal Boutloup of the Voltigeur company, along with six men, took a Prussian gun and caisson and turned it on the Prussians. These men, having killed the gun crew, manned the cannon for over half an hour until ammunition was exhausted. Losses were heavy but the three divisions of the 3ème Corp became famous through the Armée as "Les Trois Immortelles".The 21ème saw further action at Custrun, Pultusk and Eylau and later still at Eckmul and Wargram. It was at Custrin, a single company bluffed the fortress into surrendering and took 4,000 Prussian prisoners. In 1812 the regiment was once again with Davout as part of the crack 1er Corp. The 21ème now comprised 6 battalions (4 veteran battalions, the depot battalion and the new 6th battalion led by graduates from St. Cyr and volunteers from the Garde.) It fought at Smolensk, Valoutina Gora and Borodino in the bitter Russian campaign. The regiment then faced the winter retreat from Moscow. From a strength of over 4,200, only 92 remained in arms by the 1st of February 1813.



      In 1814 the regiment was reformed from the depots in France and fought the British army for the very first time at Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands. It was here that the Colour of the Foot Guards was taken (Now on display at the Invalides in Paris). Now following the Emperor's abdication the 21e Regiment de Ligne continued as a reluctant regiment of the monarchy. Napoleons return from exile in 1815 marked the start of a campaign that was to become known as the 100 Days. He re-instated himself as Emperor of France, banished the Bourbons and brought back the tricolour flag. As the storm clouds gathered over Europe his imperial army formed up below the eagles once again.

      During this period the 21eme formed part of the 3eme Division in the 1er Corp commanded by the Compte Drouet d' Erlon. The regiment missed both actions at Ligny and Quartre Bras to the confusion of orders between Napoleon and Marshal Ney. Two days later they formed part of the French right wing on the field of Waterloo. Here the 21eme took part in the early stages of the baffle during the advance on the Allied centre. With shouts of "Vive L' Empereuer!" they descended into the valley under the fiery vault of French and English shells which arched over their heads. With drums beating the advance in massed formation up the slopes of Mont Saint Jean to meet Wellington's army. The regiment was later involved in the capture of the farmhouse of La Haye Saint but never fully recovered from this onslaught. Following the arrival of the Prussians and defeat of the Old Guard the day was lost. The remnants of the regiment regrouped at Laon but Waterloo was the last battle in the Napoleonic Wars and spelt the end of the era in Europe.





      21ème Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne is, as the name says, an NA line infantry regiment. Just like most regiments our aim is gather mature players in order to create an extremely friendly environment/community in which our members can enjoy playing together no matter the game although our focus is on Holdfast: NaW and Napoleonic Wars, of course. Our main goal is to become a respected regiment, a force to be reckoned with so to speak, within the Holdfast: NaW and Napoleonic Wars community. While sharpening our [personal] melee skills we look to improve our teamwork – to us, teamwork and harmony are above all else. 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. We are here to enjoy the game and with that in mind, where others enforce “discipline” we offer good organization, realising that this is just a game not an army boot camp. 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 regiment should be like, if you enjoy the French uniforms and would like a taste of what it was like to be part of Napoleon’s grand army, then 21ème Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne is a perfect regiment for you. Whether you are a grizzled veteran of NW/NaW or a beginner, no matter the age, you are most welcome to join us.




      The 21e will mainly partake in 1v1's against other regiments. We will however participate in big linebattles.
      For that we will build up a strong core of disciplined and mature persons. The regiment will focus on melee and shooting,
      training's will be arranged to get the best out of the members.



      The members of this regiment are always happy to welcome a new member to its ranks. We will always gladly welcome
      everyone who shows interest by joining our cause. Cadets are expected to be motivated and having the will
      to become better. If there is something wrong, or you don't feel yourself well within the regiment or any other
      problem, don't hesitate to contact an officer or non-commissioned officer as they really want to help.
      Private training's will be given to cadets who are not really familiar with the commands and standards.
      Melee training will be given to those who ask for it outside of standard training.

      The regimental tag is 21e_Rank_Name.
      See you on the battlefield!

      The Mess Hall / SIGNATURE / HEADER REQUEST!!!!
      « on: January 31, 2017, 08:29:22 am »
      So the 4e Grenadiers need some new forum signatures and a new thread header. I am looking for a variety of themes and styles! The higher quality the better of course!

      Imperial France / imperial eagle / (tri color or gold/silver) / old guard grenadiers, should be the primary ideas behind them.

      This would be much appreciated!!!
