Who are the 3e Zouaves?
The 3e is an active French regiment in the Blood and Iron module for Napoleonic Wars. The 3e uses both line infantry and light infantry tactics, and aims to perfect its success in battles. The 3e is also a sister-regiment to the Napoleonic Wars regiment, the 93rd Regiment of Foot - Sutherland Highlanders. The motto of the 3e is J'y Suis-J'y Reste, essentially meaning I am, I Remain. This echoes the bravery of the 3e Zouaves, forever wagging a finger at the belief of post-Napoleonic French cowardliness. Historically, the 3e Zouaves were the most decorated Zouave regiment of the French Army, and one of the more highly decorated regiments of its time, and we would like to hold true to that bravery and determination as we play. Enlist today, and become one of the proud 3e Zouaves!
*** | The 3e Régiment de Zouaves was an infantry regiment in the French Army. Established in 1852, and assigned to the province of Constantine, the 3e has served in many battles across the world, including Sevastopol in Russia, San Lorenzo in Mexico, and Kabylie in Africa. Over the years, the 3e has received many decorations, including the Médaille Militaire, two Croix, two Médaille de la Valeur, and the all-glorious Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur, the highest award given in the French Army. The success of the 3e has made it one of, if not the most famous French Zouave regiment. |
| The 3e is also well known for its photographs and paintings. As the Zouave unit arose, artists including the great Vincent Van Gogh set out to depict these sharp-dressed men. The typical Zouave uniform consisted of a white shirt, black shoes, and the signature red or orange loose-hanging fez, blue or black jacket with curls and patterns, and red or orange pants, often baggy, usually matching the color of the fez. Several Zouave uniforms also had a blue or black sash. This uniform, with styles based on the French colors, became extremely famous, eventually adopted by American troops during the Civil War. |  |
 | Artists have made more Zouave art than just photographs and paintings. On 1856, Georges Diebolt, a French sculptor, sculpted the Zouave du pont de l'Alma, often called the "Zouave de Paris", in Paris, no less. This statue is the most publicly seen attraction depicting a French Zouave. It stands 5.2 meters tall and weighs eight tons, depicting the Zouave as a strong, noble warrior, who fights nobly and respectfully, but just as fiercely. The 3e lived with those ideals; they fought smart and hard, resulting in their many awards.
The 3e was very well possibly the most decorated Zouave regiment of the French Army. They achieved more and higher honored medals and awards than any other Zouave regiment, even more than the highly decorated 4e Régiment of Zouaves. They were trusted for many battles globally, and for good reason. After all, what else would make the 3e so highly depicted by artists to represent the new and unique Zouave regiments of France in the mid-1800's? They were no better equipped than the other regiments of their kind, but they fought harder and better. |
Medals and Honors
There are two Medals given out in the 3e Zouaves: the Médaille militaire and the Légion d'honneur. These help officers know who should be promoted in addition to additional judgement of skill.
There are a total of eleven decorations that can be given out in the 3e Zouaves. Two of which make up the two medals, however, in the first instance of someone receiving a medal, they will receive the corresponding decoration, but only the first time. A player can only receive one of each decoration, and each decoration a player is given will be shown on their forum signature, if they choose to have and use one. Médaille militaire

Uniform and Banner
Looking at two different soldiers from two different Zouave regiments, you could easily tell the differences between them. However, Zouave regiments were so inconsistent, that you could often mistake two soldiers of the same Zouave regiment as totally different regimental uniforms entirely. Typically, variation in uniforms depended on the Battalion, Company, and season. Indeed, the weather impacted the Zouave uniform. This bizarre irregularity does not distract from the fact that the Zouave unit is very definitive. The Zouave Garde is somewhat to blame for the confusing Zouave uniforms; they had different lacing patterns, often in significantly different colors, than the ordinary Zouave uniforms. Their turbaned fezzes were meant to signify their Garde status -- but that did not stop many people from confusingly depicting many Zouaves with mix-matched uniforms through the form of paintings.
Regardless of the confusing nonsense of the French Zouave uniforms, the style originated from Arabic soldiers. As France stationed its colonies on more and more land across the globe, its units altered and changed significantly. In Morocco and Algiers, the French formed militia to station their colonies by recruiting the people already living there. The uniforms were adopted from Arabic troops, and as more and more Frenchmen moved to Morocco and Algiers, more and more Frenchmen became Zouaves. Soon enough, Zouaves were being pulled into official regiments (1er Imperiale, 2e, 3e, and 4e Zouaves) in France. This cultural osmosis happened very seamlessly.
The 3e Zouaves in particular dressed generally the same. They didn't have significant changes based on weather, their battalions and companies were all dressed similarly; one could assume this is somewhat responsible for the 3e's credit in battles (a mix-match of uniforms could mean awards would be difficult to determine and hand out). Shown above, the 3e Officers dressed very similarly; from left to right on the Officers tab: The Regimental Staff (Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, and Major) dress for the 3e Zouaves was extremely similar to that of a Capitaine or Lieutenant, however, the only significant differences was the equipment issued, the decoration, and the pants fitted for horse riding. The Senior Officer (including Capitaine and Lieutenant) dress was a simpler version of the Regimental Staff uniform; this was the uniform eventually adopted by the Union side of the American Civil War when mid-to-late Zouave regiments began to appear. Onto the NCO and Enlisted uniforms (shown under the Enlisted tab), the only difference between a Soldat, a Sergent, and anything in between, was the sleeves. Ranks were depicted by chevrons, started at none for a Recruit/Cadet, one gold for a Soldat, and an additional red chevron for each rank above the Soldat (gold chevron included). Yes indeed, the Zouave uniforms can be quite confusing during this time. As history unfolded, and WWI approached, Zouaves became less and less elaborate, and generally more and more like that of the 3e Zouaves. Regardless of the technical differences, the Zouave uniform has, and will always be, a favorite among many reenactors, artists, and war-fanatics around the world.***

28th North Gloucestershire Regiment of Foot
"The Slashers"
About this Regiment
The 28th is an active North American-based regiment of the Napoleonic Wars add-on to Mount & Blade: Warband. Its members range from very experienced with several years spent with the game to new players striving to improve, with all members ambitious to improve the 28th as well as their personal playing skills. There are trainings several days every week. Though optional, these trainings provide practice, improvement in skill, helpful lessons about tactics and general gameplay, and to those who strive for it, advancement towards promotions. The regiment also provides leadership opportunities to those who have served with activity, dedication, and integrity, but are only granted to those who seek leading, providing a laid-back experience for the players who simply wish to play and have fun with their community. The 28th also expands to other games as a community, breaking the boundaries of exclusive professionalism. If one wishes to play a game with an officer or NCO, all they must do is ask.
Accounts of the North Gloucestershire Regiment
 | 1694 - Early in the year Colonel John Gibson, Lieutenant Governor of Portsmouth was given a warrant, or beating order as it was known, to raise a new regiment of infantry. At this early period such regiments were the personal property of their Colonels and were commonly known by his name. The new regiment was therefore to be known as 'Gibson's Regiment of Foot'.
1782 - After several changes of the regiment, another important change took place in this year when the government of the day decided to link regiments to districts or counties for the purpose of recruitment. So it was that when the 28th came home in the following year of 1783 it was to be known by the new title of the 28th North Gloucestershire Regiment of Foot. The county they were now linked to was also home to the 61st South Gloucestershire Regiment of Foot and the Royal North, and South Gloucestershire Militia's. Almost crowded from a military point of view! And unlikely that all those units could have found enough recruits within the county to satisfy all their needs. In any case the 28th had little chance to become acquainted with their new territory because they were immediately packed off to Northumberland for the winter. It may well be that they heartily wished themselves back in the warmer West Indies with all it's attendant perils of disease.
1801 - The French revolution began in 1789 and from then on set the whole of Europe alight with conflict. Under the genius of Napoleon Bonaparte the French had won battles against nearly every major nation and now dominated the European mainland. She now turned her attention outward towards Great Britain and Her overseas possessions. France had sent an expeditionary force to Egypt with a view to the invasion of India. The 28th were sent as part of a British force under General Sir Ralph Abercromby to counter that threat. They made an amphibious landing near Alexandria on the 8th of March. The French General Menou advanced towards the British who were camped about four miles to the east of Alexandria. He had the advantage of 1400 cavalry and superior artillery. He made a feint towards the British left but made his main thrust at the British right which included the ground the 28th were holding which was an old ruined fort on the Mediterranean coast. The fighting was very fierce and whilst under heavy attack to the front and flanks French cavalry was thrown at the 28th's rear. Lieutenant Colonel Chambers who had assumed command when colonel Paget was seriously wounded was undaunted by this alarming turn of events and gave the order ' 28th, rear rank only, right about face, and Although assailed from both sides the regiment calmly repelled all attacks in fierce hand to hand fighting. By 10.00 am the French were in full retreat along their entire line.
In honour of the 28th's conduct on that day they were granted the unique distinction of wearing a badge on the back of their head dress as well as at the front. This badge takes the form of a sphinx with the word 'Egypt' beneath.
1808 - An expedition under sir John Moore including the 28th was sent to Spain to link up with the Spanish army and drive the French out of the country. However General Moore soon realised that the Spanish army was not going to stand against the French. He also learned that the French were moving to isolate and destroy his force leaving him with no choice but to withdraw the 240 miles to the port of Corunna. The withdrawal began on Christmas Eve, and was carried out in terrible weather conditions over snow covered mountains. The 28th formed part of the rear guard under their own General Paget, now recovered from his wound and Divisional Commander under General Moore. Throughout this gruelling retreat the 28th had been in almost constant contact with the French and had fought many holding and delaying actions. The army reached Corunna on the 11th January and were able to regroup, get some much needed sleep and food, and be issued with arms and ammunition. They then fought the French again just outside of Corunna and succeeded in beating them before being successfully taken off by the Royal Navy. A precursor of Dunkirk? Although the main part of the regiment left the Peninsula it left a detachment behind in Lisbon which as part of a composite battalion under the Duke of Wellington took part in the battle of Talavera. Many more famous battles were fought before the final push in 1813 which saw the defeat of the French at the battle of Toulouse in 1814 and the abdication and exile of Napoleon to the island of Elba.
1815 - In March of this year Napoleon escaped from Elba and returned to France gathering popular support as he travelled slowly from the coast to Paris. Whole regiments that were sent to intercept and arrest him defected to his cause. An allied army was assembled in Belgium which included the 28th who had hurried across the sea from Ireland where they had been stationed for several years. Napoleon was aware that he had only a short time to obtain a quick victory whilst the allies were still bickering about who should do what and before the allied army grew to an overwhelming size. He therefore marched towards Brussels on the 15th June. He met the Prussian army at Ligny driving them off and nearly destroying them completely. Wellington had decided to stop the French advance at Quatre Bras some 25 miles south of Brussels and on 16th June at the crossroads the battle was joined. The 28th in square against cavalry valiantly resisted every effort to break them and eventually Marshall Ney, the French Commander was forced to withdraw. During the height of the battle Sir James Kempt, the Brigade Commander rode into the 28th's square, doffed his hat and cried 'Bravo 28th, The 28th are still the 28th and your conduct this day shall never be forgotten'.
After the battle of Quatre Bras the 28th joined the main army at Waterloo. Wellington had chosen the location for it's suitability to his now well known tactic of hiding the exact number and strength of his force by screening parts of it behind dips and rises in the land. As a bonus this also served to protect some units from direct damage from artillery. He intended to deny the battlefield to the enemy until Blucher's Prussians could recover from their mauling at Ligny and come up to re-enforce him. As he said afterwards, "It was a damned serious business, the nearest thing you ever saw in your life". During the course of the evening Napoleon was informed that the Prussians would shortly arrive, and in desperation he flung in the last of his reserves, the famed Imperial Guard. Unfortunately the ploy failed and the Guard were repulsed with heavy loss. Wellington took of his hat and waved it as a signal for a general advance. The French army was broken and fled the field. Napoleon went into exile once again this time to remain there until his death.
The 28th North Gloucestershire Regiment is proud to count Waterloo amongst it's many battle honours and equally proud to have been the only regiment mentioned by name in Wellingtons Waterloo Despatches. |

Thank you Audiate for this thread! I also made the 93rd's thread (below), but unfortunately I cannot access the BB Code to post here.
https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=3971.0 There are also some thread work that became discontinued/incomplete, and some various things I may show later, but am not ready to yet. Anywho, here's some misc. things I put together:
If you'd like me to make any images, let me know of what the images should be, and in what style.
If you'd like me to make a thread, please provide the name of the regiment, any pictures you would like me to specifically include, etc. I can handle making a thread using little given information, but it would be more likely for me to actually make your thread for you if you provide me the necessary material prior.
Please keep in mind that I won't be following through with
every request made of me, but I will try most.
