 Welcome Private Rzar to the Marines.

[Cop]

I recommend the Pyrots linebattles when you guys get up and going, btw.

[Audiate]

 Perhaps for Sundays, not much else. We want to make trainings universal, and have one LB for NA and one for EU every week (of course if anyone from either or can make it to the LB that isn't intended for them, they can participate, by all means).

[Audiate]

 I added the point system. Also, welcome...

 -Private Bohannon
 -Private Lee

 Also, this Private-when-joining thing isn't going to be around forever. If you join in 2012, you'll start out as a Private. If not, you'll start out as a Recruit. So get to enlisting!


 EDIT: For some reason, the point system didn't save. I guess I'll have to redo it...

[Audiate]

 Sorry for the triple post, but I fixed the point system.

Hurrah for many privates 

[Audiate]

 Privates. Privates. Privates all over the place. You can never have too many privates.

[Audiate]

 Things will start again for RM in January. Have fun everyone, enjoy your last few days of 2012!

[Audiate]

 Oh geez. I'm not sure if this was ever mentioned. RM is a regiment, not a corps/brigade/army. It's like the 19th IJA.

 Also, sorry about the triple post, I just wanted to make that known.

HMS Victory

The HMS Victory, never existed in the Napoleonic Wars it was being built during the Napoleonic Wars, but never entered service during the Napoleonic Wars. It entered Service in 1817 with a Crew of 350 and 2 Officers, 26 Guns on each side and a Small Marine Detachment was posted until 1818, it numbered 1 LCpl,4 Marines. those marines were stationed on the mainland and only briefly had done a tour with the Ship(3 Weeks and 2 Days, After the Mast fell and knocked some deck scrubber off the ship, the tour was done.), No Marine Detachments were on the Ship until Late 1845, as it was accompanying the 1st Bn,91st Argyllshyre Highlanders for a tour in Canada at Fort Henry(Yes it Served there, don't ask how i know all this stuff, im a history freak).

Good Luck!

Just saying Lol.

[Audiate]

 This is the first sentence from Wikipedia.

 "HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is most famous as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805."

 The only thing wrong about that is the gun count. I believe it was 100 cannons, not 104.

[Windbusche]

I believe Audiate is correct. You might be mixing up ships, Stefiboy.

BULL-FUCKING-SHIT

I'm sorry, I'm going to cry about how wrong you are.

Edit: Sorry, but the Victory was the  most famous ship in the Napoleonic wars and heck, the most ship of his majesty's fleet to ever sail!

[Audiate]

 I honestly only read that now.

don't ask how i know all this stuff, im a history freak

 Lol.

[Odysseus]

Exactly Stefi, and here, I don't even need to read Wikipedia right now to know this.

HMS Victory, 1st Rate Ship of The Line, some 800 crewmembers. The ship was the flagship of Lord Nelson, hero of britain and we even have a hotel named after him here where I live. The ship most notably fought at trafalgar, where as the tale tells the Victory was heavily enaged with the french fleet. From Admiral Hardy's account, Nelson stepped down to the main deck and didn't return for a couple minutes,so Hardy looked over the rail in time to see Admiral Nelson collapse. Lord Nelson had been hit by the bullet of a french marine sharpshooter. They rushed him down to sick bay where he was treated with the utmost luxury that they could afford whilst being in the middle of the largest naval engagement of their time. He passed on before the end of the battle.

The story is so famous I honestly don't know how you could even think of it as the little 50 gun ship you described.
