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 2leme 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 EU based 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 do 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, trainings will be arranged to get the best out of the members. Next to linebattles and 1v1's we will also invade the Napoleonic Role Playing server. We will act as a normal line to have fun on public servers. The members of this regiment are always happy when a new person joins in. 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 you are active for 1 week, it will grant you the promotion to Fusilier. The backbone of the entire regiment. If there is something wrong, 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 trainings 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. The regimental tag we use will be 21e_Rank_Firstname_Surname. We do use historical names in order to keep the immersive feeling. With that being said always have an officer or non-commissioned officer on steam. See you on the battlefield!
