Welcome to the 8th Royal Glen Ord Highland Regiment of Foot!
Some historical information about the regiment:
The 8th Royal Glen Ord Highlanders were recruited and trained very late on in the stages of the Napoleonic Wars, seeing active service on mainland Europe for less than a year before Napoleon was exiled to Elba. They arrived on Portugese shores in late December, 1813 and were seen to fight in only three distinct battles before France was defeated. After Napoleon was exiled, it seemed that the 8th would be disbanded, but they were in fact stationed in Malta for only a few months before being sent to Mauritius until 23rd May, 1814. After being garrisoned there the 8th were called back to France to fight against the return of Napoleon, and in fact saw service in the battle of Waterloo itself, their square being one of the few in the great French cavalry charge. Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren't for the valuable and effective support of the 8th Royal Dragoons, these brave souls riding wherever they're needed to assist their comrades in arms. If it weren't for the swift assaults and impressive manouverability of the cavalry, many a battle would've had a different fate. These victories are not based solely on the men and beasts who fight, but the weapons used, such as the 12lber cannons deployed by the artillerists of the 8th, whose mighty barrages and thundering cannon balls have crushed many a French line.
Sadly, this is all fiction! The 8th Royal Glen Ord Highland Regiment of Foot never existed, but we thought a nice back-story would add to our regiment. In actual fact, this regiment is named after a whisky!

Regimental Rules
Of course, we understand this is a game, the primary objective of any regiment is to be a fun, enjoyable place for any player of any skill to be happy! But we do require rules to function well.
1. Don't be intimidated! Get out there, join the TS, ask people if they want a game, the best way to get the most out of our regiment is to throw yourself into it! We don't bite!
2. There is no skill requirement to join us! We don't like players being left out because they feel they aren't good enough, it's nonsense! As a community, we can help you improve your game skills and have fun at the same time.
3. All players who join the 8thRoyal must be currently living in europe! This is so our training times are comfortable for all our recruits, allowing us to achieve maximum turn-out and activity
4. We do have a chain of command, the people who are high ranks have earned it, listen to them! The officers don't exist to ruin your fun, they're there to ensure we work as a regiment would! Also, ask any of them an they'll be more than happy to offer advice or support.
5. We do like banter and chat between our soldiers, but stick to the limit, immature players will not be tolerated, such as people who constantly ignore orders, or just scream and shout in events!
6. We don't have a rule about using your microphone, if you don't want to talk, don't! But be aware, for obvious reasons we can't promote people to an NCO rank if they won't talk (How can you lead without a voice?).
7. We do only accept people above the age of 13 years old. This is for a number of reasons, primarily sometimes the language of members isn't too clean! It also helps to ensure that there is at least some order of maturity in our members!
8. If you do go inactive for more than 3 weeks, without telling an officer you will be kicked from the regiment.
