71st Highland Regiment of Foot
« on: January 31, 2021, 11:23:08 pm »

The 71st Regiment of Foot was a Highland regiment in the British army, raised in 1777 at Elgin by Major-General John Mackenzie, Lord MacLeod as the 73rd (Highland) Regiment of Foot (McLeod's Highlanders). The regiment was designated as the 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot (MacLeod's Highlanders) in 1786. During the Napoleonic Wars the regiment remained in India, fought at the Siege of Pondicherry in August 1793, before transferring to Ceylon in August 1795 and returned to Scotland in August 1798.

In October 1804 a second battailon was raised but remained in Scotland during the war. The 1st battailon embarked for the Cape of Good Hope in August 1805 and also participated in the Battle of Blaauwberg in January 1806. At a disastrous expedition in South America against Buenos Aires under Sir Home Popham the whole battailon was taken prisoners and the Regimental Colours were captured, but new colours were presented to the regiment by Lieutenant-General Sir John Floyd in April 1808.

The 1st battailon served in the Peninsular War in June 1808 before renaming 71st (Glasgow Highland) Regiment of Foot after. The battailon saw the action at the Battle of Roliça in August 1808, the Battle of Vimeiro later that month and Battle of Corunna in January 1809. In March 1809 it became a light infantry regiment and saw the action at countless Battles just like at the Battle of Waterloo 1815.

On the 31st of January 2021 DarkTemplar decided with Tigere and many of their allies to form a new german competitive regiment. The main goal of the regiment is to unite and to strengthen the german community by focusing mainly on the competitive part of Napoleonic Wars by improving the individual skill but also the teamplay and teamwork aswepect. But we aren't just a regiment, we are also a community. Most of the people know each other and have been in the same regiment together aswell. We are looking forward for some great groupfights, 1v1's and tournaments.

Gl.
I won lots of things, I came 2nd and 3rd in lots of things, I guess I did some other shit too........ I'm also an FSE legend, probably most commonly described as a cunt. If the shit I do doesn't make sense in your head, well fuck you because it makes sense in mine.

Which i did, against known and reputed player, some of them considered legend, such as, Mandarin, Ledger, Tiberias, Herishey, Hokej, Troister, Axiom, Evanovic, Stark, Eddie, Jammo, Bagins, Freddie, Python. I didn't had a good relationship with most of them, but i congratulate them for what they did, and i had pleasure facing them.
