Now the Drums beat up again,
For all true Soldier Gentlemen.
Alright people, our first new EU and early US friendly Napoleonic Siege event thing is happening in less than an hour and a few hours later we'll be playing us a North And South Skirmish battle.

So start getting into the Mumble channel between this post and the start of the event!

Alright, I think I made it. I'll probably be around for tomorrow's siege event, then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, SeanBeansShako.

I do what I can to keep things running smoothly.

Also, looked into the Native Event. It is full already :smith:.

I lost my wallet the other day - would anybody mind gifting me this for the $4.99 and I'll give you Magicka, or buy you another game on Thursday (or sooner if my new debit card arrives before then). I literally have no forms of payment until it comes in (sigh, USAA), it's like high school again.

I'm dying to play this, unfortunately I've had Warband forever- long before the sales.

I'll also follow you around like your personal servant. You can call me Garçon.

We're tooling around in this weird mixed NW event still, and we have the North And South event in 40 minutes time. So get into the Mumble if you can goons!

EDIT:

No pubbie regiments showed for the N&S line battle sign off, it was temporary cancelled by the GCG. Happens again next week they'll stop the event :smith:.

I got it, hit me up on my STEAM community here.

Tonight is our own Sunday Line Battle at 8PM EST for NW, Administrated by me. If we get good numbers I'll give you guys Rifles instead of line. We'll see. I think the numbers are stable enough?

Also, one last plug here. The DLC is 50% off for one more day. If you can pick up cheap get it now and join us!

That was a blast. I haven't thrown on spandex and run around in a line with other guys in a long time. Great game, the musket action is farrr better than it is in Full Invasion 2.

By the way, could anyone hear me talking during the fight pre-winter map? I was mostly snickering at what was going on around me and in the Mumble, but I did try to say a couple of things. Mumble is telling me that it's catching my voice, but I'm just wondering if anyone on the other end can hear me since my mic has a weird connection setup. I'll try being more talkative next event so that it'll be easier to tell.

Goons will be cav next weekend if we get those numbers, I'll try and stick one or less competent guys opposite if you want too. One of the best bits was towards the end with the obvious imposter. Thanks for helping out alwaysbeclosing!

Kinda pissed the random map generator had a vendetta against me trying to find a field of fire for the artillery.

Are you Stumblebum in Mumble? all we can hear from you when you use the Mumble is weird sounds like your clearing your nose and throat.

Yes I'm Stumblebum. I worried about that, but at least the mic's getting some input. It's got this weird connection thing where I can use the default or plug it in along with headphones to a USB adapter. I use the latter, but it does make it kind of hairy to get a connection going. I'll try it out again tonight. Also I was getting over a cold yesterday, sorry about all that :shobon:

It is fine, Mics aren't mandatory unless you want to lead. Once YummyDeadCow led us with Mumble voice and it hilariously worked.

Added both videos to the list of other draGoon video antics. The Windmill will always be in our hearts.

Last time was a pretty awesome line battle, I kind of feel bad for Austria but as a line we shot and stabbed rear end collectively well together. I hope to see more bad rear end stuff in the next few months!

We have our EU siege event in around 50 minutes time, feel free to join in even if you are in the region as it is still pretty good fun!

That GIF is my new favourite and is going in one of the OP.

Anyway that siege was pretty good fun, me and BlueSpy don't Officer much but I like to think we did our best. Our next EU Event is this Thursday at 7PM (same time as the siege) and the American time zone event is the Blood And Iron event at 8PM EST. It was a pretty awesome turn out.

I'm going to try and talk to the guy behind North And South, he really needs to just get the word out that his mod isn't broken and he is working on an update.

I promised the KPR and this is still a general rule, but stay away from all chat guys. People can be thin skinned even with video games. And somehow out of all that always and me got us in in their event for tomorrow!

They have some pretty interesting rules. We should give them a try.

quote:

Admins of the Event:
HellsTicket
Sparhawk
Nags
Gildo
Delion

Misc. Rules:
- Time limit will be 20 minutes a round.
- 1 sapper and medic per regiment is allowed.
- Max of 2 officer per reg
- No shotguns/musketoons except where it is the only gun choice (Sapper).
- buffs will be off(lag)
- No trolling (aka; teamkilling, teamwounding, kicking, obstructing artillery, etc.)
- If an Admin asks a question only Regiment leaders should respond.
- profane or abusive language, taunting, spamming, racial or ethnic slurs in chat will not be tolerated
- If any unit is attacked regardless of its numbers it may defend itself including firing.
- If a Regiment LEADER has an issue with something or someone during the Linebattle, please contact one of the KPR admins. Do not take unilateral action.
- Musicians, banners do not count against unit totals. Limit 1 of each per unit.
- When charging remain within proximity of your unit using your standard spacing to the next closest man, if I see someone taking a wide path (I have seen 40-50 paces) they will be considered breaking the rules.
- unit maximum sizes are flexible and if you have a couple of men over the limit we are not going to make them "sit out", just let us know so we may compensate for any "extras, thank you


Specialist Roles and Unit Types (these units have a statistical melee or fire advantage and will be match limited, if you are assgned line inf you MAY NOT select these unit types
Lt. Infantry - Jäger Battalion, Garde-Schützen Bataillon, 1er Chassuers à pied
Guard/Specials - Garde-Regiment zu Fuß, 1er Régiment d'Infantrie de Marine 'Division Bleue', 1er Zouaves, 1er Régiment de Grenadiers de la Garde Impériale, Marine-Soldaten

Line Inf, Guards, Marines (Min 6, Max 20):
- May divide into multiple squads for tactical purposes (min of 3 men) these groups must remain within 100 paces of each other
- Allowed 10 man spacing within squads, may crouch, fire and take cover at any time
- May move in line, column or blob formation as long as spacing is maintained

Light Infantry/Jägers (Min 6, Max 15):
- May break off sharpshooter squads of at least 3 men, no more than 5, that may operate independently on the battlefield.
- Allowed 20 man spacing within squads, may crouch, fire and take cover at any time
- May move in line, column or blob formation as long as spacing is maintained

Cavalry (Min 4, Max 12):
- Must stay together while moving out, spacing 5 horses max
- Cav with firearms are allowed to fire while on horseback
- Must ride together, must charge together, observe spacing
- Dismounted Cav with firearms act as Lt Inf

Artillery (Min 4, Max 12, ArtyGs count):
- Max of 2 guns! (Cannon, Howitzer or a mix)
- Arty Guards are considered Line Infantry when away from their guns and act as such.
- No more than 15 spaces from the guns when with their guns and can act individually.

All:
You may fire at any time under any circumstances in this game!

The 2 man rule explained
When you get down to 2 men in your unit you need to seek out another friendly unit, lt. inf can get down to 1 man and arty can fight till they die.

You can always defend yourself from attack and in addition should you "stumble" into an enemy I certainly don't expect you to wait for him to fire first. I call that a "target of opportunity" which you may take advantage of should it occur. What I don't want to see is you engaging in a 10 minute firefight on the way back to a unit. If you see a "easy" shot take it and quickly move on.

When does the rule go into effect if I am engaged in a close combat fight? You started a charge with more than 3 men but some have died and there are only 2 of you left, certainly finish and conclude the fight. The same on defense. If you happen to be firing across a field at 300 yards and both sides are still firing and you get down to 2 men the fight isn't over, right? Yes it is and those 2 men need to seek out another unit. Well what about if I am in a house? see below "Structured Environments".

Structured Environments
When fighting in and around structured environments, the grouping, spacing and 2 man rules are relaxed. This includes all structures you can occupy including fortifications of all types, cities, villages and other structured areas that are clearly marked with boundaries.

always, when shall we bash out this possible draGoon North And South rule list?
