I used to do line battles in one of the Prussian units (1st EPI). Wouldn't mind doing some with you guys, but I'm a bit rusty. How is that new patch for Napoleonic Wars anyway?

Do you guys recommend any other clans for line battles? I'm really interested in playing on a team in Napoleon, not so much the other mods. I usually go goon groups all the way, would you all hate me if I double dipped?

I was, and I believe Deofuta still is, in the 1st EPI. They're a good group if you don't mind having to show up to practices and memorize actual parade drills, etc.. Good group of guys too, not the usual buncha kids that most regiments are.

It always boggles me when the vocal crew is all "Let's play dragoons guys we're good at it!" when we're terrible at shooting.

Protip: goons are good at heavy and heavy cav alone, as they have the heavy sabres which are longer then the normal ones. This means they hit more and they hit sooner then the enemy cav, which makes up for the "skill disparity". Goons are decent at arty, but arty is pretty easy and everyone not on a cannon kinda loafs around for fifteen minutes.

Be a horse.

As one of those vocal minority, I have to say you're correct. I'm always bitching about being Dragoons probably just because of our name, but half the time we're just not that good at it. It's also nice to have a musket as well as cavalry sabre...

But yes, to reiterate you are abso-loving-lutely correct. From now on when we're Cav, we should go heavy as we seem to just steamroll everything in our path. Maybe we can get custom taco hats for all the heavy cav for ourselves as well?

To assume anyone is trying to be "in charge" is wrong. We've always strived to strike a balance between having goony fun, and you know.. actually trying to win. Part of the reason we don't hold practices ( but maybe should once in awhile ) is because a lot of goons now consider such a thing the ultimate in sperginess.. Yet those same goons are always the ones who bitch when they die to a bayonet wizard, get killed, lose a round, etc.

It all comes down to it just being a game, but like any other like to win too. I don't mind being the Cohorts after dicking around and I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume everyone knows I'm one of those guys who always wants to play cavalry ( and I have to give Nurdbot props for acquiescing me sometimes, because we do have a few people who truly enjoy cav)...

If there DOES appear to be a "Goon in charge" culture here, well I'd say it's deserved since the ones who take charge are the ones who've been here longest and actually know what they're doing. A lot of us have had experience in actual NW regiments and can attest to the Goons having nowhere even NEAR the same amount of BS or sperginess in one of those. It's not even in the same galaxy.

Anyway, I'll shut the gently caress up. It's 8 AM, I haven't had my coffee yet and I have to leave for work soon.
