King's German Legion [KGL] - One of the oldest regiments in the NW community

[=7Cav=CPT.Ryan.BF]

Greetings everyone,

the Kings German Legion (formerly known as 5th Kings German Legion in NW or 501st Royal Regiment in Battlegrounds 2) is also going to play Holdfast as a regiment and looking for new recruits to enlist for the ranks to play the game together with us.

The King's German Legion has been one of the first Regiments in the linebattle / Napoleonic Wars community, and has ever since fought bravely in many battles. The roots of the Kings German Legion go far back and show 8 years of Linebattle and Napoleonic Wars experiance, starting back in the Half Life Mod Battlegrounds 2, over Mount&Masket and Mount and Blade: Napoleonic Wars. Now the Kings men from Hannover have found their way to Holdfast.

Under the motto; "hard drill, high skill", the King's German Legion has made itself a name for its outstanding discipline and order over the years.
We are participating in high quality linebattle events and devote a great deal of effort to performing in a historically accurate way.

All men of the King's German Legion are to hold up these high standards of discipline and always act with honour and good conduct.
Knowledge and skill are things to be learned, honed and perfected, but honour comes from within. As such, we have no skill requirements, but an effective training program designed to teach all the skills required, while serving as a honoured and valued soldier in his majesties army.

Historically the King's German Legion consists of infantry, artillery and cavalry. On occasion we have already brought Light Infantry or Cavalry to the battlefield in the past, but remained with one existing battalion, the 5th Line Infantry. In September 2016 although his majesty and the staff saw it fit to expand the existing structures of the Legion by opening a new cavalry detachement, the 1st Hussar Battalion. Newly formed it soon became a vital part of the whole regiment and had proven his value on the battlefield.

Our 5th Battalion of the King's German Legion has become well renown for it's excellent discipline and fighting ability as line infantry since the old days of Battlegrounds 2. While the 1st Hussars are a quiet young cavalry battalion they show the same devotion towards discipline and skill as the infantry and has ever so fought bravely and faithfully against all enemies of the crown. Fighting for honour and glory of his majesty King George the third.

The newest addition towards the King's German Legion is the 2nd Light Battalion. Historicly this men were the bravest amongst the Light Infantry at the battle of Waterloo, defending the position of La Haye Saint against the french, being completly outnumbered and lacking essential supplies. At the end of the battle only 40 men of the battalion survived but they fulfilled their task: they held La Haye Saint against the french. In this huge footsteps the newly formed 2nd Light Battalion in Holdfast seeks to perform just as brave and honourable as this chosen men did by high skill, outstanding discipline and historical accuracy.

However, its not all about the line battles, the community within the regiment is an important part. Not only do we fight together on the battlefield against whoever dares to challenge the King's men from Hanover, we also play many different games together, just hang out in Teamspeak, have a chat and a jolly good time.
And given our great infrastructure, we are also able to host additional game servers - should a particular game be very popular within the Regiment.
