Privet! I am LtCol. S. Owen of the 2nd Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry battalion - Company A,

Brief History;
The regiment was organized in May 1861 at Camp Andrew in West Roxbury, Massachusetts south of Boston. The 2nd Massachusetts was commanded by Colonel George H. Gordon, a West Point graduate (Class of 1846), along with Lieutenant Colonel George Leonard Andrews, also a West Point graduate (Class of 1851), and Major Wilder Dwight. On July 8, the regiment left for Maryland where it joined the forces under General Robert Patterson.
In 1861, the regiment served guarding the upper Potomac River and Frederick, Maryland, and in the spring of 1862, the regiment served under Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks, unsuccessfully opposing Maj. Gen.Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. In June, the regiment was transferred to the Union Army of Virginia and participated in General Pope"s Northern Virginia Campaign. During this time, Colonel Gordon was promoted to brigadier general and commanded the brigade. Lieutenant Colonel Andrews was promoted to colonel and given command of the 2nd Massachusetts. Major Dwight was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

In-Game Information
The 2nd Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry is a new Union regiment within; Mount & Blade: Warband. We operate in the North and South mod, and we have a sister regiment within the Napoleonic wars extension of mount and blade.. When 'War of Rights' Releases we WILL transfer our Regiment to this wonderful game. We Hope for new members to have an enjoyable time, while using tactics used from the Napoleonic era, which were used during the American Civil War. We are based in the EU, but we do recruit from anywhere in the world, its up to you if you join us! We find that having members from so many different ethnicity's is interesting, we all have stories to tell, and every now and again, you'll join the team-speak and find us just sitting there talking (When we're not playing N&S) xD

The highest rank in a company is Captain so you're doing well for yourself to be a lieutenant colonel and isn't Major the highest rank in a battalion?
