"FIRE ZOUAVES"

Hello and welcome to the thread of the 72nd P.V.I "Fire Zouaves". We are a newly formed company looking to provide a fun role playing experience for War of Rights players. We believe that maintaining a perfect balance between immersion and fun is the best possible way to enjoy games like WoR. Here you will find a company that uses period drills and tactics, and is dedicated to immersing players into one of the most exciting wars in history, without sucking the fun out of everything with an endless amount of protocols.

COMPANY HISTORY

The 72nd (originally raised as the 2nd California) was recruited from among the firemen of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in early August 1861, with DeWitt Clinton Baxter as its colonel. It became part of Edward D. Baker's famous California Brigade, a group of regiments recruited from Philadelphia with California designations. After Colonel Baker was killed at the Battle of Ball's Bluff, Pennsylvania reclaimed the regiment as its own, re-designating it as the 72nd. After some months of patrolling along the Potomac River, the 72nd was transported to the Peninsula. It saw its first action at the Battle of Seven Pines on May 1, 1862. During the Seven Days Battles, it supported the army's rear guard. The 72nd was transferred to northern Virginia too late to fight in the Second Battle of Bull Run but did see light skirmishing at the Battle of Chantilly. On the battle of Antietam The regiment participated in the attack on the west woods, the regiment bravely assaulted the confederate positions losing half of it's men in the process, eventually being forced to retreat when the rest of the division routed. Though perhaps it's greatest performance was at Gettysburg, the regiment defended the Angle on July 2 and 3. On the evening of the 2nd, it helped defeat Confederate Brigade General Ambrose R. Wright's attack, advancing just over the stone wall. The next day, it was placed in reserve for the brigade near the copse of trees. Holding the line during Pickett's Charge, its position served as a rallying point for the left wing of the 71st and two companies of the 106th Pennsylvania, which had been driven back. Eventually fire from the 72nd and the rest of the Philadelphia Brigade forced the confederates to retreat giving the union one of the most important victories of the war.
A total of 1,600 men fought in the 72nd, of whom 1,053 became casualties, a 65% casualty rate. At Antietam 6 men from A company were killed, one man was also MIA and around a dozen were discharged due to severe injury

COMPANY RULES


1. You are to obey the orders of superior officers in combat.

2. Don't insult anyone in the company or anyone in the game for that matter. Treat other players with respect.

3. We are an RP company so try not to break character when in battle, we understand people will accidentally have a small breach of realism every now and then and are completely fine with that. However running around playing "We're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" on in game VOIP is not acceptable.

4. We understand that people have other things to do, and are completely fine with members missing an event because you have to do something else, but you are expected to participate in events when you can. Repeatedly missing events with no explanation will have consequences.

5. Trolling, griefing, hacking or other such in game behaviors are unacceptable.

Although the company does not believe in demoting players as punishment In EXTREME circumstances we reserve the right to ban players from the company. To ban a player a company wide vote will be cast with a 3 quarters majority needed to ban the player in question. The vote can either be started by the player in questions platoon commander, section commander, or the company commander. We hope that we will never have to exercise this power.
