Regiment History
The Columbus Guards was a prestigious company that began in 1835. They served in a plethora of major conflicts during the 19th and early 20th century. This includes: The Indian War (1836), Mexican-American War(1846), American Civil War(1861), Spanish American War(1898), and WWI, fighting briefly against Pancho Villa as well. This Regiment took part in the Peninsula Campaign, Seven Days Battles, Northern Virginia Campaign, and the Maryland Campaign. They were part of the heated fighting at Antietam where their Brigadier General, Robert Toombs, was shot in the hand. They were eventually forced to surrender at Appomattox Courthouse with only 1 officer and 11 men left standing.
Why Should You Enlist With Us?
Here at Company G, mature players with any capacity to fire a gun and stab at the enemy are welcome. We accept anyone willing to fight for the Stars and Bars. Our official uniform will be the "Columbus Guards" Uniform that was offered during the kickstarter campaign. HOWEVER, anyone willing to fight with us is gratefully accepted into our ranks. Officers will be promoted by seniority as well as merit, ensuring an experienced and skilled staff. We will adapt as the game is updated, possibly adding on small cavalry detachments as well as artillery.
Requirements
We are looking for mature players preferably 16+ in age.
This is a NA Company, so we will schedule events and training using the EST Timezone.
We need disciplined men to fill our ranks.
You MUST be willing to enjoy yourself at all costs, we want our company's moral to be as high as possible.
When Will Training Start?
Training will begin at the start of closed beta testing. If you do not have access to the closed beta, no worries, you will be trained by a designated drill sergeant who will get you up to speed as soon as the Steam Early Access phase begins.
