In War of Rights you can join a volunteer unit and stand in a line and shoot at targets like every other recruit around you with no say on your movements or tactics, or join the Sharpshooters and have the freedom to move about, use natural cover, recon enemy positions and movements, and hit the enemy from where they least expect it. It's our job to pick off enemies from distance, harass whenever opportunities present themselves, and hit hard when we have the advantage.
Being a Sharpshooter is a very freeing experience from line battle tactics. We want the BEST marksmen the Union has to offer and if you're not there yet we'll get you trained with our unique marksmanship drills.
We don't believe in boring drill. We drill like we fight in-game using moving targets, by practice in tactical skirmish formations, we scout maps and practicing marksmanship from every distance and angle until we're all expert shots.
In-game we're stealthy and a good balance between aggressive and sensible in our tactics and seek out the enemy wherever they are.
We're a small group who makes a big difference through teamwork, and great communication. In the process we have a lot of fun in-game and like to keep things looser as it is a game after all and we're all good friends.
Come join the 2nd USSS and become a part of an elite team of Union Sharpshooters hell-bent on making a difference for our side through the bushes, behind the rocks, along the fences, and through the creeks of the Antietam battlefield.

On to new recruits and promotions.
Welcoming in Rct. Jackovich Lambada to our band of brothers. Rct. Lambada is our second man from Denmark and even though he his halfway around the world, he'll be shooting plenty of Confederates on this side of it with one of these.
Also I have seen fit to promote Emory Upton to the rank of Private. Upton has always been solid member of our team and one hell of a shot but due to computer issues (which we figured out as a group), he is consistently back to his deadly work out in the field. Congratulations to Pvt. Upton!
After about 2 months of being a part of this amazing company, I thought it would be fitting to help some of the new players looking for a company get an idea of what we're all about. When I first volunteered to this company I had little to no experience whatsoever, but over the last two months I have grown to appreciate the marksmanship and tactics behind a Sharpshooter company. We're lucky to have some amazing command members, 1st. Lt Clark and Captain Winn who always put their men first. Everyone in this company is willing to help each other out with just about anything you could imagine. There's nothing more satisfying than a successful flank on the confederates and seeing the impact that such a small company can have on some large scale battles. The 2ndUSSS.H is more of a family than a company and I will always recommend this company to anyone.

We had two new recruits with us tonight, Recruit Lambada and Recruit Burgg. They did an excellent job, killing multiple Reb officers and flag bearers. If you are brand new to War of Rights and looking to join a company, click on our recruitment poster and come fight with Company H!
A hearty welcome to Rct. Seth Burgg to the merry band of Sharpshooters of the 2nd. He was trained up quickly by Pvt. Meehan and proved to be an excellent shot right off the bat. Live long and prosper Rct. Burgg.
Good job on your first event Recruits Burgg and Lambada! 1st. Lt. Clark took a screenie of some of your handiwork.

I'm proud to welcome Rct. John James Wolfe and Rct. Johnathan Sheffield to the 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters. Sheffield was with us and performed well at Pry Ford last evening fighting like a veteran.
