Crews & Regiments/Body

Rise through the ranks, support your fellow soldiers as a musician, artillery crewman, or surgeon, or stand firm as a line infantryman while your regiment clashes against others in organized and competitive events. Regiments are in-game groups (clans) that host and participate in both private and public events. These can include hardcore line battles, large-scale campaigns, ceremonies, melee tournaments, trainings, and more—each depending on a regiment’s traditions and focus. Players interested in organized, team-based play and competitive events are strongly encouraged to join a regiment.

What Are Regiments?

Community-run groups that:

• Recruit, train, and field players for weekly events.
• Use ranks, roles (infantry, artillery, cavalry, musicians, surgeons), and internal rules.
• Coordinate via Discord for announcements, voice comms, and schedules.

Why Join One?

Event Types

• **Line Battles & Hardcore** – Formation fighting, volleys, and discipline.

Choosing A Regiment

Consider:

• **Time zone & event days** – Can you attend most primaries?

• **Voice & platforms** – Most use Discord. Cross-play is supported; some units are PC-only due to mods.
• **Size & culture** – Small tight-knit vs. large multi-company organizations.
• **Promotion path** – NCO/Officer tracks, specialist schools, mentoring.

Expectations & Etiquette

• **Show up on time** and post **LOA** (leave of absence) if you can’t.
• **Follow event rules** (friendly fire, formations, chat/VOIP conduct).
• **Be respectful** to allies and opponents; represent your regiment well.
• **Trial periods** are normal—give it a couple of events before deciding.

Varies by regiment and event rules—ask the recruiters.
