Rise through the ranks and define your legacy on the battlefield. Whether you choose to support the line as a musician, man the heavy ordnance as an artillery crewman, provide life-saving aid as a surgeon, or stand firm as a line infantryman, the regiment experience is the definitive way to play Holdfast: Nations At War.

Community & Regiments

Experience Holdfast at its highest level by joining a Regiment—community-driven organizations (clans) that specialize in coordinated tactical warfare. Whether you wish to support the line as a musician or surgeon, man the heavy ordnance of the artillery, or stand firm in a disciplined infantry volley, regiments provide the structure and training necessary for competitive success.

What are Regiments?

Regiments are the backbone of the Holdfast community. These groups:

Organize Weekly Events: Participate in large-scale private battles (up to 150+ players) that are not available to the general public.
Maintain Professional Hierarchies: Use historical ranks and specialized roles to ensure field efficiency.
Coordinate via Discord: Utilize external communication for schedules, tactical briefings, and social interaction.

Why Enlist?

Tactical Depth: Move beyond the "chaos" of public servers to perform complex maneuvers, synchronized volleys, and strategic charges.
Regiment Prestige: Progress through a dedicated leveling system. Active regiments can reach Prestige Levels (Rank 70+), unlocking decorative banners and visual flair for the unit’s in-game registry.
Skill Development: Access "Specialist Schools" for melee mastery, advanced artillery ranging, or leadership training.
Persistent Campaigns: Engage in multi-week scenarios where every victory or defeat affects a persistent war map.

Event Categories

Event Type	Focus
Line Battles (Hardcore)	Strict formation fighting, rigid volley discipline, and limited respawns.
Campaigns	Narrative-driven events where results carry over to future battles.
Frontlines & Siege	Modern trench warfare or fortified defense with specific role-play elements.
Melee Tournaments	Competitive brackets focusing on bayonet and sabre proficiency.
Drills & Training	Weekly sessions to refine unit cohesion and individual skill.

Enlistment Process

Join the Official Discord: Access the Official Holdfast Discord and navigate to the #recruitment channel.
Filter by Preference: Look for tags matching your Region (EU, NA, OC), Primary Era (Napoleonic or Frontlines), and Vibe (Casual vs. Hardcore).
Submit an Enlistment Request: Search for the regiment's name in the In-Game Registry (Regiments Tab) and click "Request Enlistment." > Pro Tip: Sample DM to Recruiters

"Hi! I’m interested in enlisting. Region: NA (Eastern) | Role: Line Infantry / Artillery | Experience: 50 Hours (Public) | Availability: Tue/Sat Evenings."

Choosing the Right Unit

Platform & Compatibility: Holdfast supports full Cross-play. While most regiments welcome console and PC players alike, some "Modded" events are currently restricted to the PC (Steam) version. Check the recruitment post for specific platform requirements.
Commitment Level: Some units require attendance for 2+ events per week, while others are "casual-attendance" friendly.
Culture: Units range from "Realism" (using historical commands) to "Social" (focused on community fun and memes).

Expectations & Etiquette

Communication: A microphone is strongly recommended for organized events to hear Officer commands.
Reliability: Use the LOA (Leave of Absence) channels in Discord if you cannot attend a scheduled event.
Integrity: You represent your regiment's reputation. Respect the rules of engagement and the administrative staff during hosted events.

-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.
