Organized Events

Organized events are community-run battles that bring regiments and public players together across multiple regions (NA, EU, AU, AS).

For public event announcements see: Event Noticeboard.

Event Formats

Line Battle 🪖: Infantry, cavalry, and artillery fight in lines, emphasizing teamwork, volleys, and tactical movement.
Naval Battle ⚓: Ship-versus-ship engagements. Players crew vessels together, firing broadsides, managing sails, and boarding opponents.
Skirmish 🎯: Smaller, faster rounds prioritizing maneuver, shooting, and light-infantry play.
Campaign 📜: Multi-week, narrative or map-driven wars where outcomes influence subsequent battles.
Special / Themed ⭐: Sieges, historical recreations, training events, tournaments, or one-off modded scenarios.

Times vary by host; always confirm in announcements.

Join a regiment: Private events allocate slots by regiment and generally don't allow non-regimental players.
Public sign-ups: Players are not required to sign-up for public events, though it's highly encouraged that large regiments do so to help admins with balance and special allocation. Regiment leaders may get the "Events Enjoyer - Regiment" tag in the Holdfast Official Discord. See: Enlistment

Communities can host official or unofficial events. At minimum, plan for:

Server – Dedicated server with stable performance and correct config (map rotation, max players, pings/regions).
Staff – Admins; clear escalation for rule breaches.
Ruleset – Brief, readable, and pinned (formations, firing rules, ship limits, round/time caps).
Sign-ups – Regiment headcounts, special requests (Artillery, Skirmishers, Cavalry)
Comms & Briefs – Start-time, server/password, map list, faction balance, and any mod requirements.
After-Action – Screenshots, results, feedback form.

Some events use Workshop content or SDK-built maps.
