[Timo420]

We will be there!

[LaBelle]

Interesting, hope it's a fun one.

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

Can't wait to see who will win :P

[Jagdmann]

I am convinced that arty will win this contention. At least I can foresee my poor Pvt. Fritz explode numerous times. :))

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

Private your main task will be to stand between me and every artillery explosion!


Common! Sign up! The Devs need more testdata of Harpers Ferry and that's a good chance to see how the map runs with organised units.

[Hinkel]

Where is the 2nd Corps and regiments like the 51st NY or 42nd PA? We need more regiments for a successfull testing on Harpers Ferry :)

[Timo420]

But hinkel don't ye know, the 51st NY is now the 5th NY! Don't you even know your own community? :p

*sound of breaking glass*

That explains a lot LOL

[Bravescot]

42nd will be coming.

[TrustyJam]

Closing due to request of the OP.

Thread re-opened date and time adjusted!

[csheffield1]

My only suggestion is to reschedule or hold another event the next weekend, considering that weekend is a very large or National CW reenactment, and I know many of the community who plans to attend. Seems like you'd have a better turn out in my opinion. Not trying to be rude, just saying that much:p

[von-Winkler]

The 18th North Carolina is ready for the bloody storm over the Shenandoah River

[Warboy]

Can't speak for my whole regiment or company but I myself will be there to represent the CSA and 1st Georgia!

You are very welcome.

We seem to have a proper amount of men that will show up. After this event we will try to plan a more NA timezone friendly one on the Antietam servers.

[Ross]

95th New York are happy to be there.

[Reznikov12]

The 1st NJ if we can fit would love to participate. I can guarantee that we can bring 10 members if that is okay.

Thank you for joining Captain von Platen!

Added your unit to the main page and have sent you a PM with some details

[Jackan]

Will the entire event be played on harpers ferry or will we switch to antietam at some point?

[Moonman]

8th VA Company F will also love to join in the event
Sincerely, 8th VA (F) Capt.Moonman

We will focus only on Harper's Ferry this time. Our next event will be again on the Antietam maps which are more friendly for our idea to divide the forces into 3 groups 2 lines 1 skirmish.

Asked was if we could set up a event to test the Harper's Ferry map and thus we are trying to deliver that.

[Dutchconfederate]

Very happy you are joining the event!

[Warboy]

I don't know how many 1st Georgia are coming if any(they may be late), but if I'm the only one what regiment should I fall in with?

[Dutchconfederate]

I would suggest the regiment that needs the manpower.

Like Dutchconfederate said, we'll see when people are in what regiments/attack groups can be formed :)
For us EU players it's great to have an more EU oriented event (usually we have both and during the weekends it's less of a prob)

Right on sounds good, I will see you guys in-game an hour from now ;)

[von-Winkler]

Nice event, but very exhausting. House fighting is organized chaos.

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

was a great event. much much better as I expected to be honest :D

[Timo420]

Great event guys!

[Wilhelm von Straussberry]

Damn, can't believe I missed it because of work. Hopefully you guys will be able to host another one soon.

[Dutchconfederate]

Very organized and hard fought event.
Thank you all who joined! Next one will be on Antietam

[Wittmann]

Really enjoyable event thank you all.

[Warboy]

Very fun event guys!!!! one question though, I thought we were going to change sides after half the event was over, anyways was still fun and a great turnout at one point we hit 142 players!!!!

[Dutchconfederate]

Thank you both for joining
Indeed that was the initial idea before they added two more maps. I must say 3 maps where plenty of action, enough for most . We can't wait to produce another event on the fields of Antietam!

[Jagdmann]

A bit late but also want to say thanks for the event organization and also for the great leadership of the commanding officers who participated. I enjoyed the River Crossing First battle the most and in the end it was a Real Close one. I do not Really enjoy the Other two maps but for a change These are nice too. I am looking forward to Antietam Events to come and say again thanks to the organizers! o7

Great to hear, glad you where apart of it. We are planning a next event for the Antietam maps!

We will be there again ;)

[John Cooley]

We've explained this before. The majority of the II Corps is still at work at 4-5 PM on a week day. NA companies would be happy to participate if our schedules were taken into consideration. Until that time, these are effectively EU-exclusive events.
Which is a condition that, sadly, we contend with in every MMO ... Time Differences can dictate many things ... the least not being Event Attendance.
Two events on the weekend days is helpful but I swear half the TKs are from sleepy soldiers. lol
