Friday Community Event

[Shiloh]

2 EST every Wednesday Line Battle Event

We had our first event last Wednesday (8-1-18) and everything went as well as could be expected for a first time event. Below I've put some basic rules and what I've been doing is posting in the chat during the event as much as I can asking pubs to find a line and fall in with them. We really need another Union regiment or two so if you're interested or if you know of any EU regiments that want to take part please let them know.

The more we get the word out, the more it will grow.

Basic event rules

- Line battles will be fought on Antietam maps (from 1-3 lines total) to start and as numbers for this event grow, we could have even more lines.
- In the event numbers are low overall, commanders can agree to fight non line battle events on Harper’s Ferry maps as an alternative.
- Miller’s Cornfield will not be fought, and Confederates will rush the point (without waiting 2 minutes) and cap so that map will advance to next. Union will wait in spawn until map is over.
- Both sides will stay out in the open during line battle events and not hide behind fences, trees, caissons, buildings, etc.

1pm est is too earlier for a lot of us even some of my EU guys don't get back home until 2pm est, that's even when some brits are still getting back from home, I would stay to your original suggested time of 3pm est or 2pm est at the earliest, just imo. wouldn't be much NA presence because of the early times.

Also, I'm coordinating a Discord call tomorrow at 2 EST to see if we can get company/regiment heads together to hash out with this event will look like. I've messaged each leader on Steam.

Warboy, were you able to get any guys together?

[Riversong]

Can anyone join, or is it for regiments only?

Thanks for coming Riversong and for falling in with the 95th New York during the battles. It was a good first event with 50+ guys at one point and I'll be posting back here with more info. ahead of next Wednesday's event.

Also thanks to the 95th NY, 18th NC, and II Corps (1st GA and others) who showed up to make it a good first event.

Thanks for your interest Capt. Krzyzanowski. The time is 2 EST and we'll be in there again this Wednesday. I've updated the first post with the basic rules of the event. Check your DM here on the forums. I've sent you a Discord invite.

Alright folks, week 2 of the Wednesday EU event is today at 2 EST/8 CEST.

Your Wednesday can be boring and filled with nothing inspiring or you can jump on at those times and instantly improve your day. :D

Just a rehash of some of the basic rules we're trying to adhere to:

Basic event rules

- Line battles will be fought on Antietam maps (from 1-3 lines total) to start and as numbers for this event grow, we could have even more lines.
- In the event numbers are low overall, commanders can agree to fight non line battle events on Harper’s Ferry maps as an alternative.

Beat those midweek blues with some good sharp fights today at 2 EST/8 EST. :D

[Shiloh]

I will not be there tomorrow as I'll be in Washington DC on business but the Wednesday event will go on as scheduled.

[Shiloh]

Thanks to everyone who came out this week to support this event!

I heard the numbers were good and the fights were solid and let's keep growing this by getting the word out to not only EU players, but to those in NA who have 'non'traditional' schedules.

Was a very nice event yet again.
Great initiative and hope it's grows in numbers

So post events on the Steam Group AND on here?

BTW there's been a discussion and it's very likely this event will now switch to 3 EST/9 CEST on Friday's.

[Shiloh]

After some discussions with the leaders of companies/regiments supporting this event, we've decided to officially move this event to Friday's at 3 EST/9 CEST. We feel it aligns better with people's schedules and there's a strong chance we can garner additional support from the handful of regiments who drill on that day and around that time.

To rehash, the Wednesday event will not be held this week, but rather will start Friday of this week.

Thanks everyone for your support and please come out if it works in your schedule.

Friday afternoon event in just 4 hours. Come join us for some spirited fights!

I should probably have one of the devs change the title of this thread to Friday Community Event.

Fun event today with the New Yorkers and 42nd PA guys, Warboy, 3rd AL and some II tags
Had some good numbers and some solid fighting

[Shiloh]

Alright, I've messaged some devs about changing the title of this thread to help avoid confusion but that hasn't happened :rolleyes: so I'm just going to create a new thread entitled Friday Community (EU) Event.

The Wednesday event is dead and this is the the event that has replaced it. Forum thread here.
