KÄMPFE FÜR SIGEL! KÄMPFE MIT DEN GERMAN RANGERS

https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8402/28402535444_167fff0342_o.png



Die 52. New York Infanterie, Kompanie A, sucht nach tüchtigen deutschen Brüdern im wehrfähigen Alter, um unsere neue Heimat und die Republik zu verteidigen! Du bist bereit mit Sigel und uns für die Union zu kämpfen?
Dann melde dich hier (http://www.warofrightsforum.com/showthread.php?781-52nd-New-York-Volunteer-Infantry-quot-German-Rangers-quot-or-quot-Sigel-Rifles-quot-Company-A) freiwillig!

Historisch war die 52. New Yorker Infanterie eines der wenigen Regimenter, welches ausschließlich aus Deutschen bestand. Wir legen Wert auf Realismus und historische Authentizität. Dabei darf das Roleplay nicht fehlen um das Feeling komplett zu machen. Selbstverständlich sprechen wir Deutsch, allerdings werden die Befehle auf Englisch gegeben, allein schon weil es sich "richtiger" anfühlt und wir so auch mit anderen Kompanien gemeinsam funktionieren können.
Jetzt aber nicht abgeschreckt sein, weil das Englische nicht so gut sitzt. Das sind einfachste Vokabeln, die auch ganz schnell in Fleisch und Tastatur übergehen. Wir haben einige tapfere Recken in unseren Reihen, die kein Wort Englisch sprechen, aber im Schlaf die Befehle umsetzen können!

Natürlich darf auch neben dem ganzen Realismus der Spaß nicht fehlen und ich darf versprechen, dass der definitiv nicht fehlt, denn eine gute und familiäre Atmosphäre ist uns wichtig.

Ich freue mich schon, dich in unseren Reihen begrüßen zu dürfen, Rekrut!

Nice video guys... I hadn't seen that before now. It brings attention to the German families that were living there at the time like the Poffenberger's, Miller's and Otto's for example. It reminded me that I saw this book recently on Amazon.

Yes thank you Shiloh, gotta take a look at this!

https://i.imgur.com/H6SXK8X.jpg

The 52nd last week went out as Garibaldi Guards. As nice as the uniform came about... well I can`t speak for all "German Rangers" BUT I do definately look forward to tomorrows drill in a ...let`s say more manly kinda tunic. :cool:

See ya´ll on the Battlefield fellow Sufferers of the North and South!

PS: Devs. may want to take notice of the "Flag bug". It appears, also with our 52nd flag, that if you join as bearer other players only see the flagpole with some rag around it but no flag. Respawning the flag bearer makes the flag mostly be visible to other players.

Of course and I have it on my list as well as I live just 10 minutes from there and would love to know the history of the farms.

Very nice... now if they can only get some rifled muskets they'll be able to fight as good as they look!

i, Patrick O'Conner have applied to join the 52nd New York.

Volunteer O`Conner, you are hereby accepted among the ranks of the brave 52nd New York State Volunteer Infantry. You will share a tent with another new recruit Steven Johnes. I am pleased with the way you mastered your first drill and school of the Soldier last friday. Keep that up and one day you may become reknown Generals of the Army. Until then keep all your gear and tunic in the best condition.

The 52nd also welcomes two soldiers of veteran status who cured from disease in hospital. Welcome back in the firing line Privates Hetzenauer and Schulte.

Furthermore the 52nd New York took part in a battalion drill conducted by companies of the Eagle Brigade this last saturday. We enjoyed the drill a lot and are looking forward to the next field meeting with our brothers in arms.

As this post seems a bit dusty with absolutely no media-input, I found this little piece of teasing material from last jear. Enjoy! o7

Dear 52nd
I am a recent newcomer, and am interested in joining, however i do have some questions:
1) Do i need access to the alpha to join? I have only donated to Sargent tier, though I am considering raising my pledge.
2) Are there mandatory weekly meeting or drills? My schedule is fairly hectic, and while I would love to attend all drills, I will most likely not be at liberty to join them all.
I apologize if these questions have already been answered, I searched the first few pages but found no such matter addressed.
Best wishes and the best of luck! Make Uncle Sam proud!

Promotion

http://i.imgur.com/oaVTyGo.png

We congratulate Corporal Adolph Fritz on his promotion to Sergeant.
His work on the field and his commitment for the 52nd are unique and indispensable for the rank as Sergeant.


https://i.imglol.de/Sgtfwd1clti.png


We wish him all the best for the future and are happy to have him at our side.


With the best regards from the officers of the 52nd New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment

[Jagdmann]

I want to express my deep gratefulness for the trust being put into me with the promotion to Sergeant among the 52nd N.Y.S.V. Infantry. I feel greatly honored being part of this fable Company and will do my best in achieving the duties of a Sergeant in the future. I will never let this great Company with all its great men down and I hope that sooner than later more future German Rangers will find the way to our fine Platoons.
I remember the first Drills and Events where I took part in the beginning of the year and I can only say that being with the 52nd did make me addicted to WoR in a positive way. Honestly I wouldn`t know if I would play the game regularly if I would not have met the 52nd. I thank all of the men in the Company for many very entertaining evenings on the Drill grounds and battle fields and am looking forward for even more.

Special thanks go out to 1st Sergeant Leonhard, whom I am much obliged, as he was the man who effectively made a Sergeant out of a bloody greenhorn Volunteer. Thank you John! And also thanks to the officers and NCOs of the Company who are all amazingly kind and a fun group to be part of.

OK enough of the sentimentalism and back to the firing line,

yours respectfully,

Sergeant Adolph Fritz

Huzzaaahhhh 52nd New York Huzzzaahhhh

Congratulations Sgt. Fritz and best of luck moving forward!

Congratulations Sergeant Fritz. This promotion is well deserved. You are very active and you and 1st Sergeant Leonhard keep the company running without any problems. I can concentrate my time and minds on our general course for our company and community with the knowledge that you too keep our company alive and active. I thank you both for your great effort.I will not let you go, even if von Winkler continues to beg and I know you would never change the side to fight with those Traitors. You guys are the best what a Captain can wish to have in his Staff and Company.

Finally the regimental flag in it`s whole beauty is now in the game. Our distinct red and white color flag shall always guide us to victory and shall strenghthen the will of our brave soldiers. Again we thank Gianluca for designing this wonderful piece of art and the Devs. for helping this dream of our company come true and also Mrs. Francesca Klein for her perfect embroidery.

Other than that today we had a nice drill/event together with our beloved enemies of the 18th North Carolina and soon you shall see the results of our efforts today as we were visited by a very special guest tonight. We are all looking forward to the outcome, Sir.

Also the men obeyed the order of "aiming for salute" as Pvt. Kevin Morris was promoted to the service level of Regular Pvt. among the A Company. Congratulations!!!!

I take the opportunity to say thanx again to Saris for working twice as hard for the episode of "our" 52nd NY in the "Fighting Regiments". It was nice to work with you and a very exciting experience to voice over the german edition. Also I thank the Company leaders for their trust I would not fuck this up too hard and as far as I could hear (officially) noone seems to be disappointed too much with my part of the work.
So thanx everyone involved and I hope the series will be continued and get the attention it deserves by the community.


Congrats and such a nice Video German Rangers!

Back to the bloody earth


After a call for help from the militia soldiers of Pennsylvania reached the camp of the Army of the Potomac, the 52nd New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment was sent to end the smaller skirmish at the Antietam.

https://i.imglol.de/20181027204929_1mq7flpew.jpg


Shortly afterwards the troops, tired from the battle, were prepared for a rapid march to offer support to the few soldiers.

https://i.imglol.de/20181027211127_1f1ln2tp4.jpg


Not forgetting the images of the Battle of Antietam, the still grieving troops found themselves on the battlefield.

https://i.imglol.de/20181027221646_1ek30e50l.jpg


Less than 200 men were found on the battlefield. The battle lasted only 30 minutes, but the dried blood was covered with fresh blood.

Drei Jahre im Dienst der Union


Nun ist es endlich soweit, die 52nd New York bewährt sich jetzt schon seit drei Jahren auf den verschiedensten Schlachtfeldern in War of Rights und das sollte man auch gebührend feiern dürfen. Wir freuen uns, dass wir solange schon ein Teil dieser wunderbaren Community sein dürfen und sind Stolz darauf, die am längsten aktive deutsche Kompanie zu sein. Damit gehören wir zum alten Eisen und können auf eine Menge Erfahrung zurückblicken. Es ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit drei Jahre in einem Spiel aktiv zu sein, welches sich noch in der Entwicklung befindet. Diese Leistung ist nicht einem einzelnen zuzuschreiben, sondern die Errungenschaft vieler, welche sich für die Community eingesetzt haben.

Nur gemeinsam können wir unsere gesetzten Ziele erreichen.

In den letzten drei Jahren konnten wir als Team höhen erklimmen und tiefen durchstehen, wodurch der Zusammenhalt stetig gewachsen ist. Zusammen arbeiten wir an der Verwirklichung eines Traumes, einer Vision, wie wir dieses Spiel erfahren und erleben möchten, wie wir uns in diese großartige Community einbringen sollen und was wir uns stets selbst abverlangen, um mit uns zufrieden sein zu können, aber auch gleichzeitig den Spielspaß und die Freundschaft zu fördern.

Wir ziehen nicht mit dem Gedanken an einen Sieg um jeden Preis ins Feld, sondern versuchen unseren Mitgliedern einen möglichst immersiven und relativ historischen Einblick in die Linieninfanterie des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges zu bieten.

Gemeinsam haben wir schon bereits drei schöne Jahre genießen können und freuen uns auf die Zukunft, denn wir sind zuversichtlich, dass wir allem und jedem widerstehen können, solange wir die Front halten.

three years of service

Now the time has finally come, the 52nd New York has been proving its worth for three years now on the various battlefields in War of Rights and one should be allowed to celebrate this properly. We are happy to be a part of this wonderful community and are proud to be the longest active German company, so that we can look back on a lot of experience and It is not a matter of course to be active for three years in a game which is still in development. This achievement is not attributable to a single person, it is more an achievement of many who have worked for and with the community.

Only together can we achieve our goals.

In the last three years we have been able to climb higher as a team and get through all the bad times, which has led to a steady increase in our cohesion.
Together we are working on the realization of a dream, a vision of how we want to experience this game, how we want to get involved in this great community and what we always demand of ourselves in order to be satisfied with ourselves, but also to promote fun and friendship at the same time.

We don't go onto the battlefield with the idea of a victory at any price, we try to offer our members an immersive and relatively historical insight into the line infantry of the American Civil War.

Together we have already enjoyed three beautiful years and are looking forward to the future, because we are confident that we can resist everything and everyone as long as we hold the front.

Vielen Dank für das Angebot, Captain - gerne würde ich dies wahrnehmen und gerne mit Ihrer Erlaubnis vorbei schauen.

Moin, habe gehört, dass das Spiel am 03.12.18 bei Steam startet. Meine Frage ist, ob ich als Kickstarter Unterstützer (Private) dann auch schon spielen kann oder ob es wieder nur Alpha- oder Betastart ist?? Wenn Alpha oder Beta Start, wann würde es denn für alle los gehen? Gibt es schon einen Termin? Danke! Gruß Sturm

Nein, der private bezieht sich, meines Wissens, explizit auf den finalen Release, also "wenn das Spiel fertig ist".

Am 3.12. Erscheint es im Early Access auf Steam, also noch nicht in der finalen Fassung. Es wird, vermutlich rund 30 Euro kosten, was vermutlich auch der finale Preis sein wird.


Ich hänge mich mal rein und werde für dich recherchieren, ob du ebenfalls mit Zugang rechnen kannst, aber ich vermute leider nicht. :/

[land_79]

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort! :-)

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort! :-)

Gerne. Aber wenn du auf Nummer sichergehen willst, dann reicht es theoretisch aus, dass du auf den Corporal upgradest, dann bekommst du Zugang ohne es dir auf Steam kaufen zu müssen.

Hey all,

I have noticed about a year ago I was removed for being inactive, like, a lot. The main reason was that I wasn't able to make time and put the special effort that was required. And the other reason at the time while the game did perform better. It still crashed and I couldn't deal with it with frustrated me like mad. So I forgot about this game and only remembered it months and months ago of an email saying I was honourably discharged. Which I kindly thank Roy Winters. But I also felt extremely out of place in a German-speaking group, there were English speakers and those willing to speak in English. But I knew it wasn't meant for me, but I still want to thank Paul Frank for giving me a chance, and I still remember him asking if I wanted to hang out...but I couldn't afford to fly across or get work to have to time off. I noticed the regiment now speaks German, which I know will bring true and swift communication.

It was an honour to meet any of the old members still here and wish luck to the newest.

This was Siegfried Hardon AKA Mr Hardon...stop sniggering boys.

Farewell!

Hello Captain,

thanks for visiting the Forum again and you are always welcome to the TS if you want. Still most of us are more or less able to speak in tongues :) But yes it is correct, we decided to only recruit german speaking players since some time now. Just let me/us know if you need the TS data and such. Cheers mate!

Last weekends drill again saw some promotions among the German Rangers. The Company Staff congratulates all honourable men who got promoted!

Furthermore some service level promotions have been awarded:

Veteran Kevin Morris made the service level of Ranger among the 52nd NYSVI
Pvt. Michael O´Keefe made the service level of Regular among the 52nd NYSVI
Pvt. Jonas Clarke made service level of Regular among the 52nd NYSVI
Pvt. Ignaz Steinheart made service level of Regular among the 52nd NYSVI

The Drill again was instructive and exhaustive to keep the 52nd a well drilled unit among the Union.

After the Drill the 52nd entered the skirmish against our enemy-ours the 18thNC. In a very welcome change of behavior because of some manually map "rotations" the 52nd found itself in some amusing men-choirs and round-fights in the midst of some cap points. Some very welcomed hoax!

The two rounds of skirmishes brought us again two victories. In the East Woods it was 42ndPA Recruit Cottons bravery that saved the Union from an otherwise perfectly deserved victory by the forces of Hell. The second skirmish turned out to be a well deserved Union victory. We do thank all the participating companies and loners, who helped make this a great evening for fans of WoR!

This weekend saw the brave 52nd New York as dirty barefeet soldiers of the South. But let`s start from the beginning.

The whole Drills of the weekend had been themed towards the grand Batallion Drill of the "German Volunteers" Community this last Saturday. Thus the Company drilled the columns of fourth and the company into line out of that very formation. The company leaders have been very pleased with what they saw and the 52nd was as ready as Lincolnites can possibly be to leave civilisation behind and slip into those tatters that them Planters call uniforms.

Fridays Company Drill was completed by some more very well earned promotions among the Company. The Company Staff congratulates all Promoted!

Promotions in service levels have been:

Pvt. Desmond Mendes made the service level of Regular among the Company.
Pvt. John Biek made the service level of Regular among the Company.
Pvt. Otto Dallewitz made the service level of Regular among the Company.


On Saturday the grand Batallion Drill among the "German Volunteers" was a complete success and every soldier was very excited and pleased with the outcome. The Batallion consisted of 4 Companies. Those have been the 52ndNY as 1st Company followed by our brothers in arms the 2ndWI as 2nd Company, the 18thNC Comp.A as 3rd Company and the 18thNC Comp.G as 4th Company. The Drill consisted of a wonderful dress parade and afterwards some movement in columns of 4th by every attending company. Then the companies fell from the columns of 4th into line. All these formations have been executed in the best manner by all companies. With a wheeling the companies ended up in a nice formation to start the firing drill. It was an eye-opener to see the Batallion working together that perfect and the Salvo by the Batallion was enjoyed by everybody. After a charge over plain field the Batallion came together for the final ceremony.

The 52nd New York thanks the Legion Staff and all Officers of the TGV involved for their engagement to help make this event as great as it turned out to be. We are looking forward for the next Batallion Drill. This time on the US Drill Camp and with less holes in the uniforms.

Thanks for your reading,

Respectfully,

the German Rangers

The 52nd New York honors 1st Sergeant John Leonhard for all his commitment towards the Company during his carreer among the German Rangers. For his merit he got promoted to Quartermaster-Sergeant of the Regiment. CONGRATULATIONS!

https://i.imgur.com/K2fELm2.jpg

On a personal note, we hereby honor QMS Leonhards devotion towards our community. Sadly he cannot any longer be an active member of the 52nd but he definatly still deserves a place among our unit as he was an outstanding member of the German Rangers with a high reputation and a real friend to some of the company. We will miss you Brother! And you know you are always welcome!

The 52nd New York saw some serious and organized battles entangled in the "Grand Campaign" organized by members of the 1st South Carolina Infantry. We are very grateful to be part of these Events and are happy to fight with and against new friends from over the pond. Salute to all participating Companies of the "Grand Campaign".
This being said, we are also keen on playing again with our European Brothers in Arms of the UEC. These fine Events have come to a halt to a certain degree because of the participation of "The German Volunteers"-Companies in the "Grand Campaign". But "TGV" found a solution to revive these most excellent Skirmishes now held on the fridays. The Rangers are extremely looking forward to fighting at these Events again.

Gentlemen,

anbei ein Auszug aus dem Kriegstagebuch der 52nd New York Volunteer Infantry über unsere Gefechte vom letzten Samstag-Event. Viel Spaß beim lesen.

"Sir,

Ich habe die Ehre zu Berichten, dass wir von der Belastungsprobe der vergangenen Tage ungerührt am Morgen des 14.September unter der Führung von Captain Paul Frank in glänzender Ordnung antraten. Gemeinsam marschierten wir mit je einem Platoon der 20th New York „Turner Rifles" unter Captain Max Weber sowie den 3rd US Regulars unter Captain Paul Sinclair und 8th US Regulars unter Captain William Carney.
Ziel war ein befestigtes Lager der Rebellen auf den Bolivar Heights. Unseren Spähern zu Folge befanden sich die spärlichen Reste des 1st North Carolina Rebellenregimentes dort, nur noch 480 Mann wurden ausgemacht. Captain Paul Frank schwor uns darauf ein die Scharten der vergangenen Tage auszuwetzen und nicht eher Halt mit dem Gebrauch unserer Präzisionsgewehre zu machen als dass die Rebellen bis auf den letzten Mann niedergeschossen seien.
Den 20th New York „Turner Rifles" war die Ehre zu Teil den ersten Schlag auszuführen. Die 52nd New York Company A bildete gemeinsam mit den 3rd US Regulars die Hauptstreitmacht, die 8th US Regulars verblieben am Morgen noch in Reserve.
Wir rückten in der Deckung des Waldes an den Fuß der Bolivar Heights heran und vermochten es gar ohne Entdeckung durch den Feind den Hügel empor zu steigen. Das Lager erreichend, gerieten wir unter leichtes Feuer was jedoch, Gott sei's gedankt, keinen Schaden in unserer Linie anzurichten vermochte. Zentral nahmen wir Aufstellung und sandten den Rebellen bleierne Grüße gesiegelt mit Pulver und Feuer. Die Feinde fielen wie das Korn unter der Sense. In kürzester Zeit war das Lager unser. Captain Paul Frank ließ uns Zeltreihe für Zeltreihe kontrollieren und das Lager umstellen. Tatsächlich hatten sich die feigen Sezessionisten zurückgezogen, um sich zu sammeln. Jegliche Gegenangriffe erstickten wir erfolgreich im Keim.
Hervorhebend erwähnen müssen wir die ausgezeichnete Leistung und Moral der gesamten Einheit der 52nd New York Volunteer Infantry, Company A. Von den Offizieren und NCOs trug nicht einer von ihnen keine Verletzung aus der Schlacht und doch führten sie unsere Einheit durch diesen Kampf und darüber hinaus. Die erfahrenen und nachgemusterten Privates bewiesen eiserne Disziplin, niemand hatte eine Doppelladung im Lauf oder schoss seinen Ladestock auf den Feind. Der Private Henry Forster aquirierte dem Captain gar voll Kühnheit eine neue Uhr aus der feindlichen Offiziersmesse.
Als das Blutbad endete, zählten unsere Feldscher 379 Rebellen tot oder gefangen. Es müssen aber 30 tapfere Mannen der Union als tot oder verwundet gemeldet werden.
Gegen Mittag rückten wir in den nahegelegenen Ort Harper's Ferry ein, um ein Feldlazarett zu errichten und den Männern eine wohlverdiente Ruhepause zukommen zu lassen.
Doch schon zum Nachmittag erhielt Captain Paul Frank die Nachricht, dass der Feind uns keineswegs ausruhen lassen würde. Captain Frank ließ uns sofort antreten und schärfte uns ein, dass wir den Ort unter allen Umständen werden halten müssen, um die eroberte Stellung und noch wichtiger das eingerichtete Feldlazarett zu verteidigen.
Am Abend des 14.September nahmen wir folglich im Ortszentrum Aufstellung und besetzten eine Stadtvilla, die uns Überblick über die einzige Kreuzung gewährte und uns damit die einzigen gangbaren Zuwege nach Harper's Ferry kontrollieren ließ. Keine Minute zu spät, denn kaum dass der letzte Soldat die Tür hinter sich geschlossen hatte, erreichte uns krachend das erste Geschoss der Rebellen.
Scherzte ein Squad der 8th US Regulars, das sich in der Küche des Hauses verbarrikadiert hatte, noch darüber sich erst einmal mit vorgefundenen Vorräten zu verpflegen, so wurden sie rasch in die Realität des Gefechts zurückbeordert. Das Haus zählte bald ein hundert Mal mehr Löcher als Fenster und in jedem Zimmer, im Vorgarten und auf der gesamten Kreuzung türmten sich die Toten und Verwundeten. In Regimentsstärke rückte der Feind unablässig gegen uns vor bis eine unnatürliche Ruhe einkehrte. Wir hielten Stand, Sir, ja wohl wir hielten Stand! Bis zu diesem Moment, an dem ich abgestellt wurde, um Ihnen diesen Bericht anzufertigen, dauern das Aufräumen und die Arbeit im Lazarett an.
Wir müssen 21 Mann tot oder verwundet melden. Zu erwähnen ist nochmals die Kampfmoral und die Disziplin jedes einzelnen Mannes der 52nd New York Volunteer Infantry, Company A, die alle trotz Tod und Verderben tapfer ihren Dienst bis zum Ende taten. Gott der Herr segne diese Männer, er segne die Armee, er segne Sie, Sir, er segne den Präsidenten, er segne unsere Union!

Untertänigst verbleibe ich Ihr ergebener Diener,
William Meyerhoff, Private, Company A, 52nd New York Volunteer Infantry an den Kommandeur Brigadegeneral Israel B. Richardson, 3rd Brigade, 1st Divison, 2nd Corps, Army of the Potomac"

4th Anniversary!!

https://i.imgur.com/eXdr5De.png


four years ago, our 52nd New York was founded by me, with the aim of a good and orderly unit in War of Rights. After a long journey through Napoleonic Wars and North and South, the authentic and realistic War of Rights was a true oasis.

Our journey began with the 66th New York, 42nd Pennsylvania, 20th New York and 1st New Jersey Artillery.

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/753718610864318299/CAC9342EA91F68D81CC81AC6EA866A55ADBED541/

Over the past four years, our unit has changed greatly from an international unit to a German-speaking company.

Together with 1st New Jersey and 20th New York we founded the German Volunteers, a community for all German-speaking units in War of Rights.

From the very beginning, we attached great importance to drill and line infantry. Since then, we've been improving all the time.


https://i.imgur.com/pZ6SJL1.png

I'd like to thank all the helpers of the first days, without whom the project could not have started. Wess_Hudson who made many nice videos. Archangel, who provided a temporary forum and Teamspeak. DavidDire, the first sergeant of the unit, who helped me to put together the training plan.

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/766100671602635247/417C182105C1AA5BA6CBAE7B8BFBD18F028BD57C/

A big thank you to Roy Winters, John Leonhard, John Smith and Adolph Fritz, without whom the 52nd New York would never have become what it is today:

A wonderful community of players and history lovers!

52nd New York Infantry -
Excelsior!

Fünf Jahre 52nd New York Infantry "German Rangers" in War of Rights
https://i.imgur.com/PIpWqTA.jpg

Voller Stolz feiert die 52nd NY am 09. November ihr fünftes Jubiläum im Spiel War of Rights. Es ist ein langer Weg, den wir mit der Community und den Entwicklern dieses Spiels mit dieser hervorragenden Vision einer neuen Art von FPS gegangen sind. Durchaus nicht immer nur zufrieden mit der Spielentwicklung, stehen wir doch weiterhin hinter dieser Idee und erfreuen uns an jedem Update, das da kommen mag.

Fünf Jahre... das ist auch ein kleines Kunststück in Hinblick auf die Community-Arbeit intern und es sind nicht nur die COs und NCOs unserer Einheit, die das 52. so lang schon mit Leben füllen, nein es sind eben auch und vor allem diejenigen Mitglieder die gemeinsam mit uns als einfache Soldaten in der Kampflinie stehen und sich an unseren historisch genauen Formationen und Befehlen erfreuen. Denn das ist es, was die 52nd New York wohl doch zu einem hohen Maß ausmacht; das historische Nachempfinden der Linieninfanterie zur Zeit des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges mit allen Vor- und Nachteilen. Seit der Gründung der Einheit vor nunmehr fünf Jahren, wurde höchstes Augenmerk auf die Recherche der historischen Befehle gelegt und es ging nie in erster Linie darum, Gefechte um jeden Preis gewinnen zu wollen, sondern einfach um die Art und Weise wie ein Sieg errungen wurde oder eben eine Niederlage eingesteckt. So sei als kleine Randnotiz erwähnt, dass die "German Rangers" inzwischen über ein über 50-seitiges Drillbook verfügen, welches in den Drills vermittelt und in den Gefechten auch angewandt wird.

Die "German Rangers" haben während dieser langen Zeit nicht nur die schönen Seiten des Lebens gesehen sondern durchschritten auch so manches Jammertal. Mal explodierten die Memberzahlen und manchmal waren die Mitglieder an einer Hand abzuzählen. So ist es eben auch ganz einfach schön, dass wir heute dennoch den fünften Geburtstag unserer Einheit feiern können.

https://www.warofrightsforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9597&amp;d=1540073 846

Hier soll auch Platz sein um etwas zu unserer Fahne im Spiel War of Rights zu erzählen:

Genauso wie die historischen Einheiten hat auch unsere virtuelle Einheit einen ganz besonderen Bezug zu ihrer Regimentsfahne. Im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg, kam der Fahne eine immens große Rolle zu. Sie war der Sammelpunkt der Einheit, sie trug in vielen Fällen die “Battle Honors” der Einheit aufgestickt für jeden sichtbar, also die Schlachten an welchen die Einheit teilgenommen hatte. Und auch die Gegner kannten die einzelnen Fahnen der gegnerischen Regimenter und konnten so ausmachen, gegen wen sie antreten mussten.

Zunächst ist festzustellen, dass es sich bei der Fahne der 52er um die wohl einzigartigste Regimentsfahne während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges handelt. Sie ist die einzige Fahne mit zwei verschiedenen Seiten. Auch wenn nicht 100%ig historisch belegbar, so kann doch darüber spekuliert werden, dass die weiße Fahnenseite, welche die Lady Liberty auf einem Adler sitzend mit der amerikanischen Fahne in der linken und der Verfassung in der rechten Hand darstellt, dem Bataillon der “German Rangers” (Kompanien A-G) nahe steht, während die scharlachrote Fahnenseite mit dem in Gold eingestickten Namen des Regimentskommandeurs Col. Paul Frank im Lorbeerkranz und dem Beinamen des Bataillons der “Sigels Rifles” (Kompanien H-K) eben diesem nahe steht. Wie dem auch sei, es ist eine ganz besondere Fahne und jedem der sie im Pulverdampf und der Hitze des Gefechtes sieht wird das Herz weit. An den Fahnenrändern sind weiterhin Eichen- bzw. Lorbeerblätter und die “Battle Honors” der 52nd New York eingestickt. Auch die Stickerei ist erwähnenswert, stellt sie doch eine außerordentliche Anstrengung der Spenderinnen dar. Weiterhin waren die meisten Regimentsfahnen lediglich bemalt.
Die Fahne wurde der Einheit am 31. Oktober 1861 im Zuge einer Parade von einigen Damen aus Brooklyn als Geschenk überreicht. Die 52nd sammelte sich in diesem Zeitraum auf Staten Island, New York. Im Rahmen der Fahnenübergabe hielt ein gewisser Richter Reynolds eine Festrede, in welcher er von der Ehre und Hingabe all jener sprach “die von einem anderen Kontinent zu uns gekommen sind” und die “dem Land eine weitaus höhere und stärkere Treue erbieten, als sie durch einfaches Geburtsrecht erwachsen kann; und sie zementieren diese mit Blut.” Nach dieser Rede, hielt auch Colonel Frank eine Rede auf Deutsch und es wurde für die begeisterte Menge exerziert. Neben der Regimentsfahne erhielt die 52. auch ihre Flank Markers während der Zeremonie.

Auch in unserer virtuellen Einheit haben wir eine ganz besondere Beziehung zu “unserer” Fahne. Sobald klar wurde, dass die Einheiten in War of Rights ihre Fahnen bekommen sollten, war uns klar, dass wir eine der ersten Einheiten sein wollten, die ihre Fahne in die Schlacht tragen können. Da abzusehen war, dass die Fahne der 52nd sicherlich keine zu hohe Priorität bei den Entwicklern, mit ihren begrenzten Mitteln an Man-Power, darstellen würde, denn die Fahne ist doch relativ schwierig nach zu designen und die 52nd keine allzu hoch beachtete Einheit bei der Playerbase ist, hatten sich einige ehemalige und auch noch aktive Mitglieder entschlossen selbstständig einen Designer aufzutreiben, der die Fahne nach den Vorgaben der Entwickler designen würde. Dieser wurde gefunden und auch gefunded und so hatten wir in der Tat unsere wunderschöne Lady Liberty als eine der ersten Einheiten im Spiel. Wir sind den Spendern sowie natürlich auch den Entwicklern sehr dankbar, dass dies möglich wurde.

Five Years of the 52nd New York Infantry "German Rangers" in War of Rights
https://i.imgur.com/PIpWqTA.jpg

The 52nd NY takes pride in celebrating its fifth jubilee in the Game War of Rights.It was a long way we went with the community of WoR and the developers of this game with it`s outstanding vision of a new kind of FPS. Not necessarily always content with the games development we still second this great idea and vision and enjoy any update which is thrown at us.

Five Years… this remains a feat also regarding internal community-work. It ain't just the COs and NCOs of our unit who fill the ranks of the 52nd with life; no its foremost those members who are standing fast in the Line of Battle as enlisted men and enjoy the historically correct formations and orders. And it is this that represents the 52nd New York in the first place; the historical understanding of the Line Infantry during the times of the ACW with all its pros and cons in the game. Since the foundation of the unit now five years back, always full attention was paid on the research of the correct historical orders and it was never about winning engagements at all costs but simply about the way a victory was gained or a defeat had to be accepted. In this regard a side note shall be put as the “German Rangers'' currently adapted a 50-page strong Drillbook which is mediated in our Drills and also executed in the Battles we take part of.

During this long time the “German Rangers” have not always been on the sunny side of life but have gone through some miserable times too. Sometimes member count exploded and other times we could count our combattants on one hand. Thus it is just the more pleasing that we can celebrate the fifth jubilee of our 52nd today.

Now some words about our flag

As with the historical units our virtual unit has its particular relation concerning the regimental color. In the ACW the flag had an immense meaning on and off the battlefield. It was the rally-point of the regiment and it bore the battle-honors. Also the enemy knew the respective colors of the opposing regiments and could thus make up whom they would have to fight.

Historically the flag was gifted to the 52nd on October 31st 1861 during a parade by some dames from Brooklyn New York. During that period the 52nd was trooping on Staten Island New York. In the course of this parade a certain judge Reynolds held a speech where he spake of the honor and devotion of all those “who came to us from a different continent” and who “offered the country a much higher and stronger loyalty than could ever arise from simple birthright; and they are cementing it in blood.” After this speech also Col. Frank held a speech in German and there was more exercising for the excited crowd. With the regimental colors the 52nd also got their flank markers in this ceremony.

Even with our virtual unit we have a particular relation to “our” flag. As soon as there was rumor that the units in WoR should get their respective flags we knew we wanted to be among the first units who would be able to carry their flag to battle. As it became clear that the flag of the 52nd would not be prioritised too high as it is a rather complicated flag and the unit not that well-known we decided to start our own backing project in this backing project. We found a designer who was able to create the flag according to the specifications by the devs. The result was then handed over to the devs and it was implemented to the game and we were indeed happy to be among the first units to carry their flag into battle. We are still very grateful to the willing backers and the devs too for making this happen. It is still a milestone in our development in the game.
