1. Human Cavalry Event - Pics online.

[Glorian]

To Clear the two different Regiment Events up I have made a separate Thread here.

It seems like a lot of people like so far the Reiksguard Knight Idea with a massive cavalry charge.
So welcome to the first Event of this kind:

The Human Cavalry Event - aka Knights of the Iron Cross Event.

Key Points:
1. It will be a human Event. So every human career is welcome. But strong Focus on KotbS and WP.
2. It will be a cavalry Event. So every member should need a 5g Mount or 15g Mount. The 15g mount is to be preferred.
3. We will need a name for it. <-DONE
4. We need chat macro commandos which are understandable for a lot of people. But we shouldn't overdue it. 3 Commands at the max. On the Horses/Follow me/Charge!. Only with more flavor. <-DONE
5. Really Light RP. No need for any backstory. Just restrain yourself from using internet speech and talk to other characters like you think this is real and not an mmo.
6. Don't take it to serious.

Concerning the Cavalry Charge I need to make some field tests. Main Idea is to charge in a broad front.
For inspiration, watch this video from 3:27.

Or this one, Riders of Rohan, always a classic:

Event Leaders:
The Event is for the first time planned by me. For ingame Terms I have build a KotbS named Meinhard.
The central Guild for this Event are the "Knights fo the Iron Cross", their leadership has changed and I will add additional Infos once I got them.



So if you want to get in contact try talking to me (Lesti/Meinhard).

Orders:
While at the event there will be orders issued by me to lead the Warband.

1.
Knights of the Iron Cross! ... Angriff!
//all move forward at maximum speed and get into contact with the enemy. If we are in an cavalry formation try to stay at a broad front. Angriff = Attack.

2.
Knights of the Iron Cross! ... Mir nach!
//This order has several functions. It generally means that if you are fighting you should loosen yourself from contact and get back into the Formation. If we are standing in an Formation it means you should look where I'm going and follow me. Mir nach = follow me.

3.
Knights of the Iron Cross! ... Aufsitzen!
//Get on your horse and be ready for action. Aufsitzen = mount.

So the 5. Engineer Event is over, and in the first three total WB kills we would have survived maybe, If we had some Cavalry Melee Support.

My initial thoughts was to make the Cavalry Event separate, but actually it is exactly the 3rd Bitterstone Thunderers would have needed yesterday. When the Destros have taken on the Bait, a decisive Charge on their smaller flanking Group would have broken them.

But as we say in the empire: if/might/would. It's time for some real battleworthy test.
So parallel to the next Engineer Event on Wednesday, the 05.08. at 8pm (gmt +1) we will meet at the T2 Warcamp.

Timezone:
Gmt+1 is Altdorf Time -> see here.

Where:
T2 Warcamp Troll Country.

What you bring:
You are playing a human character. WP and Kotbs prefered, but WH and BW also fine.
You have at least a 5g mount. Better to have a 15g one to keep up in the formation.
You are willing to follow orders and tolerate light roleplay.

Who is in Charge:
Hauptmann Meinhard, Knight of the Blazing Sun from the Guild Knight of the Iron Cross.

Shedule:
20:00 - 20:15 Setup, gather players
20:15 - 21:00 March training, Combat Advance, Full Gallop Charge, Regroup
21:00 - 22:00 We join the 3rd Bitterstone Thunderers in the oRvR as the savior of the day.
around 22:30 End of Event.

Please answer in the Poll if you would like to attend.

Language:
The main language is still english, but as the warhammer empire is actually german speaking expect me to build in some german words. But I will not overdo it. Promise.
So the three Orders have german words in them and your positive answer of my Orders is acknowledged by you on a german sentence. Please build therefore a macro saying:

/say Jawohl, Herr Hauptmann!

//Meaning Yes, Sir Captain!

For the moment of Charging at full speed into the destro scum you can use this macro with the motto of the Reiksguard Knights:

/say For the Emperor!

Status so far.

4 players have Signed here that they will join, and two have confirmed it online. One of them the high performing Gleaming example of an KoftBS named Halhammer.

I'm leveling Meinhard as fast as I can. So I'm hoping that WE then can charge in lvl 20 mount style.

[Glorian]

So my Human companions! Meinhard Bluecher has reached lvl 20 yesterday, so that we can charge today in style.

[Joan]

Y'all ready for da WAAAAAAGH?

[Kragg]

Just watch out where you charge at

[Joan]

Hah! Krumlok will charge straight into the dwarf line!

[Glorian]

Hah! Krumlok will charge straight into the dwarf line!

That is also what Meinhard would suggest.

These lowly infantry dwarfs should suffer the casualties so that the knights of the Iron Cross could earn their righteous glory!

Here is a first quik report of the 1. Human Cavalry Event.

We were 4 participants plus me. The usual size for a Warhammer Cavalry Unit.
Training began outside the Warcamp and the Knights confirmed their Orders.
I trained them in the five basic Orders and we trained them several times.


As there was some Time before the RvR we scouted and took the Ruins in one quick strike.


A fast gallop to the warcamp to catch up with the dwarfs.


And at 9pm we gathered with the 3rd Bitterstone Thunderers.
Some arranged trash talk earlier between the foot-slogging dwarfs and the noble knightly order included.


After that we rode into Combat against the orcs and the first server crash of the day. But that is a story told better by the Video.

Coming Soon....
