Teotan regiments of the line

Having earned a reputation as cowards that have no problem with fighting dishonourably when their officers are not looking so is disiplinary actions more severe and more common amongst the men from Teotan than most other regiments and sadly so is beatings and floggings due to "dishonouring the uniform" not uncommon. However despite this so have the regiments shown that they are able to fight more than well in jungle which have resulted in them serving as jägare in their assignments when the 94th are posted in those areas.

Dishonourably?
Thats pragmatism, not dishonour

Honourable men usually end up dead. That is the difference between you and me.
So I might guess that you would use the Teotanes Regiments in dangerous jungle insurgencies?

Indeed I would rather die a man and have my death avenged by the men behind me than live a coward.
And no they will be sent forth on every front the 94th army is attached to where they will gloriously charge forward with lowered bayonets so they have no way but to act honourable.

If you want to win battles and skirmishes with the 94th Army, then let them fight their method. It shall prove much more effective then just bayonet charges. Also, that would raise the morale of the men, letting them fight like the tiger against the elephant.

Nonsense if they are unable to provide specialisation that would be compatible to the standard battle doctrine or useful in any specialised way for the moment for the trained federal officers they will receive then would they be ordered to fight as line infantry; with bayonet and with rifle.

Number of regiments: 3

Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): Sneak attack method(Sneak into enemy bases and destroy from the inside out)

Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes

If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: They wear Navy Blue Pants, with Black shoes. For the top they wear a red undershirt with a Dark Red overcoat for their medals. They always have a knife on their belt, along with a pistol, some paper and a pen.

do you have a nobility back home? yes

If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Yes

What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? North African, Like Northern Morocco
What is the main religion of your people? Islamic
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) They are known for quickness and effectiveness. They are not normal soldiers and do not charge head on at the enemy, they slip behind enemy lines and take out key leaders.

Banchao Light infantry regiments
Image

Even if some initial conflict arose between Federal officers and the officers of the Banchao Light infantry regiments over many issues such as the nonsensical idea that the common rankers of Banchao would be given pistols which ever person with any military knowledge of modern warfare know is something that should be reserved for officers.
However when the numerous conflicts where resolved so where the regiments quickly integrated into the royal guard where they now serve as raiders that attacks and captures enemy logistical shipments as well and interrupting their supply lines and serve as scouts and vanguards of the federal forces, a task which have gotten them branded cowards that cannot fight like proper men with the bayonet as modern military doctrine would demand from their forces.

To make matters worse however so have the officers of the regiment more than once volunteered to take out enemy officers, a idea that have been dismissed out of hand by the high command as it would only be cowardly even if the Banchao regiments have more than once disobeyed such orders to the irritation of their federal officers.

Number of regiments: 1, the 64th foot, or "The Heels".

Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): In line; opposing armies would meet on the field of battle, battalions would form lines and fire at the opposing battalion 'till one was forced to retreat.

Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Not very specific.

If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: In the regiment, just about all rankers wear cavalry men's boots, with prominent heels*. Olive green jackets are typically worn, and regiments normally use shakos**

Do you have a nobility back home?: Men of wealth and hire birth are considered of a higher status than commoners. So, yes.
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Undoubtedly the higher ranking officers would be, if not of noble birth, wealthy.

What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)?: WASP**/English.
What is the main religion of your people? : Oterran Catholicism. However, as almost all rankers in Oterro's army have been given a choice between the hangman's noose or the ranks, they are usually "without God". Those baptised, however, would be considered members of the Church of Oterro.
Is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar): Having shown "outstanding bravery in face of overwhelming odds" on several campaigns, the 64th are one of the more celebrated military units in Oterro. Their namesake, however, stems from a logistics error; upon receiving a supply delivery, the regiment found that instead of their standard issue boots, they had received a crate of exquisite leather Lancer's boots, enough almost, for the entire regiment. Due to the, at times ridiculous, clicking noise the regiment makes while marching, the name was bestowed, jovially, by fellow regiments.

*Not sure how you could draw this, perhaps just make them look abnormally tall? It's up to you, really!
**Not to say that this is exactly how the shako should look; t'was merely an example, in case you had never seen one. Anything on it is fine really, so long as it's of roughly the same shape.

Actually every regiment have access to the sharpshooter rifle and grenade launcher and one of each is given to each squad and the only regiments that do not use them is the sheildless that have their own equipment made due some rather good contacts in the court and those regiments that would be wealthy enough to buy their own weapons

Even that is unlikely, since his uniform is pretty much early 19th century military uniforms, which as well as looking ugly in brown, defeat the purpose of bright uniforms.

While yes they would be better in the hands of jägare regiments so would they still be too long and bulky to be considered as a main weapon which would be disadvantageous at close range fire fights.

The Anglo-Saxon Empire wrote:Even that is unlikely, since his uniform is pretty much early 19th century military uniforms, which as well as looking ugly in brown, defeat the purpose of bright uniforms.

While yes they do look not as nicely as most uniforms so are dull colours allowed in the 94th, even if they are considered cowardly.

Not in the guard they don't, beside what exactly do you mean with "unconventional warfare" it is a bit of a broad way of fighting you know.

Tyrannus Moria wrote:is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar)pretty much anything that will make them one of your best.

Being part of the high guard then? which as foreigners they would hardly be accepted into as a large force as the glory of being part of the most well dressed force in the world requires years of experience in the name of the king.

The heels

Inspired by units from their homeland so did the men from Oterro decided to wear high heeled cavalry boots which have made most soldiers raise their eyebrows as those cannot be that comfortable to walk the many miles the guard often find themselves forced to do. Even if their officer corps initially were under debate so where their protests quickly overruled by Imerian high command which so kindly pointed out that rich merchants are not noblemen and as a result not proper officer material.

But despite all these so have they so far served with distinction and earned glory on the field of glory even if most people jokes that their blasted boots makes them fall over if the enemy put up sticks and what not in their way as they are after all not designed to charge over rough terrain with a bayonet and a couple of grenades.

That is excellent, particularly the way you've done the shako and the alteration in colour on the plume. You also managed to get the heels on the boots on, well done sir, well done!

Number of regiments: 1, 39th Lancer Regiment, "The Blackguards"
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): Generally only uses cavalry to counter enemy cavalry, and as messengers and foragers.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: Not a very specific, but they wear navy-blue coat with yellow shoulder straps, grey breeches, black bicornes and have very long lances.
do you have a nobility back home? There exists some noble houses, yes.
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Yes, they can be anything from the officers to the regular soldier
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? German

is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) The Blackguards are most known for when they were captured by Oterran forces, but stole the Oterran horses and escaped without a single casualty, and from then on using the excellent, and abnormally large, Oterran horses. They were also involved in "foraging" behind enemy lines, and famed for striking the weak points in Oterran lines. When an Oterran Prisoner of War told them they were known as the Blackguards among the Oterrans, they took the name as a badge of honour.
