What side should it belong too?

Union. The South won't have all the fancy toys, just rudimentary stuff.

Fine we can have a couple.

If we get enough people, and by that I mean a lot, we can open an armored platoon.

Fine by me. If you need any advice on the history or military organization, don't hesitate to ask. I am in the military after all.

[Jamessonia]

So how will promotions work?

If you display actions worthy of promotion you'll be promoted.

[Brissia]

So how will promotions work?

If you display actions worthy of promotion you'll be promoted.

By who?

Are there any medals, honorary 'Orders', special positions...

Also, are we a simple infantry platoon, or are we a special division?

[Dalria]

I want to join but I will be gone the next four days, too much will fly by :/

By the regiment.

RL Confederate medals, not sure what they were though.

A regular company, this isn't spec ops.

Also, just a heads up. If you do stupid stuff in a battle you'll get shot.

We may have the IC up by then, maybe not. Either way you're very welcome.

Accepted. Note, I am only accepting privates now.

[Jamessonia]

I'm only accepting privates right now, closer to the IC I'll choose a leader. I want it get an idea of how many people we're going to have for the first battle.

[Dalria]

Aw :/, I wanted to be something higher , guess I gotta go with what there is ..

Unfortunately, so does everyone else. We have 5 players I think, and no privates.
