Welcome To The Virginia Legion

The Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment, most commonly known as Rawlings' Regiment in period documents, was organized in June 1776 as a specialized light infantry unit of riflemen in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The American rifle units complemented the predominant, musket-equipped, line infantry forces of the war with their long-range marksmanship capability and were typically deployed with the line infantry as forward skirmishers and flanking elements. Scouting, escort, and outpost duties were also routine. The rifle units' battle formation was not nearly as structured as that of the line infantry units, which employed short-range massed firing in ordered linear formations. The riflemen could therefore respond with more adaptability to changing battle conditions.


"We serve to lead"

This is our motto. Our guideline.

It means that we're in this community and game as leaders. You serve in this regiment because we are a lead regiment. We lead in all aspects. We lead in respect, discipline, fortitude, cooperation, and combat. Everything written here is your bible. Learn it. Follow it.

You are subject to severe disciplinary action for any infraction contrary to this code.

✙ Respect - The most important creed. Respect yourself, respect the regiment, respect the community, respect your fellows, and respect this code. There will be no trash talking, amongst ourselves nor any other regiment members, officers, or pubs. Any hostility aimed towards us will be reported to an officer, but is not to be answered with retaliation.

✙ Discipline - The foundation of the regiment's performance. You will follow commands to the letter. You will not take it upon yourself to dodge, duck, dip, dive, or dodge. We function like a single well oiled machine. In events, you will only be pressing the keys you are commanded to press, like your peers on either side. And we will march to glory.

✙ Fortitude - There are no obstacles. We are like a mountain, firm and determined. We'll hold our ground and hurdle over anything thrown at us. I expect complete bravery in action and willingness to do what needs to be done; whether it is stand for an hour or charge an enemy horde. We are a mountain.

✙ Cooperation - The glue that holds us together. Work with your fellow rankers, your NCOs and your COs to keep us operating seamlessly. There will be no ongoing arguments or differences in the regiment. You will respect the views and opinions of everyone else. Because at the end of the day, you rely on your regiment mates' bayonet as much as your own.

✙ Combat - We strive to be the best. Our lines will utilize all the above creeds to make us the most maneuverable, the most accurate, and the most deadly lines on the field. We will train a lot. Because we do take this game seriously. You are expected to stay in combat shape by knowing the commands, and knowing the melee.
