First Regiment of Foot Receives New Designation



Master Kardeef has magnanimously granted the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of Foot the new title of 

"Praetorians"  This was granted during a meeting of the Order of The Prophet on March 14, 1803.  The 

battalion posed for court photos after the announcement was forwarded to the northern frontier. 

 

The uniform is based upon Bavarian Napoleonic uniforms of 1815.  The coat is Daharan Blue for other ranks and Black for officers.  The first regiment has red facings shown on lapels, cuffs and turn backs.  

Companies are distinguished with colored plumes.  Grenadiers are of red, Light are of green and the other

companies are of light blue. 

Battalions are distinguished as follows:

1st Bn. red, green and blue

2nd Bn. red, green and light blue over dark blue

3rd Bn. red, green and light blue over white

4th Bn.  red, green and light blue over grey

5th Bn. red, green and light blue over yellow

Knapsacks are lambskin. bread bags are leather.  All webbing is white.  Helmets have brass fittings and chin scales.  A large comb is of black wool for other ranks and Bearskin for officers.


The official photos are still being carried from the northern front.  The delay can only be explained by a nefarious brigand by the name Server J. Error.  When this despicable person is captured and handed over to the Confessors for punishment, the photos will be recovered.

 Time for an Introduction I started to war-game with a friend in Jr High School back in the 1960's.  We made good use of the toy department at WT Grants Department Store.  In those days, ROCO mini tanks were sold for around 50 cents.  They also had plastic 1/72 scale planes and model ships.  We did it all for the 3 years in Jr High.   I continued wargaming all through high school and then entered the ROTC program in  college.  There I met Joe Fish ( pancerni@fish tales.blogspot) and began a friendship that has lasted since 1970.  A tour as an Infantry Officer in Germany led to a lot of solo games. During those times I kept a record of all the games thinking that at some point I would consolidate them into a narrative for my own pleasure.  Long about 1985 or so I created a fictitious country in the Atlantic that I called Dahara.  The name was derived from names of places on my other hobby, a model railroad All of the games I played, ...

THE IMAGINED DAHARA   I have made the decision to treat this iteration of Dahara as a separate entity.  In this way, I can keep the "Magic and Fantasy" aspect that I have introduced into our campaign.  I can then keep the "real" Dahara somewhat sane.  Here then is a map of the Dahara of the imagined campaign.  This Dahara is ruled by the Master of Dahara, supported by the Order of the Prophet.  The current Master is Benjamin Kardeef  the head of the House of Kardeef.   The next post will be as soon as I can.  I will have to take a break pretty soon, as I will be getting a new and improved metal knee. If I can, I will post photos of the 1st Regiment of Foot receiving a new color in recognition other service in the recently completed war against the evil K und K.
