The year is 1802 and Major-General Arthur Wellesley has been dispatched to command a British Army in the second Anglo-Maratha War. Amongst his forces are the 33rd Hussars, newly arrived from Britain. The regiment is untested and untried. The regimental commander, the Earl of Northumbria, paid to raise the regiment and has so been given command despite virtually no military experience save for once suppressing a bread riot in York. The men who ride with him, both officers and enlisted men, are as untried as their commanding officer.

This is the story of the 33rd Hussars.

Out of Character Information
I have been debating or some time on creating an Roleplay and have opted to stick to something dear to my heart. Historical fiction. For those of you familiar with the Richard Sharpe book series, this is something similar, though without the joy of being an infantryman.

The general idea is to have our characters, mine will be the regimental commander, follow Arthur Wellesley's career from India and eventually into Spain to fight against the French. They will begin as suggested, as an untested, untrained, and generally "green" unit and slowly evolve into an elite fighting unit.

I am looking for five or more individuals interested in playing characters within the regiment. You can either be a common trooper, or if you feel so inclined you may play an leadership role in the regiment as an officer or a non-commisioned officer.

The storyline will focus on the engagements where the 33rd begin to make a name for themselves. Any large gaps of time in between will be filled by my own narration to keep us hoping from place to the next.

Any takers?
