FRIENDSHIPS THAT EXTEND BEYOND HOLDFAST

January 30th 2018

"The KRA is the perfect combination of serious game play and trolling (usually involving a tower of men). In the short time it has been around, we have developed a tight community that takes control of the leader boards and has fun doing it. Furthermore we have developed friendships that extend beyond the lines of Holdfast. No matter what a persons play style may be there is likely a place in this community for them, from organized line battles to fight club tournaments! I am happy to a part of such an inclusive community that is able to remain respectful of others. "

BE TREATED WITH RESPECT BY EVERYONE

March 14th 2018

"The community of the KRRC is very welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone, with a large diverse roster of 250+ people you're bound to find someone you really connect with but will be treated with respect by everyone regardless."

"The leaders of the KRA I have found to be incredibly receptive to ideas which is why we now have medals, a sophisticated rank system, events, trophy cabinet. Many of these ideas came from the community but more importantly were acted upon by the leadership team."

I HAVEN'T BEEN A PART OF A GROUP LIKE THIS ONE

March 19th 2018

"Hi guys, I joined the KRA [KRRC] when it was fairly new (around 50 members). I was very shy and didn’t talk much when I first joined because a group of 20 or so folks talking and playing together is a bit intimidating but once you take a chance and talk more, you see that they are all nice guys. I can’t give more praise to my friends who are on when I am. We have a great time and I hope to make a better effort to meet more of you EU folks during the weekends."

March 20th 2018

"I've been a member of the KRRC for about 6 weeks now. I was worried that my other gaming commitments would affect how I was treated within the group, but they don't care. It truly is a casual regiment for casual gamers that can't commit to a weekly schedule. They're just happy to see you show up when you can and enjoy yourself."

March 29th 2018

"Joined the KRA Regiment exactly 1 month ago today! Amazing clan, Fantastic community with an incredibly friendly vibe and the events aren't compulsory, you earn your ranks respectively which is nice too! i can honestly say that The KRRC is the best regiment in game due to its close community and respected views from everyone else in it too! Would definitely sign up with them if you haven't already!"

April 7th 2018

"The KRA is therefore an awesome regiment to join not only because it’s a casual regiment but because it’s leaders are some of the most experienced and dedicated players in HoldFast. Regardless of your play style or your level of commitment to the game, you will find a home in this regiment. And this is coming from a player who does not normally join regiments (or clans or guilds or cults or whatever you want to call a group of players in a game). "

I'M THANKFUL TO BE PART OF SUCH AN EPIC GROUP

April 17th 2018

"The King's Royals continue to develop daily, bring in new recruits and expand our community every single day. I won't go on a huge tangent about what we do here, you chaps can see that on the first page - but I'm thankful to be part of such an epic group, and to be genuinely excited to log on to Discord every single day to chat to the chaps in one of the most glorious gaming communities I've ever had the privilege to be a part of. It has been an incredible ride so far, and It's been my honor to build this foundation from the ground up alongside KJ."

CRAZY SITUATIONS WILL HAPPEN IN-GAME

April 23rd 2018

"It all started when I joined Col. Haybales line in a public game. He was inspiring the guys to play as a team, but not in a too serious way. A few other regiments asked me to join in which i saw no reason to do. but playing with the KRA line gave me a feeling i had to join this group to make Holdfast complete. No-one else had that funny characters at the time. In my first week here i was attending line battles, doing good on leader boards. Crazy situations in-game will happen when you follow these guys. "

I ALREADY LOVE IT HERE IN THE KING'S R.R. CORPS

April 24th 2018

"I've been in the KRRC for about 5 days.I already love it here. Everyone is so chill and casual, events are very well organized; and the leadership is so awesome and helpful."

"I don't remember when/how I joined the KRRC. But I do remember all the great times I have with members of this Regiment. Its very fun to be part of such a close-knit community and know such a great group of guys I am lucky enough to call my friends. "

May 11th 2018

"I really feel like these guys have done wonders to the community here in holdfast, who knows how many people like me have been and could be saved from the dark side of ear raping and a lack of skill by these fine chaps. The discord is excellently organised and there is always someone to play with, be it in holdfast public games, competitive linebattles or literally any other game."

May 14th 2018

"Seeing the rise of new members within the KRRC inspires me and gives me an incentive and understanding to my role within the regiment. The warm welcome i received in January by senior members of the regiment has helped me to build more confidence and friendships not only in the Rifle Company but in the regiment as a whole. I'm so excited to see how the game progresses and changes in the future and were the Kings Royal Rifle Corps will be by the end of the year. "

May 15th 2018

"Although I was not one of the first people in the regiment and people have been here longer than I have, I have still seen the regiment grow from 150 to over 300 members. Although you may say to me that there is no way that everyone in a group of 300 plus is a fun person to play with I would say you are right. I would say to you that they are not all fun to play with, they are a blast to play with. Everyone from both the Colonels to the newest Cadet is an enjoyable experience to play with and having people like all them to play with reminds me why at this point I have over 400 hours in the game."

EXTREMELY ACTIVE AND CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP

May 30th 2018

"Joined the regiment about a month ago and i don't regret it one bit. Its the third regiment that I joined and its been the most fun. Extremely active and charismatic leadership makes this regiment so successful. Its a very special community, so special that you can hop on the discord at 1 am and laugh your ass off listening to Haybales and Pickle Rick voice act Joker and Batman. I'm not even kidding."

THESE LADS HAVE BEEN GREAT THE PAST 4 MONTHS

June 4th 2018

"My Name is Quinton Lee, and this is my Story of the KRA! I first heard about this Regiment from my friend now commanding officer, Infantry Captain Helix on February 3rd, 2018. I promptly added General Lewis Haybales and requested to join originally the KRRC on February 4th, 2018, now the known as the KRA. These lads have been great the past almost 4 months that I've been here and I grow more and more fond of them daily from our cadets, all the way up to High Command. The lads in all our companies are great and we always have a great time together, joking around when able and being serious when needed."

MEMBERS WITH AMAZING PERSONALITIES

June 5th 2018

"Story Time! My name is James Longtree , as you might have guessed, and I joined The KRA in early January 2018. I always played with the different infantry classes so it was only logical that after my promotion to master cadet I joined the Infantry Company. There has been many changes since then, such as a new Captain, more ranks, we even had platoons at some point but that never changed the nature of the regiment. It was the casual nature that made me joined, no mandatory training's, optional events and welcoming members with amazing personalities."

June 16th 2018

"The men line up, breast to breast as the KRA do their best, staring down their enemies across the dunes, as the bagpipes wheeze playing their cheerful tunes. The French cower crying inside as their hope diminishes and starts to die, as they see red coasts standing tall guns raised triggers ready to pull, then bloody baguettes fall one by one knowing that the deed is done, It is over the battle is won though this has just begun no matter what comes our way the KRA will rule the day."

July 26th 2018

"Didn't take long until I got my training and started participating in events and playing public with the regiment. After a while I joined the rifle company and I really are proud to a part of it. Now some months later I can't thank the members of the regiment enough, it was along time ago I really enjoyed a game or even a community this much. There is a atmosphere in the regiment I really like. people are helpful, kind, welcoming and of course the humor In the regiment is spot on. I'm honored and thankful to be a part of the KRA."

June 27th 2018

"But in all seriousness the KRA and all the people a part of this amazing community is a breath of fresh air! Because of them I have opened up more and talking to people who I can call my friends and always get a joy out of the hilarious antics of all the people of the KRA it’s very welcoming and friendly and everyone is more than willing to help out in making you better and very supportive! I’m glad I joined."

I OFFER A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERY MEMBER

July 27th 2018

"Since joining the KRA my Holdfast experience has just kept getting better and better. I disclosed this to Rifle Company a while ago but am now comfortable telling anyone else that I suffer from (sometimes severe) bouts of anxiety and depression. This wonderful community of friends and like-minded individuals has been more of a help to me than you can ever know. As I do not tend to make friends and generally dislike being away from my home IRL, the KRA has allowed me to get the social interaction any human being needs without the added stress that real life can bring. When I've been down, there's always fun people around to lift my spirits and take my mind away from my troubles. And for that, I offer a massive THANK YOU to every single member."

I LOVE HOW IT'S "EVERYTHING CAN, NOTHING MUST."

August 31st 2018

"I’m normally a pretty shy guy, when it comes to communities. It been a long since time I was part of a bigger, English speaking community. I Had the game for a while, never really played it, because normally I only play such games with my friends. One day I stumbled over SovietWombles stream and later I just joined the KRA line battle event. It looked fun to do something organised.

That moment is now 2 months away and I never regretted it. The community is extremely welcoming and funny. I haven’t talked much but whenever I do I get a warm welcome, nice discussions and funny banter. I love how it’s “everything can, nothing must”. Even though there is this “family” feeling, in Linebattles the discipline is superb."

NONE BEAT THE 1st KING'S ROYAL ARMY

September 6th 2018

"My experience with the KRA has been awesome. KJ, Haybales, Jaynex, Helix, Pickle Rick, Fathers and more, all put in great effort to keep the KRA organised but all in the name of fun.

Best thing about the KRA is the members, coming from many parts of the world, we all love to banter, discuss random crap and argue about Football vs American Football which Haybales hates. Every new member is welcomed by a horde and is normally asked the most important questions including "Eggs, Fridge or Cupboard?"...

If you are looking to join a Regiment, there are some great ones to choose from but in my opinion, none beat the 1st King's Royal Army."

September 7th 2018

"I requested to transfer in and was accepted into the Infantry that day. I almost immediately felt at home again. Everyone was very welcoming. I loved the KRA's "everything is optional" motto as it was the same in the 89e. One thing that I really liked was the medals. They gave you something to work toward. When you looked at a player and he/she has tons of medals you knew that they had put a lot of time into that game. I quickly started hunting for a few of these medals as I wanted to stand out from the average new member. Within a few days, I got my hands on roughly 4 of the harder-to-get medals. As time went on I made my way up in the infantry. Today I've been in the KRA for 6 days shy of 3 months and I've moved all the way up to Serjeant. Its been a blast so far and I can't wait to see where things go in the future."

September 29th 2018

"I originally found this regiment on the Holdfast: NaW forums and saw the amazing intro that KJ made and decided to join. My very first training I attended was later that day hosted by KJ and I was expecting it to be boring, however I had fun and decided to attend more events. KJ helped shape the KRA into what it is and is one of the reasons I am here, he makes the Holdfast experience very silly and enjoyable. It's always a great time participating in one of KJ's lines such as the Hebrew Hammers. Anyways we all appreciate you in the KRA KJ, thanks for doing what you do to make sure everyone gets the KRA experience they signed up for."

September 29th 2018

"I bought this game mid May because I was a bored and it just looked interesting and I have played some Napoleonic wars and was really impressed with this linebattle thing. I tried Holdfast out and I tried to figure out all the chaos and music bots going on the public servers for 2 days with no really intention in joining a regiment. What is this game??? There is just chaos RP, and I found myself loving it and came back... Then on my what i think of third day I heard in the distance a guy who could be working for the Boston police waving the flag and telling the frightened enemies to get the f*** off his turf.. and behind him a deep voice roamed across the field addressing a crocked and slightly mowed-down-line aiming towards the enemy and I thought wow some organization. But I joined the "KRRC" which it was called back then. And now almost 6 month later I am still in the very same regiment/army and I did not think I would end up here the first time I bought the game. The community is the greatest gaming community and that goes to how its led and how the members interact with one and another, this quite shy Swedish 31 year old guy felt welcome from the very start and is very glad he found the KRA."

I HAVE DISCOVERED A COMMUNITY

September 30th 2018

"Like many people on this forum, I joined it hoping to locate like minded people to play with in a semi-structured environment. I initially tried to found my own regiment in order to create the atmosphere I was looking for, but after several weeks of stagnant progress my fellow regiment members and I were called to arms by an excellent regiment called The Kings Royal Army. They have welcomed me and my mates with open in arms and the past few days that I have been a member I have discovered a welcoming and open community that hosts and or takes part in several activities daily."

I'd JOIN THE KRA AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.

October 7th 2018

"On my first game in I had no idea what to do, but immediately heard orders barked expertly from one of the men of the KRA. It seemed these fellas knew what they were up to, so I googled them and jumped in their Discord.

Where to start ... the welcomes. So many welcomes. I honestly didn't expect everyone to be so instantly friendly - there's an immediate feeling of community before you even enlist. Some might initially think it feels a bit like a cult, then the next thing you know you're being asked to worship trees and you know it's a cult, but a cult full of some genuinely friendly people and not a poisoned cup of kool aid in sight! Seriously, I've been with the KRA for almost two weeks now and not once has anyone suggested a mass suicide. Anyway, I'm deviating from the point a bit now so I should probably focus on why I'd join the KRA again in a heartbeat."

JUST BE KIND AND THE COMMUNITY WILL BE KIND

October 2nd 2018

"This community is really one for each player that enjoys to play Holdfast or any other game with their friends, and I can confirm that everyone is being welcomed within this community to come and play within the server. Everytime you're playing, there's someone who'd like to play for you for sure. Just be kind and all the members of this community will be kind as well.

I am in my first days of playing Holdfast, and I could not wish for a better teaching process than the 1st King's Royal Army for sure. Their training sessions are so organised and they look so professional. They're also conducted by players who really know what they're talking about, so there's so much to learn about. If you're a new player to the game, this community is definitely recommendable."

October 9th 2018

"New recruit here to the KRA. Been playing 100 odd hours and the KRA have always seemed to be very good. Always at the top or towards the top of the charts. I finally gave in and gave them a go for the first time yesterday, and so far it's been a pleasant surprise! The first training session was good, well organised and informative. I've been swamped with people offering to help with this and that, already have an arty training session organised for this evening. The discord is pretty active and always has something going on.

So far it's been great, and I kind of regret not jumping in sooner..."

November 3rd 2018

"I love this Regiment! I bought the Game because I like Games that can be casual and be competitive, so when I saw that it was included in the Steam Halloween Sale i bought it. The KRA explained to me how to Shoot and taught me Line Battle Tactics. Especially the High Command and the Generals, who are happy to explain everything to you. Definitely would join if you are looking to experience the atmosphere of the Community. You don't even have to talk if you are shy, but I was shy too and after a Day i started to talk too."

November 4th 2018

"I remember playing holdfast for the first time, I heard the inspiring voice of Haybales over VOIP, after following him a couple of times I decided to join the KRA, as soon as I signed up I was greeted by about 20 people which took me by surprise. At first I was pretty shy and not very talkative, but after a while you will definitely consider everyone in the KRA a good friend. The fact that literally everyone is so positive and caring still surprises me to this day, if you are a newer player I definitely recommend joining the KRA."

A LARGE POOL OF EXPERIENCED PLAYERS

November 5th 2018

"Going into this clan I had high expectations, having been a member of several organised and competitive clans in World of Warships (Full Metal Poi & Pravda Kantai), but KRA blew all of my expectations away. I received event and basic training very quickly and right from the outset was encouraged to take part in a large number of events they have going on. I think I've already taken part in at least five organised events over the past week.

Everyone is super friendly, and there is a large pool of experienced players to learn from and shadow. The promotion and specialization aspects of KRA are also very enjoyable, giving me an extra incentive to try to improve my skills."

I WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY WITH THE KRA

November 17th 2018

"I officially joined the KRA on the 1st of October, after hearing Haybales leading a charge in a public game and i joined the charge. He said how to join and so i did that very hour. It was very quick. Everyone was very welcoming and I instantly felt part of the community. They taught me how to properly linebattle and play the game. They give out fun awards and it isn’t based all on skill, but on effort too. They make it easy to progress and anyone can get promoted just from playing the game. I will continue to play with the KRA and would recommend it to anyone."

I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH FUN IN A COMMUNITY

December 15th 2018

"So I have been in the KRA now for almost 2 months, and in that time Holdfast has gone from a game I would maybe have a round or two during the week to my main game. Within the last month I have got 100hrs because since joining this regiment I have been encouraged by the community to be active through events and enjoy their positive demeanor. I have never had such fun in a community since I played in an Arma 3 community. We have a blast in the public and private servers, we can be serious and laid back. If you are looking for a regiment that looks after its members, cares about the Holdfast community in general and you want to be a part of that, then the KRA is the regiment for you. "

December 26th 2018

"It's been about a week since I first joined the KRA with 87 hours put into this game and it has been quite a pleasant experience so far for me. I first heard about the KRA during a public line battle and it gave me an actual experience of Holdfast rather than people ear raping and shooting wherever they can. I wanted to join a regiment and give it a shot. Haybales was the one who invited me to the discord so I could get in. I became a Recruit and participated in almost all the events to get myself comfortable and got my ass kicked by the Royal Guards which in turn helped me learn about the melee and get a better understanding of it. So joining the KRA has definitely improved the fun I have in Holdfast."

December 26th 2018

"I bought the game over a month ago after seeing a lot of clips appearing on YouTube. After I bought it I quickly found out about organised line-battles and regiments. I knew I wanted more of the game than random public shootouts, so I wanted to join a regiment. The first day was a bit overwhelming. The discord server is extensive, but very well organised if you know where to go. You can ask anyone how the stuff works tho! I found my spot pretty well so far, after being a member for almost a month now.

The KRA isn't also just a Holdfast community. We chat about all aspects of life in our discord: gaming(not just holdfast, we play other games together too!), food, history, pets, politics and memes. Yes, we have all the memes. Praise be. So if you're looking for a warm welcome, a place full of friendly people you can play all kinds of games with, you've found the right place. It doesn't matter where you're from, we've got people from all over the world ready to be playing the game with each other."

January 1st 2019

"The KRA Discord is vast. Coming from much smaller servers it was a little overwhelming, but it’s logically laid out and with a little perseverance I managed to find my way. I started slowly, a public line battle here, an internal skirmish there. Every question I asked was answered quickly and with no judgement. Despite the rank structure no one belittled or acted superior to any others. In my first training I miss clicked and shot a Frenchman before given an order. I thought I was done, escutcheon blotted, out on my ear. Instead people laughed, took the mickey, and we carried on. It wasn’t intentional, so no harm, no foul.

This idea pervades the KRA; if you do your best and your heart is in the right place, they will welcome you with open arms. If you only play public great! you now have nearly a thousand friends to play too. Wanna play line battles? Awesome, here’s 26 events a week take your pick. Fancy your hand as crack shot with musket or cannon? The Rifle and Artillery companies want you. Whatever your play style if you enjoy Holdfast even a little, you will love it with the KRA.

I have been a Recruit and I have been a Cadet. I was a Kingsman and I am now a Quartermaster. From inhumanly friendly Hawaiians to hysterical drunk Swedes, from the generosity of Brits to the dodgy Scottish accents of Yanks and from insomniac Australians to the lyrically gifted of Singapore. At every step and in every Company the people are what makes the KRA shine."

THE KRA HAS GIVEN ME OPPORTUNITIES

January 1st 2019

"I regret absolutely nothing. The KRA has given me plenty of opportunities to both display the skills I already possess, and expand on those in which I am lacking. Furthermore, the community of members has been not only welcoming, but also willing to put up with my edgy jokes and jovial antics. I could not ask for a better regiment and I hope that those who read this join us if they haven’t already, as

There is nothing smarmy in the King’s Royal Army. HUZZAH!"

THEY FULLY SUPPORT EVERYONE

"Like a lot of people I bought the game on the sale over the Christmas period while I had some time to kill. While messing around on the servers I found the KRA members who seemed nice and helpful so thought I would give them a try to see what the game had to offer. I thought I would play the game for a bit and move on but little did I know that I would get sucked into the community that the KRA have created. There is a very broad range of people from all walks of life in the regiment and they are all awesome people promoting all the good things about playing with people over the internet. They fully support everyone and on top of that they are very active and have constant events all throughout the week which you can join in as much or little as you like. These guys are definitely worth giving a go or at least stopping by for a game with. I'm now hooked on Holdfast and slowly learning my left from right during the line battles."

WE HELD OUT VALIANTLY FOR SEVERAL MINUTES

"I have been with the KRA for 3 months now. Where did it all start? I had been playing the game by myself without a regiment for several months already but suddenly I ran into the KRA during a pubstomp. Our side was being throttled and we were on our last legs when suddenly a man by the name of Haybales formed a line with the remnants of our team. We held out valiantly for several minutes forcing the enemy to come to our position on top of the hill. Against all odds we won the battle. I decided to join the KRA a few hours later where I still am today."

March 7th 2019

"So where should i start? and what should i start with? i always loved old warfare games until ww2, i was a bit skeptical about this game at first, i thought this would not be so fun and it wasn't that is when i was playing alone but after i joined a reg and then i got play this game the way it is supposed to be played... with friends !! i believe everyone is my friend in KRA and they are the loveliest lads i've ever seen in any reg, and trust me i've been to almost all the regs when i entered the reg i was welcomed by very good hearted ppl. ive met and made very good friends along the time i've been in the events but the two most i adore and respect is of course gen. kenneth lee and gen. haybales. i've never seen a men like these two lead ppl into battle with such bravery and conviction. i can't say no more because i don't have enough words to define what i feel."

March 13th 2019

"I've been with the KRA almost 6 months now and not a single moment have I regretted the decision to join. Sure there are loads of other regiments with loads of different ways to experience Holdfast NAW, but none of them are as big as the KRA and work as hard to keep the community within the KRA fun and healthy. They're casual and laidback, welcoming and friendly and most of all, supportive. You don't have to be a melee-master or a sharpshooter to join. If you're a beginner, then they'll make you good, and if you're already good, they'll offer ways to make you better. Basic infantry training, melee training, marksmanship training, basic auxiliary training, and 1-on-1 training in all the different classes is offered! You can really explore all the different classes and find the class and playstyle that suits you. I joined being a regular guy not used to playing multiplayergames and after a month already I found myself playing almost on a daily basis with a awesome bunch of people!

I guess for me the biggest example of how the KRA is not 'just a bunch of plebs playing holdfast' is when the grandfather of one of the guys died. The grandfather was a Grenadier Guard and a veteran and meant a lot for this guy. A whole bunch of KRA members joined together in the private server, formed a guard of honor and fired a salute volley into the air to commemorate this guy's grandpa. The KRA is not just a bunch of people. It's a group of friends."

April 11th 2019

"Honestly, I don't like Holdfast that much. I enjoyed it once, but I've grown tired of it and I'm a bit burnt out. Yet I still regularly attend events and thoroughly enjoy them. Not because of how entertaining the gameplay is but because of fun I have with my friends. Did I really have fun shooting at Haybales for two hours? Not really. Though shooting Haybales is not the worst way you can spend your time. But I enjoyed spending two hours with some 40 close friends. This is what makes the KRA amazing for me, our friendship is what keeps us together; not the game we play. If Holdfast were to dissappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, we'd still be as close as we've always been."

WE'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE

April 14th 2019

"Since I started to play Holdfast, I've had somewhat of a difficult time to really find a community that I'd fit in with. But since joining the KRA, that problem has become nonexistent. From the incredible daily events to the community that's warm and welcoming beyond all belief, the KRA has given me home on this amazing game. So if you're ever looking for a group that's not only professional and experienced but also warm and always ready to help, you should check us out, we'd be more than happy to have you here!"

IT'S BEEN A MARVELOUS EXPERIENCE

April 14th 2019

"Bless this Regiment, as the first regiment I've ever (fully) joined, i have to say it's been a marvelous experience. The staff was very helpful in teaching me the basics of organised Holdfast game play and continues to support me and others as they progress into more challenging roles. The community is nothing else but delightful, they were all super friendly and welcoming and today they're a fun bunch to talk to and hang out with. There's no fear of higher-ups and the staff isn't patronizing over new players, you can always ask them anything and they'll be glad to help. For example me asking General Haybales for the logo of the KRA so i could make my signature, absolutely wonderful guy.

Long story short, i would definitely recommend the KRA for both new and experienced players! "

THE KRA IS A FORCE TO BE FEARED&ADMIRED

April 14th 2019

"I have genuinely never felt more welcomed by any form of online community, than I have from the KRA. I was drawn in by General Haybales as he stormed across the battlefields of Holdfast; inspiring charge and counter-charge. As soon as I joined the entire regiment welcomed me as one of their own, and I was offered every sort of training you could think of. The diverse and tight-knit community are great both on and off the battlefield, with cheery words and wise cracks aplenty. The special companies, whilst always light hearted rivals internally, combine magnificently wherever they go on Holdfast, making the KRA a force to be feared and admired."

April 14th 2019

"You like Napoleonic wars? Then this game is for you. With a amazing community, a lot of linebattles and great chances of having fun! One of the best teamwork games that I know. You need a officer to command you, line infantry to attack, a flag and a medic to support and cannoneers/rocketeers to relieve the pressure from other lines and other artillery piece. If you want the most fun just join ̶K̶R̶A̶ a regiment to participate in all the linebattles possible! Good Luck and Have fun."

April 17th 2019

"Joining the KRA was for me one of the best decisions. Ever since I joined 5 months ago, I made a lot of friends, that got me trough tough days and hard times . Whenever I feel down I just boot up the KRA discord and after 5 minutes of talking in it I feel so much better, so many great people and such a wonderful experience! Not to mention that the people I made in this regiment motivated me to do better in life and purse things that I genuinely like! I will be forever grateful for this amazing community!"

April 19th 2019

"One day, I was messing around on a public game, when I came across Rifle Major Fathers. He had a double rank of public players defending a choke point against the enemy, and I decided to join in. This is what I realized I had missed from the game, the community coming together to beat the odds and have fun together. I joined the KRA after that match despite being offered invites to other regiments, and I haven't regretted one minute of it. From the start the KRA has been welcoming and friendly to me and everyone else who joined. They're a great bunch of people, offering laughter, friendship, advice and well, we have Lamebear and Henno. It's people like these that are the reason I joined the KRA and I wouldn't change a thing. I consider them a family."

CONSTRUCTED. ORGANISED. EQUALIZED.

May 10th 2019

"I joined the KRA only two weeks ago, in that time I've had nothing but good things to say. Well; structured, organised, and equalised, making the experience all the better. I find no lack of things to do, there's always an event or competition to sink my teeth into with admins who're always happy to accommodate. Something I find rare too with communities is that it is truly a community, the KRA is a rare exception to that. I highly recommend any Holdfast player to give us a go."

I HAVE TO SAY A MASSIVE THANK YOU...

May 28th 2019

"I have played many different games over the years, but never have I been on a game with such a great community as the KRA. Since I joined a couple of weeks back not a single person has been anything but helpful and friendly. It don't matter what time of day it is there is always people around to hang out with and talk to. I've personally been through a hard time in my private life lately and I wouldn't have been able to move on with my life as well if I didn't have these guys to hang with every day. To all the guys in the KRA I have to say a massive thank you and to anyone looking to join us I know that you will be welcome in with open arms and hope that you will have as much fun as I have since I've been here. I hope to see many more people join and to be able to give back to these guys like they have to me."

THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE

May 24th 2019

"King's Royal Army (hereby referred to as KRA) is a unique experience of its own. First and foremost, KRA is highly organised and well structured to give you the best possible step in immersing yourself in the game of Holdfast. Everyone in KRA is very friendly and helpful, and they genuinely want to help you get better so that you can enjoy more of the game in an organised fashion. There are people from all over the globe, so there are always people to chat with when you are getting bored. From the very first day I joined, I was welcomed with open arms and I cannot wait to all the adventures I will get up to.

Thanks a whole lot KRA!"

June 17th 2019

"I can only express my happiness and joy to be able to come home everyday, play and interact with this amazing group of people. Nothing but a group of kind and passionate gamers that provide a casual and fun experience, whether it is playing in a linebattle or talking in the Discord, all experiences are pleasant and nice. I recently joined the Auxiliary Corp to a very warm welcome which I would love to thank everyone there for. I couldn't recommend the KRA more to any Holdfast player."

June 30th 2019

"The KRA is not only a really good Holdfast-regiment to join, no, it is THE BEST community I've been a part of since years. I've met many people here that I genuinely enjoy talking to and playing games with in general. Not to forget the massive amount of events, memes and more you will experience around holdfast. It is a blast!

Back when I joined, I kinda stumbled into the discord by google-ing for "KRA holdfast" since I saw these guys in public that much, got instantly greeted by Haybales, joined the Regiment and never regretted it. I mean, I didn't even know what I've done back then, it just happened " 'cuz why not ". And I still think it's the best thing I did since choosing my current RL job. If you're reading this and planning to join, and are unsure if you should: DEW IT! You won't regret it, I promise."

June 30th 2019

"Honestly, I don't think I've ever been in a community that has mattered to me as much as the KRA currently does. Me and an old friend joined the KRA back in September. We had accidentally joined on of the KRA lines in a public linebattle and had enjoyed it immensely. At the end of the battle a lovely and charming fellow by the name of haybales called out my friends name and my name and asked if we wanted to join. We both joined. I mean why not, ain't loosing anything by doing it. This was one of the best life choices I've made. Ive not had fun with an online community like this for years, in fact i'd be willing to say that its the most fun I've had in a community online.

On top of that the KRA is one of the kindest, most welcoming, and caring communities I've ever joined. About 2 months into being into the community I came out as trans to them and I've never had issue from it, the entire community supporting me in this. They've helped with so much of my life in the past 9 months. I've made so many good friends here. Not only that, The KRA feels like a family.

As said, Ive been in the KRA for 9 months now. I've gone from a Recruit to a 1st Lt., line-led at so many linebattles I've lost count, skirmished with some amazing riflemen, obliterated lines with cannons."

THE KRA, TO ME, FILLS A VOID I'D BEEN IGNORING

June 1st 2019

"If you'd told me back in April I'd be playing this clunkier-than-Arma Napoleonic mil-sim with some of the coolest, wackiest members of its entire community, I'd have been more than a little skeptical. The KRA, to me, fills a void I'd been ignoring for a while. I haven't felt so included and united in such purpose since my days, long past, playing ROBLOX clans. I look forward to further integrating with the KRA for the foreseeable future. I just hope the game doesn't die before I get to flourish."

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING AGAIN!

June 1st 2019

"I joined the KRA October 2018 after meeting Emperor in game as I was already looking for a regiment to join. I was super excited and remember the first thing i wanted to do when i got in was to find some training material to memorize as well as look for a linebattle i could attend.

I ended up coming back late June and now I'm looking forward to playing with the regiment again. Ambrose is back!"

I'VE NEVER LOOKED BACK SINCE JOINING THE KRA

June 1st 2019

"As I surfed through the many regiments on this website, one caught my eye. The KRA. I was new to the game and didn't understand much but I jumped right in anyway, and was greeted by some of the kindest, most fun people I've ever met. Since joining the KRA, I've never looked back and know without a shadow of a doubt, that my life would not be the same without it and I would recommend this regimen to anyone looking to get the most out of Holdfast."

June 2nd 2019

"So I am relatively new to the KRA — Community but I can tell you, your expectations are going to be met! I jumped into a regiment because I wanted more out of the game, a better experience and a community that has a good size, takes it seriously but not to an extreme. With this post I wanted to share an amazing experience that I had, just about 3 days in the KRA, for that I have a video for you at the end! I mean something like this will never happen if you don't join a regiment.

In the KRA I have already found the nicest, most helpful members you could ask for, and I am really overwhelmed by how amazing my only short time in the KRA has been! Thank you so much to everyone in the KRA for making such an amazing community!"

July 9th 2019

"Hello everyone! My name is Intheierestellar. I've joined the KRA around a week ago. All I can say is that the community is extremely friendly! There are a lot of people helping you if you have problems with the game, and tons of different trainings to overall improve how you play. The regiment is serious during line battles of course while still being fun to play with! You aren't forced to play either so you don't have to worry if you miss some events, of course you shouldn't be inactive but you can be more or less active and play at your own rythm. Overall a very good regiment!"

July 19th 2019

"For a long while I was quiet in channels. It took me a while to open up and really chat with others, and for a while I decided that I would just lay low and stay in the background. Just be there and be someone people can depend on to not be a nuisance or a problem. I figured I wouldn't do much except show up and play in the line. Let everyone else do the important stuff. These guys were making it easy to have a good time, and yet I found myself slowly trying to do more things.

3 Weeks after joining the regiment I decided to join the rifle company, and at the same time I was really starting to develop friendships with some of the other members here. I started coming out of my shell bit by bit, until I decided that I wanted to give back to the community that had such a positive impact on me. The officers here have done so much to help me have a good time, so why shouldn't I also try to help others have as good an experience as the one I had? After almost 4 months in the regiment, I became an officer in the Rifle Company. 1 year in the KRA and 1197 hours of Holdfast later and I haven't really looked back.

Any time I can help someone else out makes the entire time investment worth it. My time here has helped my confidence. I find it easier to talk to strangers now, and I've managed to make real and cherished friendships with people on all continents. I can 100% say that joining the KRA has had a noticeable positive impact on my life, and I only wish I could have done it sooner. "

I MET FRIENDLY, DEDICATED & SILLY PEOPLE

July 19th 2019

"Once upon a time, i watched a bullshittery of a Napoleonic era game. I liked the game but didn't have many more thoughts about it.

After many moons i stumbled about said youtubers stream and watched him live as he played holdfast. I decided to buy the game and play in that public event as well. I did and met a friendly cannoneer named KRA | Lischang who helped me learn the ropes and achieve some solid artillery wipes. At the end of the event, i heard a recruitment message of pack21 and thought, why not. So I joined the KRA that day and met friendly, dedicated, silly, serious and fun people all around. Now I am part of this organization and hope many more people will be able to further their enjoyment by joining a regiment."

THEY'VE HELPED ME GRASP THE GAME

July 29th 2019

"I only bought holdfast a couple months or so ago, after playing NW on mount and blade for a good few years in and out of various regiments. Played a few games and wasn't really getting the feel for it...something was missing. I happened across a public line battle, and when I entered I heard the voice of possibly the most enthusiastic line leader I've ever encountered. Instantly forming ranks with his line we mowed down the French over a bridge crossing, one by one they all fell to our musket fire, it was glorious. When I was told that the KRA was recruiting at the end I instantly joined and i'm so so glad I did. The community upon entering the holy discord that is the KRA official was the most welcome I've ever been made to feel and I'e never looked back since! they've helped me grasp the game and enjoy it all that much more."

I CAN'T WAIT TO STAY WITH THEM MORE AND MORE

August 24th 2019

"The KRA has been a great experience so far. Yea, I only joined a week ago but much has gone on. The Community was extremely friendly and welcoming once I joined the Server, (I think at least 20 guys said Welcome!). I took multiple 1 on 1 Training Courses to earn my Certificates which helped me learn the basics of Holdfast. There was a different NCO to teach me 1 on 1 how to play each different class such as Line, Rifles, Arty, Sapper, Engineer, Aux and Melee, these guys where extremely helpful and full of knowledge. Then there was the plethora of events that the KRA attended, this gave me something to do each and every day. It's truly been a wonderful experience and I can't wait to stay with them more and more."

September 14th 2019

"The people are indeed what make this community stand out, not just as a holdfast community. From the amazing officers and High Command, to the extremely friendly Royal Guards, to the OP Chosen Men, to the experienced veterans and OG's, to the simple yet efficient Infantry, Rifles, Aux and Arty, to the gone but not forgotten EIC boys and of course, to the Recruits, that always shine and prevail against all odds. Wherever you are, you will always feel at home with these lads.

I may never talk as much, recruit as much, train as much, or even play as much as any of the guys, but to me, all that matters is that i get to be a part of this amazing community filled with wonderful people who dedicate a large amount of time to keep the community moving forward, and who i greet, play and talk with everyday. So if you ever see an infantry weeb called ReX, running around the battlefield looking for his line, be sure to give him a good 'ol bayonet stab or cannonball to the face for me."

October 1st 2019

"I joined the KRA 2 months ago and it has been an incredible experience since that day. I was welcomed so kindly and the next thing I know I was a Recruit and started flying through the ranks. Enlisting myself in the KRA has been one the best things that happend to me in a long time. The training's I could attend really helped me improve in Holdfast and made my gaming expierence much more enjoyable! I really enjoy the structure and organisation and all the Ribbons and Medals you can earn. In the KRA there are people from all over the world and you can always talk to someone if you are bored. I hope to see even more people enlist and can higly recomend doing that.

Thanks guys for this awesome community!"

October 6th 2019

"I have been in the KRA for about 3-4 months and omg it has been the most greatest months. This group is a great group of chaps and they help with anything if needed. When I fist came I was a recruit and when I was private I felt that I belonged here. The group does bring that feeling that you are actually there like the ranks, events and more. I really like how there are many training systems going on like melee training and all that. Well Done!"

there's never a time to find the KRA lacking.

November 27th 2019

"Everything being optional gives a nice and casual air to the whole community; you can simply hop in and have fun, then call it quits when Holdfast inevitably frustrates you at some point or another. They'll be waiting to welcome you back, whether it be under fire from a cannon, playing the flavor of the week, or just one of the many training facilities they offer."

already found the regiment truly cares.

November 28th 2019

"I'd recommend this regiment especially if you are new to the game as the 1 on 1 trainings instantly boost your skill and knowledge. Once you join the discord server you will immediately be swarmed by members happy to help you understand the regiment. I've already had loads of fun in this regiment whether it be camping in a house listening to some piano bangers with the boiz or breaking our f*ing reloads. I hope to see you all on the battlefield shortly."

to get so many new friends brings joy.

December 3rd 2019

"Getting so many kills and able to rank up is great too. I also enjoy the way the ranks and awards are too. To see so many different kinds of awards ribbons, and medals are so cool. I plan on getting a lot of them while I'm in the regiment. I am very active as well and plan on doing great in this regiment and this community. To be able to play with so many nice guys and people is just really really cool. I am proud to be apart of you guys and will defend you guys to the death and make you all proud of me and help with this community too."

December 19th 2019

"I have to be honest, Holdfast bored me just as much as it did the first time, but there is something about being in a channel full of wholesome guards, curious infantrymen, rowdy cavaliers, spinning riflemen, friendly bombardiers, humble craftsmen, and meming musicians that has kept my sanity in this game and perhaps a bit in life. This is truly a one of a kind community that can only evolve with as many people as we've got. This is a place where I've made genuine friendships. This is by far the best community in Holdfast, and I'd say the best gaming community out there. Whatever drunken whim made Haybales & KJ create the KRRC/KRA was a very good whim. For I don't know how my days would go without this army anymore. I'm very glad I rejoined. Thank you KRA."

December 30th 2019

"Having now played just over 142 hours in the KRA, I think I can comment. Firstly, I'm not and never have been a 'gamer'. Bought a high spec computer mostly to handle Mountain Bike ride video editing, needed something to test it out on - stumbled across this weird, early access game, thought 'Well I love Napoleonic military history, that'll do' thinking I'd only spend an hour on it and then get a refund.

Wrong again, Pez.

What a great, fun game. Have somehow managed to get past 'recruit' with my bumbling enthusiasm and just love this game - and what makes it are the people who are the KRA. So glad I carried on playing, so glad I landed in the KRA. Looking forward to seeing how we all progress, together."

January 5th 2020

"Slowly but surely I was getting medals, and ribbons, and climbed up the ranks, all the while getting new friends in the KRA. I have also discovered tabletop simulator in this regiment and have had alot of fun there aswell. After a few months I got promoted to the rank of Serjeant, joined the recruiting staff and applied for line leading. The new responsibilities have been a rewarding experience and it feels great being able to give something back. My 2nd and 3rd month were my most active, and I remember being frustrated not getting Infantryman of the week. I was attending just about every linebattle some weeks and other events. But I quickly learned a valuable lesson, it doesnt really matter how much you play, or how well your doing in the leaderboards, what really counts is the community. And so I stopped being a tryhard, and my enjoyment of the game and community became much greater as a consequence."

BOTH WELCOMING AND UNDERSTANDING

January 21st 2020

"As for life within the KRA, it is very fruitful. After completing each of the 1 on 1 trainings that the regiment provides, I have gained a deep understanding of the various mechanics at work within Holdfast, and whenever I was struggling with a particular aspect,, my trainer was more than patient and expanded on the knowledge they would impart."

NEVER MET SUCH STRANGE, LOVING PEOPLE...

April 4th 2020

"To anyone who is reading this and considering joining the KRA - don't think about it, don't consider it -- just do it. I played for nearly 10 months of "maybe I'll join them some day" and my only regret is that I did not join sooner. You will be welcomed like no other gaming community will do. You will make amazing friends that may help you overcome issues from Holdfast related to even life related. It truly does feel like a very big (albeit dysfunctional in a sentimental way) family and I cannot recommend it enough."

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE KRA

April 18th 2020

"A lot like those who posted above, I recently joined KRA and have had a great time. The amount of activity and support is amazing. I have enjoyed being able to play some type of organized event every day. When there is nothing else to do, I am signing up for different types of training and being taught how to improve my skills in all areas. It is crazy that what the KRA leadership does is just for the love of the game and their community."

April 18th 2020

"I just transferred to the KRA from the 45e and already having a great time, the events are very well organized. Very welcoming community with everyone saying welcome when someone new joins. They are always there to help with any questions you have. The 1 on 1 trainings I couldn't praise them enough, they are a great tool to learn more tips on your class of choice. Lastly, the many ways you can play the game and you don't have to stick to one you can always transfer companies between infantry, cavalry, auxiliary, artillery, and rifles. I love the members in this group and experience the greatness of the largest Holdfast regiment in the game for yourself you won't regret it!"
