"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."

"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. "

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 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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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 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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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. "

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!"

"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."

"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."

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!"

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! "

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."

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."

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."

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 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."

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!"

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."

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."
