Hussars Events

14th birthday celebrations!

3 November 2016

Hussars Fourteenth Birthday Bash

Yes, it is that time again!

This weekend (starting from Friday) we are gathering to laugh, shout and generally extract the Michael on Teamspeak in recognition of the decade and a bit since we first gathered to do the same thing.
There are no firm plans to organise a specific game (although there has been a suggestion of attempting to complete a Heist in GTA V from start to finish), but just to join games as and when people feel like it (or not).

Please join us and join in the celebrations. Huzzah!

Our Troublesome Teens

4 November 2015

Yes, once again we reach the anniversary of the founding of our glorious clan.

As we hit the thirteen year mark we should raise a toast to all those still part of our online company and those who have added to our shenanigans in years past and are no longer with us. As always, we should remember the people responsible for the creation of the 1st Hussars clan – specifically Messrs Pte Niles (Baldric) and Major Headache (Flasheart), but aided and abetted by the like-minded and fumble-fingered folk such as Deadmeat (Miggins) and FanDancer (Proudfoot-Smith).

We are certainly nowhere near as active as we once were, but it is a testament to the community spirit that we created and maintained that many years after people have stopped playing the game that brought us all together, a core of us are still gathering regularly to take the mickey out of each other.

With that in mind, we will be gathering this Saturday night (from or shortly after 20:00) to take part in a group gathering in two parts:
Part The First: GTA V
Part The Second: Planetside 2

Anyone who doesn’t have GTA V is encouraged to hop on TS at some stage (if only so we can try and convence them to get the game as it is a damned fine and indeed fun gaming experience).
Anyone who doesn’t have an up-to-date version of Planetside 2 will need to download the game again as it has changed significantly since the demise of SOE. If you don’t have the game, please sign up for it as it is FREE – so there is no excuse.

Anyone reading this is of course considered part of our wider family and the invite is extended to them as well.

Yours respectfully,

Flasheart, Blackadder, Miggins and Agrajag
Co-Commanders, 1st Hussars

Happy birthday us!

4 November 2014

Today marks the twelfth anniversary since discussions between Messrs. Flasheart (Major Headache) and Baldric (Pte Niles) decided to fly in the face of received opinion and form a clan based not on competitive gaming, but on a desire to get together and have fun. It was (despite what they felt at the time) not the first such clan and will not be the last, but it was certainly a dramatic influence on an entire gaming community and would be so for years.

While many of those early recruits are no longer with us, a few are and despite many changes over the years, we have staggered on while many of our fellow clans have foundered. We raise a cheery wave with our fellow survivors from that battlefield community from many years ago and raise a toast to all those who have served with us in the past, who serve with us still and who will join us in the future.

Huzzah!

The Big ONE-OH

Comments Off on The Big ONE-OH

Players of the Battlefield series may have noticed that DICE is having a week-long celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Battlefield games, which of course started in 2002 with the release in September of Battlefield 1942.

Their celebration includes cut-price games from Origin, the re-release of classic Battlefield trailers and wallpapers and other such stuff from earlier games. Oh yes and lots of cake in their offices.

 

From our perspective of course, the 1st Hussars will also be celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, having been formed while playing Battlefield 1942. This means one or more special get-together events with games ranging from the old Battlefield games to the new Battlefield games and various other games we have enjoyed over the years.

 

More details will be available once we work out what the hell we are doing.
