7th Cavalry Gaming

The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, often referred to as "7Cav" is a long-standing Military Realism (MILSIM) unit that primarily plays first person military shooter/simulation games. The Regiment was founded in October 2002, making it one of the oldest clans in the areas the Regiment covers. This page will introduce new or prospective members to the capabilities of the Regiment, traditions, history, and other introductory information. The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment has always been run with a military structure, similar to the United States Army. However, the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment makes a number of changes to represent the structure in a manner that is compatible with a casual video game environment. Since founding, military simulation and realism principles have been employed. The earliest games played by the 7th Cavalry included Call of Duty 1, and 2. However, the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment began to see large growth beginning in 2008. When adopting Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the Regiment saw recruiting greatly increase. Along this time, the Regiment began to play Arma. In 2009, the Regiment adopted Arma 2 on release, and 1st Battalion was activated. The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment has played a number of games including Call of Duty, Arma, Hell Let Loose, Day of Defeat, Planetside, and others. However, all of these games have been run with an emphasis on tactical realism. Further, the Regiment is always looking to expand its presence through new popular games that support tactical team-based gameplay. Membership in the Regiment has fluctuated. The Regiment generally has between 300-350 active members at any one time.
