The history of

The Birth
GardeTheDuellist started playing America's Army in 2006 with his real-life friend FlyByNibiru. In July 2010, Garde joined his first clan, a multilingual group with four leaders and no formal rules. The clan rented a game server for three months, with Garde covering 70% of the costs. Despite the lack of financial contributions from most leaders, they all held administrative privileges.
Disillusioned with the clan's structure and leadership, Garde and his teammate Taurus sought to establish a new clan based on different principles: a single leader, clear and equitable rules, equal rights for all members, a merit-based system for privileges, and a friendly atmosphere.
In September 2010, Garde launched the "=ER^b=" project, with support from FlyByNibiru and Taurus. The trio aimed to create a unique clan experience within the context of America's Army 2. Drawing inspiration from Napoleon's Army, Garde's personal passion, and the collective knowledge and experiences of the team, they set out to build a clan that stood out from the crowd.
The name "EAGLE'S REVENGE" was chosen to evoke the spirit of Napoleon's Grande Armée, particularly its elite Garde Imperiale. It contains a reference to the Battle of Waterloo.The clan's distinctive yellow-on-red logo, featuring a stylized Napoleonic eagle, further emphasized this historical connection.
The clan's tag, "=ER^b=", incorporated the stylized eagle symbol, "=^=". The original logo depicted a real Napoleonic eagle, illuminated by a light source, with two additional eagles observing it. This imagery symbolized the clan's commitment to the Napoleonic heritage and its members' readiness to fight alongside the leader.

After finalizing the clan's name, tag, logo, website, forum, rules, and roles, we turned our attention to recruitment. To avoid disrupting other clans, we opted for a discreet approach, sending private messages from Garde's America's Army 2 account to his friends who were either unaffiliated or inactive in other clans. We informed them about the "=ER^b=" project and invited them to join us on this new adventure.
Garde personally contacted the following players: Gloob, Bone_W_Machine (now known as Vredesbyrd), FuxAx, Levander243 (now Levander), [U8] slaktarn(swe) (now slaktarn70), Roby!999, Sgt.Coke, and ioulios. Additionally, Taurus reached out to Imaiser.
Five players accepted our invitation, though one was subsequently removed from the clan a few days later. To ensure a smooth launch, Garde rented a game server and TeamSpeak server two days before the official start of "=ER^b=" activities.
23 november 2010 EAGLE'S REVENGE brigade started his adventure with: GardeTheDuellist, Taurus, FlyByNibiru, Gloob, Imaiser, Vredesbyrd and FuxAx. From 18.30 to 23.00 cet all =ER^b= members joined TS and gameserver for the first time, we played on our favorite map "Border".
America's Army 2

A few days later, Levander joined the clan, followed by Slaktarn a few weeks later. Fidelios and Titaci, friends of Garde's who had also left their previous clan, joined "=ER^b=" to embark on this new venture. Over the following months, the clan grew to include 19 active America's Army 2 players.
Unfortunately, America's Army 2 was on the decline, limiting opportunities for competitive play. There was only one other active clan on our preferred map, but their leader had lost interest in clan wars. We found an active clan, [TG], on a different map and decided to challenge them. On June 17, 2011, we played our first clan war. We secured a decisive 12-0 victory on our map but suffered a 4-8 loss on their map (Bridge).
Bad Company 2

In july 2011 we started our adventure on Bad Company 2, with 5 players: Garde, Titaci, Gloob, Slaktarn and OMG (FuxAx) . It was a short experience to prepare our clan to join Battlefield 3.
First =ER^b= Meeting and first =ER^b= Award in Bibione (Italy)
The "=ER^b=" clan fostered a friendly and supportive environment. In March 2011, we held our first video conference, and during a subsequent call in April, we decided to organize a real-world meeting in Bibione, Italy, on August 27, 2011.
The meeting was a fantastic experience, bringing together Garde and his girlfriend, Gloob and his girlfriend, Titaci and his family, Vredesbyrd, and Levander. During the event, Garde presented custom awards he had designed to recognize the contributions of his clanmates. FlyByNibiru joined the celebration via phone call, and Garde also phoned a tipsy Imaiser to share greetings from the group. A special shoutout was sent to Johnny, who unfortunately couldn't attend.
