the two times I have had the 17e under my command we hit both really high numbers, I believe if I recall right with Dan that it was before the summer of 2016 that we hit 50-60 men pretty often.
Sadly enough I only made 2 screenshots from when the 2 companies were in a line together
then the last 17e I had it was a pretty average thing to have 40 men attendance but at its peak at the 85e last event for example we had 60-70 men playing in that event.
a few casual screenshots of that 17e 2nd version after the reform
The last screens were taken by Tardet so obvious they are a lot better and cinematic
there are probably a lot more I could potentially post but I feel this should give a clear image of a lot the events with the 17e and its attendance
