IRL friend made me buy the DLC early/mid 2012 we played a bit together, then I quickly encountered LeBrave somehow and joined cavs in the LI (french corps) only to never attend a single event in my two months in there, then applied to the 14e a couple weeks later

funny cause i still talk to this friend from time to time, but we never joined the same reg smh

Big fire and sword fan especially the Captain Co-op feature which eventually lead me to NW with Butler's 42nd and eventually Chicken found me in 2014 somehow...
So let’s just ignore someone like Maskman who knows next to nothing about leading and the capabilities of regiments performing well in a linebattle type of event.
To state that anyone on a “good day could beat the 77y/15thYR” is just a meme of its own, if that was the case why don't you beat the 77y or 15thYR then!?

I started playing the series with "Fire&Sword" and I liked playing Mount&Musket some months before NW released but I didn't quite understand how mods work so after some reinstalling I couldn't figure how to start the mod again...then I went back to Fire&Sword, even though I remember the Chat being so racist and political that I was always a bit repelled.
Then NW released and I was happy to play something like MM again. Bought it on release date, played on NW_Official_EU1 (at least I think it was, not 100% sure, but it was my favourite server) and got recruited by Nr59's best recruiter back then 2 days later.

I still know that I lied about my age XD I thought 12 was a bit too young so I said 13 or 14. But looking back, it feels like most people were about that age lol. The guy who recruited me told me he was just 12, so I quickly corrected myself, feeling a bit better.

I also still play with people who were there when I joined the regiment from time to time. Many of my members have been friends of mine for multiple years now.

The rest is material for hundreds of pages of gaming history! In a few months, I will have my 10 year anniversary in the regiment.


Join the IR_Nr59, join the infantry!

I got gifted Warband + NW in 2012 by a random guy on reddit who, for Christmas, made a thread giving away £800 worth of steam games on /r/randomactsofkindness. Played on public servers for a while until I was recruited by Gurkha on 84e_NW_Siege (like a great many people back then!)

NW: I was playing on a siege server and some guy from the 1st Kazachstan recruited me into their regiment despite me being an annoying 10 year old at the time with the shittiest mic ever.

NaS: I was playing on a random server and Major General Reznov recruited me into the 19thLV, I could barely speak any English at that point and since he was Dutch I found it easy to conversate with him about the mod, he invited me into his regiment, he also helped me with melee training on a weekly basis. This was my first ever regiment experience.

45thN: I started as a merc for like a single event and soon after I was forcibly drafted into their offical ranks. I'm still part of their Lights company even tho I barely ever attend events with them, I strangely gain pride from being in their Lights tho because all the other companies suck, even tho I have no clue how I even ended up in this situation.

After buying the game and playing a little on pubs like minisiege or TP I got a random steam invite and message from Pieter.
No idea how he found me but the rest is history.
