When I said "your/you" I meant it in the sense of every regiment. Its called the generic you. Wikipedia article Here.

Now that my A in English was finally put to use, let us get back to the subject.

10 isn't enough. Maybe have 15 but lights only. No rifles. Cav could bring 15 but only hussars and heavy's? Plenty of balancing could be done. More players=More fun!

I am sure Kincaide has reached out to other regimental leaders regarding their preferences for the specifics of the tournament as he has done with us. This balancing with 10 specialists will ensure that there will still be a competitive nature to NWBC as there was in the last 2v2, both to remind you are line focused.
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!?

15 max lights is the standard for 90% of the linebattles yeah, but most the time it is way below and that is good in my opinion. Lines with 15-20 ppl are no match for 15 light bois, light cav (even max.15)  has some really hard time to get into charge if the leader of the lights knows how to lead. Maybe this are just my experience with 15 lights in a event, but 95% there where complaints after the event. (And no Uni, I think 45thN and Nr13 could send more than 20 lights bois (not Grens/Inf/Cav or what ever, real light bois) into the field ;) )

Also, let's do some math:

15 lights + 15 cav (if lights are allowed to bring 15 cav should definitely be allowed to do so as well) = 30 specials

50 (team minimum) - 30 (specials) = 20
20 / 2 (two lines) = 10 ( 10 ppl for each line -> against the rules)

60 (new and needed minimum per team) - 30 (specials) = 30
30 / 2 (two lines) = 15 (for one line, in my opinion not enjoyable for lines)

70 (in my view needed minimum per team) - 30 (specials) = 40
40 / 2 (two lines) = 20 (for each line, not perfect but better in my opinion)

Now we just have to find 7 team that can field atleast 70 ppl, we should be fine I hope.

Long bullshit short message, if 15 lights and cav gets allowed, I want arty (2 canons) and 90 minimum per team.

Have to 100% agree with Nightwing. 10 Lights and Cav should be fine or the whole competitive character is destroyed.

10 is simply too small for any normal sized regiment.
About the competitive character. Regardless of what Kincaid or some of you would want, this tournament is more of a casual/relaxed thing. That is not meant in a negative way at all, it is what makes it distinct and unlike any other normal line battle tournament. If we solely care about the competitive nature of the tournament, then we might as well just do a line only and be done with it. The specials is what makes it interesting and different, and is the sole reason we signed up for this competition in the first place.

Weakening those specials to the point where they are incapable of doing anything on their own is plain useless. It goes against the character of the tournament.

The math only checks out if you bring 50. Some regiments here alone could bring 50 :)

This is meant to be a hybrid of a competiive tournament with a casual feel. 15 specials would add to the competitiveness, as you couldn't just crush them with your line. Lights could even play offensively, using guerrilla like tactics and harassing the line.


The general concept of this tournament is to pitch large pre-arranged teams against each other, to apply a more competitive and coordinated atmosphere to otherwise typical NW

If ur not able to have an impact w/ 10-12 Cav/Light, the problem prolly isn't the unit but the leadership.

No, it‘s literally the other way around: having max. 10 for the other units would hurt the spirit of this event, by reducing it to a NWL with support units instead of fielding large teams composed of different units all with a special purpose and parameters.
Can I just say that I’m really impressed with the cav community, 10x more mature than the inf community and a lot less tolerant of the cancerous players

" some regiments" more like 45thN I guess  ??? :o


So, we want something between chilled roleplay (Rikkert) and competitiveness (Uni). What is better:

1. An event centered around half a team playing specials, what makes lines more a tool for running throw enemy guerrilla fire during maneuvers.
2. An event centered around 3/5 of the team playing line (mininum), resulting that lights and cav will use as tools.

This is just my prediction, but I think option 1 will lead into a big camp event while 2 probably would give more opportunites for charges. But who likes to charge lol

15 max lights is the standard for 90% of the linebattles yeah, but most the time it is way below and that is good in my opinion. Lines with 15-20 ppl are no match for 15 light bois, light cav (even max.15)  has some really hard time to get into charge if the leader of the lights knows how to lead. Maybe this are just my experience with 15 lights in a event, but 95% there where complaints after the event. (And no Uni, I think 45thN and Nr13 could send more than 20 lights bois (not Grens/Inf/Cav or what ever, real light bois) into the field ;) )

Also, let's do some math:

15 lights + 15 cav (if lights are allowed to bring 15 cav should definitely be allowed to do so as well) = 30 specials

50 (team minimum) - 30 (specials) = 20
20 / 2 (two lines) = 10 ( 10 ppl for each line -> against the rules)

60 (new and needed minimum per team) - 30 (specials) = 30
30 / 2 (two lines) = 15 (for one line, in my opinion not enjoyable for lines)

70 (in my view needed minimum per team) - 30 (specials) = 40
40 / 2 (two lines) = 20 (for each line, not perfect but better in my opinion)

Now we just have to find 7 team that can field atleast 70 ppl, we should be fine I hope.

Long bullshit short message, if 15 lights and cav gets allowed, I want arty (2 canons) and 90 minimum per team.

Have to 100% agree with Nightwing. 10 Lights and Cav should be fine or the whole competitive character is destroyed.

No, it‘s literally the other way around: having max. 10 for the other units would hurt the spirit of this event, by reducing it to a NWL with support units instead of fielding large teams composed of different units all with a special purpose and parameters.
But to take out arty is fine? This event is tries something new with new rules, so it can evolve and still goes in 2020.

The math only checks out if you bring 50. Some regiments here alone could bring 50 :)
" some regiments" more like 45thN I guess  ??? :o


So, we want something between chilled roleplay (Rikkert) and competitiveness (Uni). What is better:

1. An event centered around half a team playing specials, what makes lines more a tool for running throw enemy guerrilla fire during maneuvers.
2. An event centered around 3/5 of the team playing line (mininum), resulting that lights and cav will use as tools.

This is just my prediction, but I think option 1 will lead into a big camp event while 2 probably would give more opportunites for charges. But who likes to charge lol

Personally I think 92nd underselling ourselves but thats a different issue.

There still will be charges lmao. No arty so no need to hide below hills. Just gives specialists the chance to actually survive a fight, you know?

just make it a chill linebattle tournament with a touch a competitive like last NWBC

Thank you vegi, very cool!
