I wanna say at this point that the 2Lr had NO INVITES at this Match, we brought about 80 ppl to the battlefield and there was not a single Invite in our Regiment. I am not 100% Sure about the Nr13 but i did not see a Single one at least. I can not say the same about our enemy. Their cav was very strong and i think a lot of guys Invited there. Maybe this is not the Spirit of this event. I am looking forward and we have for the knockoutrounds a better Rule for this invite thingy.
To adress the problem of invites, they are allowed simply due to fact that not all regs can provide their full strenght for all of the events (you had example in todays match), and bringing them allows oposite teams to get most of their men on the battlefield. I do not support the extensive usage of invites because that really might disturb the idea of
Regiments fighting each other in ther groups, but as i've stated above i also do not see problem with getting additional men into the meat grinder, if they are no more then eg. 20 % of a line. I also support the idea of clarifying the rules for inviting.
