Community Chronicles

The tales of a guy with maybe a bit too much free times on his hands.


This is rather simple. For quite a while (since I involved myself in the NW community), I always wanted to relate all those events that only a handful got to play but that so many more would have loved to play in. The wikipedia thingy was such a great idea but sadly got left a bit behind for some reasons. This is a similar idea but rather than creating a whole website for it or even a wikipedia page, which I personally don't feel confident with, I simply decided to make my own topic and tell stories.

It can be anything, important LBs I've watched, refeered, played, Gfs Matches, Big Events, Nation Cups matches, anything. It will or won't interest you, I can't guarantee anything, but with the game being on its last days/weeks/months/year(s?), I doubt there is a more appropriate time for that. I might talk about some old regiments, current ones, give my opinion about it, my personal experience with them, could talk about players aswell. The whole idea is simply to narrate 5 years of this amazing experience which was playing NW for me. On many, many, many subjects, there will be several people capable to relate those events way better than I do, with more details, more accuracy or vocabulary so I encourage them, would they've time, to give their own experience of it. That's the whole idea of such a thread.

I don't pretend my opinion is better than anyone else on his forums cause it truly isn't. I don't pretend the idea is a good one, and finally I don't pretend what I will say is interesting. It will be up to you guys to judge of that. But in the worse case scenario, if you don't like it, just say it, and explain me how you would improve it. Eventually, if you hate the idea, just don't comment, it will die on its own from the lack of interest, it has been proved in the past. I'm not omniscient, stories I relate will be given from my own perspective and my perspective only. Some stuff will be accurate, some a bit less, some will be even wrong but hopefully someone will point them out so they can get fixed. My english isn't that great but it should be understandable for anyone who knows the basics. I'm always happy to get my stuff proof-read by people willing to do it.

Finally, I don't want to make this drama making. We all got different opinions, you may disagree with some stuff I will say, you actually will disagree with stuff I say but that's what the topic is about, discuss, exchange, share your experience and best moments on NW. Anyone, no matter who they're is is free to come and write something as long as they actually put a minimum effort behind it and remain respectful. If you respect those really simply rules, I will be glad adding your stuff to the OP. If you come here to bitch only, then refrain yourself cause you will be wasting your time, honestly. I'm playing since 2011-2012, all the tricks you could come up with, I've done them before.

Also if you except me to rank people, regiments or LBs bewteen them, then you actually got the whole thing wrong. So I'm just gonna leave it here so its said once for all, you know it and we can jump to something more important ; the greatest regiments of all times to my eyes are the 91st, 92nd, 8lr, 14e, 17e & Nr24 (in no particular order). The greatest player, Clash & JackieChan. The greatest community members? Actually don't have enough time nor space on this topic to quote all of them. Lets get to what matters.

First of all, great idea making this thread Tardet. Furthermore it might even be an idea of splitting the thingy with the best regiment of all time up in two parts (NW & MM). Concerning NW I have to say that the 91st is in my opinion the best regiment this community has ever seen (I might be a bit biased on that one :P). If we consider the MM times as a seperat part of this communities history I would even add the 13e to the list. Back at that time they were undoubtedly THE best regiment and Achilles was such a beast (of course anyone else in that regiment was aswell but it's quite hard to mention everyone of them so I'll just stick with Achilles), but that's just my opinion. Unfortunatley they split up once NW came out and we didnt have the chance to prove ourselves in this chapter of the history.

Player-wise I'd consider JackieChan to be the best this communities has seen. I bet some of you will agree on this with me, although of course there are plenty of other excellent players who've already been mentioned in this thread before but Jackie just stands out in my personal opinion.

Concerning some memorable moment in the NW history, I remember that once there were some LB's where the community kinda reenacted historical Linebattles such as Waterloo. But unfortunatley I don't own any screenshots, videos or anything like that of these battles. Would be cool if someone could help me or rather Tardet to fill this chapter in the NW chronicles.

Agreed with everything you said Snowwi, thanks for the support, and glad you shared your opinion. :)

I personally played a bit of MM (started with MM_Prussia5) if I recall correctly but I wasn't very involved in the community at that time, (FSE didn't even existed, was all on TW), only joined the IVe Corps when MM_Russia was released, my first real steps in the community. I of course heard about the 13e, which I believe Evanovic and Oldy (Old Guard) were in? Not quite sure about that one, I think Mem was there too, Evanovic also? Well you see, my memories isn't excelent so I would have quite a hard time at relating the great events of that area, as I consider myself as MM player but clearly not a specialist nor a veteran.

A regiment which not many people remember of but who still had an amazing run (sadly a bit short compared to the 91st or 92nd) was the 15e, lead by Hekko, with Carolus, Ward, Crackman, Evan and so many great and talented players in there. Clash was there too, and honestly seeing them playing in LBs was such a pleasure but again, I don't know that well so I believe some other players would be more qualified then I'm to speak about them.

The historical LBs I had the chance to personally play in where great but sadly there were not enough of this. I remember playing with the 75e on the Waterloo Map, but it wasn't necesseraly historically based. Still a really great event overall.

One of thing we actually did though was that we organized with the 75e some scenarized events, and the results of one weekly LB would have an impact on what would happen next week, a sort of mini-campain. We even had the 8lr at the first events, was rather cool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyOe_9bdjRc&t=91s&list=PLeDzLir8wcP2cRvsk-Z0wlAKzjAMVCNKc&index=16

Sadly the little historical/fictional background at the begining is in french.  :-\



I've already choosed a little event I wish to relate, mainly cause the background with it is quite interesting but in order to encourage people to read it, I'd like to get some sort of nice formating hence why I will probably only post it tonight or tomorow. It will feature the IVe Corps d'Armée Française, the 14pk, the 8lr, the 60th, and the 75e. Hope you guys will like it, personally one of the greatest event I played in.

Some of my more enjoyable tournament moments;

This has to be my favorite comeback that I've played in, we were being dominated by the Spartan based team but swapping out one player (soz Harrier) seemed to bring it back for us and everything clicked again;

https://youtu.be/XobaFCJTVmU?t=3m48s

In this tournament TFFO only lost 3 rounds the entire tournament as well, which has to be some kinda record beating FrenchTouch in the finals 7-1;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TzjCipo5p4&index=28&list=PLxYt0mUdSj7vB_0e2quRklHTeODG2kuit

Lastly this tournament we made another great comeback against a German team, forgot their name but we were like Von something or another (we went 5-2 down and won).

Back to MMrussia days, far before 14e was created,The 1er Grenadier hosted a linebattle. (early 2011 probably)
I must say that it was back in the ooooold days where we were all on that 22nd.eu ts server or something, the community was litterally on a 512 slots-teamspeak server lol.
So on that last round we all grouped on one teamspeak channel and we made a huge 4x line, it was pretty insane, do someone remember?
It was the former 1er grenadier leader commanding us, I cant remember his name but, shit, what a legend!

Actually think I attended that LB with the big line at the end or maybe it was another time, will try to find myself in the video but an epic moment in any case.

Edit : Also about the first novel, I would say I've written up to 30-40% of the whole thing and we're already reaching nearly 700 words. The formating (which is basically a copy at 90% of the formating Scar made for me on Native, for a match preview of a competitive event) should be finished too, just need to add some little features to make the whole thing a bit easier to read (hopefully).

I have some good memories, most of them were actually interactions between people and I will list these interactions here:

1. Brown of the 22nd (later 18e) made someone (not naming who to save embarrassment) cry over teamspeak because he was getting 'cyber bullied' by him way back in 2012. Haven't laughed so much in my life, wish you were all there to hear it. We have a man policy in the 22nd so obviously he was kicked for lack of testosterone, brown was later promoted to assigned Regimental Bully.

2. Pissing off Daniel Carrick, if you've ever pissed off this lad you know how funny it is to grind him to the brink of insanity. He once innocently said 'condense formation' and me and axiom repeatedly started to say 'condense' the entire match after we had already pissed him off for the last 30 minutes for not 'performing' although we were the only positive scores on the team. He later reported us to Heinrich for our actions, we were disciplined.

3. Reading the NWL thread after a Nr.24 vs 17e match

4. The Meister vs Jammo duel, this was a long fought battle between the two, but Meister came out victorious in the end causing the resignation of Lieutenant Jammosan (RIP) he fought well but he couldn't withhold against the might of Scottish aggression - he called on his allies Vespasian and Baker and in the end the memes became too dank. Jammosan gave abuse notably calling us 'trolls' and later 'big stinky pooey trolls'. We found this offensive because anyone with any sense knows we were a disciplined fighting machine.

I have some better stories but they can be saved for another day

 Just to add if your favourite regiments of all time doesn't include the 22nd your opinion isn't valid.

The best Regiment of all time was the 59th and their glorious leader Kaide. RIP he died in an aleged cuckolding accident authorities say.

As for Mopin, he is without a doubt one of the sickest player I have ever faced, and if I had to pick the best 2v2 I've played, the one against him and Godygamer in the semi-final of the FG 2v2 Tournament would probably come on top. A shame they lost to Moskito and Noswill in the finals, but Meskulin Maskulin was a hell of a duo back then. Also really like the guy's attitude, just not getting involved too much on FSE and shit, simply playing the game, kicking ass and having fun.
Winning against Mopin and Godygamer was highly unexpected for me and probably for Moskito too. As I can remember correctly, they were the champions of the first FG 2vs2 tournament and they played really amazing togehter, having one of the best teamplay. I played with Moskito since MM Russia, building up good in-game knowledge of each other, we wanted to test our capabilities and teamwork in a 2vs2 tournament. We won the first two matches and were really happy, since I personally thought it would be over soon enough, seeing so much amazing 2v2 teams like Ledger and Draken, Spacekiller and Badsheep and more to name. We had really close rounds against Bert and Deans, winning only 3:2. Watching the video from Mopins and Godys perspective, it is really amazing how calm Mopin was most of the time, in contrast to the sweaty play of Moskito and me.

Oh yeah I remember winning that tournament, good times - I was partnered with Dan Carrick, with his strategic knowledge we prevailed against some decent but outmatched opponents. One difficult duel I was worried about would be Herishey and Posh, but at that time Herishey was too busy trying to get a platinum album in the rap industry and Posh was on a diaper change so they had to forfeit.  I recall that Nozza was on duties that day and said he was a 'good boy' and that it was a 'big one'. Herishey went on to deleting his songs from youtube as he realised that fame just wasn't for him.

Matty was a fucking DISGRACE of a meleer back then, he went through a rough patch because his dad stopped beating him and he didn't understand why. He did get better. I took LeBraves duo out on my own i recall because matty needed a poo for the last two rounds

Has anyone got any footage of outstanding melee performances during linebattles, it always seems quite rare. People say things that they've done but nothing has often been caught on camera so it's difficult to say how believable some of it is. I did once 1v12 against 5pp back in 2014 and they had some of the better melee, they were up there with the better regiments at the time. But never recorded, just in the memories of 22nd members. Has anyone got anything to share?

I was always particularly proud of this performance against 92nd: skip to 3:45 me and NIFU fought valiantly for that round...

@Murphy

Honestly, the LBs I played with the 92nd for the NWL are part of my best memories, really. But the 22nd was certainly one of hardest we had, to my eyes. I'm actually quite shocked to see the score was 9-1, you deserved clearly better. If anything, it shows some LBs can be close without necesserally having a really close result.

What honestly probably disturbed us is how well you managed a 20-25 men line format while we were also used to play with a 35 men line which leaves way more room for mistakes and occasions to make up for them. On the other hand, you really didn't let us catch our breath during this 1v1 and some many rounds were damn close.

A hell of a LB, without a doubt.

@Nowsill

Thanks for sharing your point of view about the 2v2 versus Gody and Mopin, means a lot to have the opinion of someone who defeated them at their peak and an overall great player!

I would say this LB was taken just as the 22nd were getting better and pulling in some good melee/training our own, we were without Beorning, Stark, Berkovic, Turle(BulgarianSoldier) and a few other hidden gems that were never considered some of the best meleers in our community due to not having a huge tournament/community presence but we relied on them such as Goldking, OHNO, Ledoni, JohnnySlovak, Bakarat and more who were very good at keeping our centre strong. we did play the 92nd again about 2 or 3 months after and we lost either 7-3 or 6-4 and again about 6 months after that and lost 6-4. Never beat them, sadly. But the 92nd were pretty much undefeated other than 17e (6-4 but NWL marked it down as a draw due to rule break), can't recall 92nd losing anything else so I'm happy with those results I guess, I think we even achieved results better than what 14e could pull off vs them, 92nd were their kryptonite. I would've liked to see an Nr.24 Vs 92nd match. Real shame that never happened.

Can't recall the 92nd losing to anyone else either, I think they had a lot of draws against the 91st (amazing Lbs) but if they got beaten in a proper 1v1 (other than the 17e) then its not to my knowledges.

A Nr24 vs 92nd could have been fun indeed, same as 91st vs Nr24 to be fair. Those three belong to the Elite so obviously having them clashing would have been remarkable.

1st of all : cool idea Tardet  ;)
2nd : heres my 3 most memorable moments of my 5 year NW carreer.

1.) Spartans 5-5 14e in NWL, 14e were the winners of the previous NWL season + probably the best leading performance I have ever seen from Obelix.
2.) Dust's 5v5 tournament with the Spartan GF Team : in the quarter finals we beat the FrenchTouch in a super close game, later we lost the finals to TFFO (after being up 6-3) with 6-7 in what was probably one of the greatest come-backs in NW's competative history. Still a lovely performance against what probably are the 2 best GF teams in NW.
3.) This one actually is a bit more recent, BE 10-10 GER. The best match ive seen from BE since im playing for my country with also an amazing comeback from us.

I know that compared to some stuff i read here these are only small achievements, but to me they do mean alot  8)

P.S. If someone has a video of the Spartans vs 14e match, please share it ! I'd love to see it  :D

COMMUNITY CHRONICLES (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=35819.0): EVENT REVIEW



THE 8TH COALITION
Or the day the IVe french giant was floored

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSqV-e3VvSQ



     »To understand why this event is so particular, there is obviously the need of a little background for those who are not familiar with the IVe Corps d’Armee Française. It certainly is one of the most emblematic, oldest and successful French structure on the DLC and before, on the mod Mount & Musket. I would say that a good 50% if not more of the French community either joined them when they started the game, or were part of it at some points in their NW career. Even If they had their ups and downs, they exist since MM and never ever disbanded, which means that they’re also probably one of the oldest EU structure (if not the oldest) still alive and kicking. But most importantly, before this event takes place, they managed to hold the strongest record of invincibility ever detained by an army corps, their peak lasting until they were very closely defeated by a German army corps / brigade while being outnumbered by 30+ men throughout the whole event.  Being rather involved in the community at the time, I was often on the IVe teamspeak and had the occasion to discuss about this with them a lot. And without any form of cockiness (they’re probably part of the least arrogant lads I know in the community) some admitted to me that they’d be really glad getting a real challenge for once because they hadn’t find any so far, after a good two years or more of Lbs.

That’s where the idea of a coalition started. A coalition which would aim at proving wherever or not the IVe Corps d’Armée Française could actually be beaten, fair and straight, in an event both sides would actually take seriously. After getting the IVe agreement for a LB, I dedicated myself to find the best regiments possible for this event. I also wanted it to be, in some way, a representation of the community and not simply the best skilled regiments at the time. For example, while the 14e is considered the best French regiment in the EU community, for a good reason, I was myself a CO in the 75e at the time and obviously wanted my regiment to get involved as Line and Art so having another French line regiment would make the whole event a bit too ‘French’ based overall and that wasn’t the whole idea. That’s why I offered the 8lr, the best German line regiment and also a major EU one, to partake, and it didn’t take long for them to accept. As for the cavalry regiment, it was also rather obvious. At the time, the 75e had an excellent relationship with the 14pk, certainly one of the best cavalry regiment ever in the EU community, and without a doubt the best polish one. The boys were playing heavy cavalry and kicking at it like it was never seen before. My only concern was the light infantry. I didn’t know many ‘good’ light regiments and most were already in Army Corps so I knew that would-be kind of hard to get them to play without their other regiments. That’s when the 60th came to my mind. At the time, they were not the trolly regiment most of you guys may know but one of the best lights out there, and extremely deadly no matter the range. As they accepted to join us, the coalition was finalized.

So that was it. The event was settled. I had managed to gather all the regiments I wanted - which wasn’t as easy as it may look by the way -  and had send them a long PM (I was already a big fan of writing huge novels back then) to explain them the strong points and weaknesses of the IVe Corps. All regiments knew how we should proceed in order to beat them, I had got them to set-up the whispers bewteen all leaders and 2nd in command, and informed them of what was at stake. The IVe was ready as well. The battle could finally start. «

THE COALITION IS ON ITS WAY

(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.static.flickr.com%2F5188%2F5620582193_07207bc789_o.png&hash=d3f6feb1a44efb55afe9e8b7116220406a7e5687)

1st Map - Random Plains

The battle took place in a huge plain scenery except that for a ‘plain’ environment, both teams had some interesting hills to use close to their spawn, the coalition slightly possessing the upper group in that scenario. The first round saw both formations testing eachothers at long range without seeing anyone having a large success from that. After sometimes, the IVe Corps’ Light Infantry, the 5e Voltigeurs, started dangerously engaging the 60th Skirmishers, taking some causalities while fighting back. The fight later took a decisive turn when the 14pk engaged themselves into the battle, triggering the reaction of the 7e Hussards. When the 45e and 2e Grenadier arrived at the center of the battle, many men had already died and they sadly couldn’t turn that round back to the advantage of the IVe Corps d’Armée. 1-0 for the Coalition.

It is also worth being noticed that the the IVe Corps were actually heavily outnumbered at the beginning of the battle, between 15 and 20 men, a balance which would be fixed later during the battle. The 2nd Round saw the Coalition marching arrogantly towards the IVe Lines and relatively soon, the 8lr and the 60th saw themselves facing the 45e, 2e and 5e in the plains and taking the advantages due to superior firing. While the 45e and the 2e were trying to re-position themselves, the 75e and the 14pk who had flanked the IVe in the meantime, swooped together on the 5e, leaving no chance whatsoever to the poor voltigeurs, and making a decisive move in order to claim the victory for that second round.  2-0 Coalition.

Unable to find the solution, the IVe Corps didn’t really change its strategy and the third round saw the same beginning as the previous one, the 45e taking some heavy causalities while the 75e and 8lr were firing from better covers. When the fight broke down and all regiments engaged the melee, the Frenchmen fought bravely but couldn’t have enough of an impact. This round was closer due to a really good showing and last stand from the 5e Voltigeurs, but eventually came down to the 9e as the last soldiers alive from the IVe, getting crushed by the rest of the coalition’s lines. 3-0.
THE FRENCH EMPIRE HAS FALLEN!

(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.static.flickr.com%2F5188%2F5620582193_07207bc789_o.png&hash=d3f6feb1a44efb55afe9e8b7116220406a7e5687)

2nd Map - Random Desert

At this point the situation was desperate for the IVe Corps d’Armée Française, unable to get a single round going their way. The map changed and with it, the hopes that the Frenchmen could switch the momentum back to their side.

The first round started positively for them as the 2e Grenadier was taking the upper hand on the 8lr with some excellent shooting. The 45e and 5e were moving alongside, trying to find a breach in the shell of their opponent. Unfortunately, when the 8lr engaged the 2e Grenadier in melee, they proved once for all while they were one of the most dangerous line infantry of the whole community, destroying their entire line while barely getting any deaths in return. The 45e decided to engage the 60th after taking some shots from them while the 75e were engaging the 5e close to to them. Thanks to the 7e Hussards helping them, the 45e didn’t have too much difficulties crushing the 60th and when the 14pk arrived, most of the british riflemen were either dead or retreating. On the other hand, the 5e Voltigeurs had managed to contain the 75e line and everything was still possible.
The difference was made when the 8lr joined the last 75e and 14pk soldiers and showed no mercy while killing the last soldiers of the Emperor. Once again, only the 9e Artillery remained. And once again, they couldn’t win the round on their own. The Coalition had won. The IVe Corps was defeated.

The last two rounds not having much impact on the result, it was all in the IVe hands to transform this decisive victory for the coalition in a somewhat even final result. The 2nd round of the desert map could have been the first one claimed by the IVe Corps but once again the coalition was proven stronger.
The last round was just similar to the previous ones, and you could feel the moral wasn’t at best for the IVe Corps. The coalition didn’t waste much time, rushing without much strategy towards the enemy lines, 14pk leading the charge.

The 45e Régiment d’Infanterie de Ligne is the oldest line infantry regiment within the French community. At the time of its creation, the IVe Corps didn’t exist yet and due to the 2e Hussards (which would later become the famous 7e Hussards) playing often Line Infantry in events, they decided to create the first regiment of the IVe Corps d’Armée. The 45e was born. A bunch of famous leader had the honor to command this regiment but nowdays the regiment is under the leadership of Vade and Darknight, two famous French veterans, after Killian’s departure. If they never really managed to establish themselves into the EU competitive scene, the 45e won the Ligue Impériale (a French contest) not so long ago and impress by their longevity and experience as one of the oldest.

Same as the 45e, the 2e Régiment des Grenadiers de la Garde is the second line of the IVe Corps and if they also never made that much of an impact competitively speaking, they too won the Ligue Imperiale once and act as some kind of reference among the French scene. Most people also don’t know that a good bunch of the people who created the 14e are also former 2e Grenadier COs. When they left, the regiment was disbanded but later re-created thanks to Stéphane, who after so many years, still occupy the highest-ranking position within the regiment.

It has always been somewhat complicated to rank the light infantry regiments as there was never a competitive scene for them. That being said, if such thing had existed, the 5e Régiment de Voltigeurs would surely deserve its place among the best. Impressive by its capacity to decimate a regiment at long range, they also improved in melee by the years and had some excellent players, individually speaking, while managing to preserve a friendly atmosphere within their ranks. More than a regiment, the 5e was a big family and if they don’t play NW nowadays, they continue to stick together as a group..
(https://i.imgur.com/JPgca9a.png) (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.edgecast.steamstatic.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcountryflags%2Ffr.gif&hash=50d8f903d745ca1cb8f05269b047b2992e5fec3f) 7e Régiment de Hussard Hussars [Leader - Pierrus] (~15)
If the other regiments from the IVe Corps never really gave too much importance to the individual titles and other competitive experiences in the NW community, it’s another story for the 7e Hussard. Without a doubt the best French cavalry of the whole NW scene, the regiment was lead at the beginning by Pierrus and Mat, from Mount & Musket to the start of the NW era. But its definitely Erik, Sukesa, Peponi and Exofrance who helped the 7e Hussard earning its stripes by winning a CWNL 1st place and many other tournaments, and therefore establishing their regiment as one of the most feared and respected structure of the EU cavalry scene. .

But if I had to pick one regiment among all of them to represent the IVe at best, it would be the 9e Régiment d’Artillerie à pied. Stable as a wall, modest, quiet. The 9e has always been doing his work but never took much credits for it. Lead by Chronos, a veteran among the artillery captains, for a really long time, the 9e is currently lead by Ulysse Grant who took over after Chronos’s departure and continue to make the 9e’s canons resonating on the battlefield for years now. The 9e also hold an incredible number of records but you will hardly see them cocking about it because same as the all the regiments of the IVe Corps, what matters is the teamwork they can produce together, not the individual achievements. That’s how they get the job done.

The 8th Coalition







(https://i.imgur.com/wwanUpd.png) (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsteamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcountryflags%2Fpl.gif&hash=01bb3c2a2cd01fc0ad9a680f8a6d1ebebaf4f096) 14. Pułk Kirasjerów Heavy Cavalry [Leader - Patrykus] (~15)
Anyone who call himself a cavalry player veteran and doesn't know the 14pk is automatically a fool to my eyes. They were without a doubt one of the most sucessful polish regiment of the whole NW, if not the most successful, and maintened a healthy rivalry  with the 7e Hussard which at this time was the Number 1 Cavalry Regiment on the scene, making them also feared within the EU community. The guys were just massive force which could be unleashed at any moment on the battlefield, absolutely unstoppable. I feel honestly lucky to have been given the chance to see them in action so often, back then, that was something.
(https://i.imgur.com/aRAfK8i.png) (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.edgecast.steamstatic.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcountryflags%2Fde.gif&hash=b94839f12becc18010278974568b9416419b0e85) 8.Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Line Infantry [Leader - Vampyr] (~35)
If there was one regiment I could get back from the old days, one regiment I would want back, that wouldn't be the 91st nor the 91st or Nr24 but certainly the 8lr. Because unlike the first three, I really feel that they didn't really get the recognition they truly deserved. Indisputably the best german line infantry regiment, the 8lr was also a positive force within the community, respectul, mature, lads and its too often we forgot about them. And if I had to pick one of the saddest day as well in this community, one would surely be the day when Vampyr publicy announced their retirement from the community. You felt a giant was gone. And an impotant part of the NW/MM community as well.
(https://i.imgur.com/RJK3R58.png) (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.edgecast.steamstatic.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcountryflags%2Fgb.gif&hash=ea32c4ae98265a2cdffe5b11421f0756d9d7ce3b) 60th Royal American Rifles Light Infantry [Leader - Peter] (~15)
Before being known as FSE martyrs and fighters of the tyrany, the 60th was actually a relatively serious regiment, quite skilled and mostly famous for its 'hit and run' strategies which used to decimate lines before they could even see where the firing would come from. The regiment was lead by Peter Broetz, and seconded during this event but Shortshorts I believe. And as you can see on the video, they were extremely deadly throughout the whole event and a massive factor of our victory, even if they kept complaining 'we should have let them more kills.' British skirmishers at their finest.
(https://i.imgur.com/zqo5s9F.png) (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.edgecast.steamstatic.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcountryflags%2Ffr.gif&hash=50d8f903d745ca1cb8f05269b047b2992e5fec3f) 75e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne Line Infantry + Artillery Company [Leader - MacAaron] (~40)
If many remember the 14e as the best french regiment in the EU and French scene since they won the NWL and competed at the highest level for years, there was a little french regiment called the 75e which started from basically nothing and during 6 months (the 1st edition) got to play and face the best, and even defeat some. Some great french names, like Sinjide, Aexos, Clash, Breizh, Bessières, Tibérias and many more were inniatally part of this regiment and after the 14e obviously, it was the most competitive and skilled regiment of the french scene and a quite known structure within the EU scene as well, quite based on the 91st and on the 92nd ones, but with the french touch.




CONCLUSION

This event if anything, proved that it doesn't take ages to get a good teamplay and synergy. Simply the capacity to set-up good whispers and use this communication at the best of its possibility. That's what the Coalition did and its honestly nothing spectacular. But it worked because all the regiments were among the best in their respective categories and because instead of simply doing things on their own, they worked together throughout the whole event towards the same goal, defeating the IVe Corps. There was no individual prowess in this event but simply massive teamwork’s and joy to play with and against people you respect.
On the IVe’ side however it was a bit of a different story. They fairly admitted that they were not prepared to such a challenge but what was probably the most problematic issue with them is that they never really seemed willing to adapt themselves to what the Coalition was doing, one of the big criticism from the regimental leaders of the IVe Corps towards the High Commanding Officers.

The 7e Hussard was actually one of the rare regiment capable of fighting on an equal footing with the 14pk but they, alone, couldn’t change the faith of that battle.

That's the first try of an article, really sorry it took so long but moved to Spain for a few days and had lots of other stuff to care about. It probably won't be what interest people the most, I understand but it's still an important moment in the NW history and rather unknown because 'less' competitive than most other events.

Apologizes for the english which isn't great, I will probably edit things as soon as I see the numerous mistakes I made but if someone is willing to proofread it, even partially, feel free.

Hope I will be able to continue making stuff like that, its really time confusing but all the articles won't be all as huge as this one and will also cover different aspect such as players, regiments, etc .. Also planning to consider doing some interviews, rather than giving my opinion on stuff I don't really know that well.

Really waiting for feedbacks, negative or positive as long as they're constructives.

Lastly this tournament we made another great comeback against a German team, forgot their name but we were like Von something or another (we went 5-2 down and won).
https://youtu.be/3MoGMkrZjqU

Lmao you were so triggered by me only blocking

Can't recall the 92nd losing to anyone else either, I think they had a lot of draws against the 91st (amazing Lbs) but if they got beaten in a proper 1v1 (other than the 17e) then its not to my knowledges.

A Nr24 vs 92nd could have been fun indeed, same as 91st vs Nr24 to be fair. Those three belong to the Elite so obviously having them clashing would have been remarkable.
Didn't see the thread earlier so apologies for the late reply.

Apart from the mentioned loss turned draw against the 17e we never lost an official 1v1 in a competitive setting. We did lose plenty of practise LBs when we first started out getting into the competitive scene, but we didn't really play with our premier lineup in these.

Against the 91st specifically we only really played once in NW as far as I know and that was one of the best (if not the best) LB I've attended in NW. It was a 2 company battle so each regiment had 2 lines (I think it was around 60-70 people for each side). We got behind early on because our CO of the 2nd company timed out in the first round while we has walking towars the edge of the map and we kept on following thinking he had just gone quiet :P In the last round we ambushed the 91st's 1st Company on top of a central hill and it ensued a melee circle of death involving all 4 companies with both sides showing excellent discipline kiting on the left and pushing on the right. It was glorious and ended in a 5-5.
Here's a video from the 91st's perspective
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ZmTUijgpY

The only other official 1v1 between 91st and 92nd I recall was a 1v1 in the last days of MM where we beat them 6-4 but I can't find any video of it. They played with lots of invites (including 84e Ward, if anyone still knows him, being the top fragger). Afterwards or was it before Donald challenged Tav to a duel but Ward played for Tav. That was all in the early days of the 91st 92nd rivalry, before that they had always played in our multi reg LBS.


Memorable moments include:
-Us (92nd) winning the NWL 1st League after being undefeated throughout 3 consecutive seasons and rising from 3rd to 1st League
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy7i7zs6xu8

-Getting 2nd place (RIP) in the 4th Groupfighting tournament organised by Hekko with the Swamp Monkeys, was one of my first tournaments I attended.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTgJet8ieHo

-Getting 2nd place (RIP again) in a 2v2 tounrmanent with JackieChan even though we signed up on the day of the tournament and never even practised before. Can't find the final video so here's the semi against Tardet and Lubukill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pctr-v3jnG8

-FSE "Revolution"
-91st donation debacle
-Keramor, Louis, 4Given and Akame teaching me how to chamber in MM
-Ganddad MacKay (a pensioner in real life who played with us in the 92nd in NW) was supposed to make a Santa speech before our Christmas break climbing on top of a tree on our training map. He accidentally fell down, dieing in game in the process and saying "I think I may have messed up" in TS.

Since writting articles take me times and I don't always have it sadly, I've decided that instead of giving my opinion on certain players/community members which will sometimes be irrelevant or innacurate, best would be to directly ask those players for a small (lol) interview. Something I've already been doing on Native, around a year ago with the Unsung Heroes (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,339076.0.html) project and which met an interesting entoushiasm from this community.

Whenever I can I will of course try to write other articles like I did a few weeks ago but I can't promess it will be on a regular basis as I also have lots of work with the Native Community and my own regiment obviously.

What I would be really glad is to have a certain amount of feedbacks from the community on who you'd like to be interviewed and hear from? So far here is a list of people (rather uncompleted) I thought about. Awesome Players, Organizer, Regimental Leaders, Dedicated Community Members, it can be anyone who contribued in some way to this community.

Maurice
Clash
Evanovic
Hekko
Cazasar
Rommel

Verdieb
Sinjide

I'm also looking for two sort of people.

- People able to proof-read interviews and articles. You don't need much, just to be native or extremely good english speaker (way better than me to give you an idea). The more offers I have, the more I can divide stuff bewteen the helpers I've.
- Someone capable of creating some graphics like Belendor did for the Unsung Heroes on Native. Nothing complicated but its always cooler ! Would be really appreciated.

Quote from: Tardet
I've met Maurice years ago and back then I was far from knowning he would become a close friend but also someone I've always valued and respected throughout the time we shared together in this community. We've played together in many LBs or Groupfighting Tournaments, sometimes best allies, sometimes best ennemies, but there are not many people I wanted to interview more than him and I believe his dedication, honesty, and fairness towards any individuals in this community contribued to make the experience of many players even greater.

Thanks for everything.

COMMUNITY CHRONICLES (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=35819.0): INTERVIEW



MAURICE
The unofficial community gentleman.


First, I'd like you to talk about how you discovered the game, your first-steps in the community and what made you stay.

I'd like to start this by thanking you, Tardet, for giving me the opportunity to be part of this community project. I hope I can be plain in my answers and give people an insight into my time in the NW community and I look forward to seeing future interviews with others who have dedicated their time and efforts to NW.

I discovered the game by watching Malakith's YouTube videos and being really impressed with the organisation and team spirit of the 77y events. It motivated me to buy my first gaming PC (which was an absolute pile of AMD garbage) and so I began my NW life as a siege noob playing as musician and being teamhit by people that didn't like the sound of bagpipes. I was recruited into Lannes Mack's 4e Grenadiers and chose the historical name 'Maurice Levare'. I just want to make it absolutely clear that I'm not being pretentious or trying to be French by calling myself 'Maurice' in NW. I had the historical name and that's how people addressed me. The 4e Grenadiers was a perfect balance between having fun in events whilst being disciplined and as a result I made some long-term friends from that regiment which I still have today, 6 years on.

From there I joined regiments such as the 9th Brigade under the likes of Primus and Felix, then the Nr24, 92nd (Donald's), and I am currently a proud member of the 59th.

What really makes me stay in the game isn't the game itself but the people I meet and the friends I make. Even 6 years on I am making friends of which I hope to remain close with. Big shout-out to the NWWC 2017 GB Team who are absolutely class and proved everyone wrong by really testing Team FRA and performing better than last year's team.


You're indeed a very old player of this game and therefore have experienced more things in this community than most. Being someone who took part in both sort of events, what would you have to say about the casual part (LBs, Historical Events, Corps Events) and competitives ones (1v1 LBs, Gfs Tournament, Duel League etc ..). Do you think both are necesserary on this game and do you have any preferences?

Both casual and competitive events are necessary. Casual events are accessible to players on any skill and competitive events are for players who wish to further their skill or demonstrate how good they already are. I like them both for different reasons.

I'll be honest, coming home from an exhausting day at university and having to take part in a competitive match is not ideal. NWWC 2017 was carried out in exam season and thus I would often find myself having to drink several cans of caffeinated drinks just so that I could perform to an acceptable level when the time came. However, competitive events are worth the effort. The joy you get from winning a competitive match or performing better than expected is incredible and a great way to make connections in the game.

The same ideas could be applied to casual events. Again, after a long day, casual events seem pointless and not worth attending but it is exactly that which makes them great. Don't feel like attending a siege event on a Friday night? Don't go, maybe you'll go to the next one if you feel up to it. It is that very essence of friendly events which makes them accessible and ideal for people who don't wish to become as devoted to the game as others.

As someone who has been head-admin on the Groupfighting Server for a long time and heavily contributed to its improvement and continuation through the years, what do you think this kind of server brings to the competitive NW community and do you think it can still contribute to keeping the competitive scene alive?

Although rounds on the Groupfighting Server are in no way similar to those in competitive groupfights, it is still a great place to train for many kinds of melee. The usual format of rounds on the Groupfighting server is as follows: right side push, middle swing with the right, left side fall back. When this is realised, a player can really better themselves on the server. If you want to train to play on a flank and be aggressive, go right. If you are wanting to really challenge yourself and learn how to deal with enemies from all sides and stop them from pushing, go mid. Playing on the left flank is not as rewarding but if you can hold an aggressive left flank whilst your right side is pushing then you are guaranteed to win the round. Training on the Groupfighting Server can be very rewarding if you know how to use it.


You've always been open as gay and stood up for it whenever it was necessary. Could you explain us how you dealt with that during your growing NW renown when it is known that the online gaming community are not necessarily tolerant on this particular subject, among many others.

With great difficulty. At the time, many of the 'top people' in NW were openly prejudice against any minority but thankfully I was Head Admin of the Groupfighting Server which gave me a lot of leverage. I have been banned from events, servers, unable to join certain regiments and publicly shamed on FSE because of it. I've never understood why who I am attracted to has or can affect other people but it is good to remember that most people just say stuff so they look cool to the 'top people' I referred to earlier. Best way to deal with things like that is by surrounding yourself with friends who accept you and making sure you are happy in your real life because relying too much on the community in a game isn't healthy.

It's sad but I know a lot of gay or bisexual people in the community that feel they can't come out because of the difficulties that it will cause. All I can say is that if you are to come out, it might be difficult but it's important to be yourself and you could actually meet someone in the game who you will grow to care about.


Being a veteran, you've seen this community changing, in good or bad. Could you share your views on how this community recently evolved to your eyes? What are the improvements? The drawbacks? What would you advice us to do to in order to make this community take a decisive turn before a new game arrives.

The obvious improvement is that the community isn't dominated by a bunch of keyboard warriors on FSE that didn't even play the game anymore. Thankfully most of that has ended and they have gone on to do other things or annoy other gaming forums with their weird and unwanted drama. The bad news is who has taken their place which is a very small group of friends whom are highly competitive which can often get to the point of ridiculousness. An example of this would be the Groupfighting League in which I believe matches are a best of 30 rounds format. This is a total joke and, although it may give an accurate result as to which team is best, risks alienating people that don't want to spend an hour after usual event time playing a long and arduous groupfighting match. This is just one example. All the people who deliberately stir up drama on FSE and in-game are a huge threat to the survival of the game and if they are bored of the game then they should tone themselves down or just leave the game and find something else to do.

What is great to see is that, despite all the best regiments disbanding, the community is still going quite strong and their are still plenty of events in which to take part. The one thing that could make this community better and last longer is if people weren't as unnecessarily hateful and avoided falling out so much. It sounds like I'm being some sort of hippy preacher but I don't see the need for people to fall out over 'stealing members from regiments' or a small rulebreak during a match.

I can imagine that when the new game arrives there will be a an injection of new players into the community which is always healthy. I think that this, along with people focusing on the new games, will probably result in any current problems the community has sorting themselves out.

People may ask me for specific examples of anything I have talked about in this section but I will ignore you. If you have a feeling that anything in this section applies to you then it probably does.


Thanks a lot for the interview Maurice. If you want to talk about something which has a special meaning to you, mention a few people, any sort of shout-out or share a special memory,
that's your moment.


I'd like to take this opportunity to give a special shout-out to people who have been with me in the game since the start and some more recent guys. First to Goob, who is my Daddy. Cookie and Movement, although Movement is absolute AIDS he's a good guy and Cookie is probably my closest friend in the game and helped me through a lot <3 To all the 92nd guys, I miss you all loads and hope you will reform in the new game that comes out. Chicken, who I have also become very close to and helped make my time in the game really great. Too all the GB boys who I love to bits and am pretty sure you're all closeted homosexuals. And lastly you, Tardet. You have always been a very great friend of mine ever since I met you and I speak on behalf of everyone when I thank you for everything you have done for this community.

COMMUNITY CHRONICLES (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=35819.0): EVENT REVIEW



THE 8TH COALITION
Or the day the IVe french giant was floored

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSqV-e3VvSQ



     »To understand why this event is so particular, there is obviously the need of a little background for those who are not familiar with the IVe Corps d’Armee Française. It certainly is one of the most emblematic, oldest and successful French structure on the DLC and before, on the mod Mount & Musket. I would say that a good 50% if not more of the French community either joined them when they started the game, or were part of it at some points in their NW career. Even If they had their ups and downs, they exist since MM and never ever disbanded, which means that they’re also probably one of the oldest EU structure (if not the oldest) still alive and kicking. But most importantly, before this event takes place, they managed to hold the strongest record of invincibility ever detained by an army corps, their peak lasting until they were very closely defeated by a German army corps / brigade while being outnumbered by 30+ men throughout the whole event.  Being rather involved in the community at the time, I was often on the IVe teamspeak and had the occasion to discuss about this with them a lot. And without any form of cockiness (they’re probably part of the least arrogant lads I know in the community) some admitted to me that they’d be really glad getting a real challenge for once because they hadn’t find any so far, after a good two years or more of Lbs.

That’s where the idea of a coalition started. A coalition which would aim at proving wherever or not the IVe Corps d’Armée Française could actually be beaten, fair and straight, in an event both sides would actually take seriously. After getting the IVe agreement for a LB, I dedicated myself to find the best regiments possible for this event. I also wanted it to be, in some way, a representation of the community and not simply the best skilled regiments at the time. For example, while the 14e is considered the best French regiment in the EU community, for a good reason, I was myself a CO in the 75e at the time and obviously wanted my regiment to get involved as Line and Art so having another French line regiment would make the whole event a bit too ‘French’ based overall and that wasn’t the whole idea. That’s why I offered the 8lr, the best German line regiment and also a major EU one, to partake, and it didn’t take long for them to accept. As for the cavalry regiment, it was also rather obvious. At the time, the 75e had an excellent relationship with the 14pk, certainly one of the best cavalry regiment ever in the EU community, and without a doubt the best polish one. The boys were playing heavy cavalry and kicking at it like it was never seen before. My only concern was the light infantry. I didn’t know many ‘good’ light regiments and most were already in Army Corps so I knew that would-be kind of hard to get them to play without their other regiments. That’s when the 60th came to my mind. At the time, they were not the trolly regiment most of you guys may know but one of the best lights out there, and extremely deadly no matter the range. As they accepted to join us, the coalition was finalized.

So that was it. The event was settled. I had managed to gather all the regiments I wanted - which wasn’t as easy as it may look by the way -  and had send them a long PM (I was already a big fan of writing huge novels back then) to explain them the strong points and weaknesses of the IVe Corps. All regiments knew how we should proceed in order to beat them, I had got them to set-up the whispers bewteen all leaders and 2nd in command, and informed them of what was at stake. The IVe was ready as well. The battle could finally start. «

THE COALITION IS ON ITS WAY

(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.static.flickr.com%2F5188%2F5620582193_07207bc789_o.png&hash=d3f6feb1a44efb55afe9e8b7116220406a7e5687)

1st Map - Random Plains

The battle took place in a huge plain scenery except that for a ‘plain’ environment, both teams had some interesting hills to use close to their spawn, the coalition slightly possessing the upper group in that scenario. The first round saw both formations testing eachothers at long range without seeing anyone having a large success from that. After sometimes, the IVe Corps’ Light Infantry, the 5e Voltigeurs, started dangerously engaging the 60th Skirmishers, taking some causalities while fighting back. The fight later took a decisive turn when the 14pk engaged themselves into the battle, triggering the reaction of the 7e Hussards. When the 45e and 2e Grenadier arrived at the center of the battle, many men had already died and they sadly couldn’t turn that round back to the advantage of the IVe Corps d’Armée. 1-0 for the Coalition.

It is also worth being noticed that the the IVe Corps were actually heavily outnumbered at the beginning of the battle, between 15 and 20 men, a balance which would be fixed later during the battle. The 2nd Round saw the Coalition marching arrogantly towards the IVe Lines and relatively soon, the 8lr and the 60th saw themselves facing the 45e, 2e and 5e in the plains and taking the advantages due to superior firing. While the 45e and the 2e were trying to re-position themselves, the 75e and the 14pk who had flanked the IVe in the meantime, swooped together on the 5e, leaving no chance whatsoever to the poor voltigeurs, and making a decisive move in order to claim the victory for that second round.  2-0 Coalition.

Unable to find the solution, the IVe Corps didn’t really change its strategy and the third round saw the same beginning as the previous one, the 45e taking some heavy causalities while the 75e and 8lr were firing from better covers. When the fight broke down and all regiments engaged the melee, the Frenchmen fought bravely but couldn’t have enough of an impact. This round was closer due to a really good showing and last stand from the 5e Voltigeurs, but eventually came down to the 9e as the last soldiers alive from the IVe, getting crushed by the rest of the coalition’s lines. 3-0.
THE FRENCH EMPIRE HAS FALLEN!

(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.static.flickr.com%2F5188%2F5620582193_07207bc789_o.png&hash=d3f6feb1a44efb55afe9e8b7116220406a7e5687)

2nd Map - Random Desert

At this point the situation was desperate for the IVe Corps d’Armée Française, unable to get a single round going their way. The map changed and with it, the hopes that the Frenchmen could switch the momentum back to their side.

The first round started positively for them as the 2e Grenadier was taking the upper hand on the 8lr with some excellent shooting. The 45e and 5e were moving alongside, trying to find a breach in the shell of their opponent. Unfortunately, when the 8lr engaged the 2e Grenadier in melee, they proved once for all while they were one of the most dangerous line infantry of the whole community, destroying their entire line while barely getting any deaths in return. The 45e decided to engage the 60th after taking some shots from them while the 75e were engaging the 5e close to to them. Thanks to the 7e Hussards helping them, the 45e didn’t have too much difficulties crushing the 60th and when the 14pk arrived, most of the british riflemen were either dead or retreating. On the other hand, the 5e Voltigeurs had managed to contain the 75e line and everything was still possible.
The difference was made when the 8lr joined the last 75e and 14pk soldiers and showed no mercy while killing the last soldiers of the Emperor. Once again, only the 9e Artillery remained. And once again, they couldn’t win the round on their own. The Coalition had won. The IVe Corps was defeated.

The last two rounds not having much impact on the result, it was all in the IVe hands to transform this decisive victory for the coalition in a somewhat even final result. The 2nd round of the desert map could have been the first one claimed by the IVe Corps but once again the coalition was proven stronger.
The last round was just similar to the previous ones, and you could feel the moral wasn’t at best for the IVe Corps. The coalition didn’t waste much time, rushing without much strategy towards the enemy lines, 14pk leading the charge.

(https://i.imgur.com/m0sGM3S.png) (https://i.imgur.com/uCNaT3a.png) 45e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne Line Infantry [Leader - Killian] (~25)
The 45e Régiment d’Infanterie de Ligne is the oldest line infantry regiment within the French community. At the time of its creation, the IVe Corps didn’t exist yet and due to the 2e Hussards (which would later become the famous 7e Hussards) playing often Line Infantry in events, they decided to create the first regiment of the IVe Corps d’Armée. The 45e was born. A bunch of famous leader had the honor to command this regiment but nowdays the regiment is under the leadership of Vade and Darknight, two famous French veterans, after Killian’s departure. If they never really managed to establish themselves into the EU competitive scene, the 45e won the Ligue Impériale (a French contest) not so long ago and impress by their longevity and experience as one of the oldest. 
(https://i.imgur.com/otRgfbd.png) (https://i.imgur.com/uCNaT3a.png) 2e Régiment des Grenadiers de la Garde Inpériale Grenadiers [Leader - Stéphane] (~25)
Same as the 45e, the 2e Régiment des Grenadiers de la Garde is the second line of the IVe Corps and if they also never made that much of an impact competitively speaking, they too won the Ligue Imperiale once and act as some kind of reference among the French scene. Most people also don’t know that a good bunch of the people who created the 14e are also former 2e Grenadier COs. When they left, the regiment was disbanded but later re-created thanks to Stéphane, who after so many years, still occupy the highest-ranking position within the regiment. 
(https://i.imgur.com/CWoAqSK.png) (https://i.imgur.com/uCNaT3a.png) 5e Régiment des Voltigeurs de la Garde Impériale Light Infantry [Leader - BlackHawk] (~15)
It has always been somewhat complicated to rank the light infantry regiments as there was never a competitive scene for them. That being said, if such thing had existed, the 5e Régiment de Voltigeurs would surely deserve its place among the best. Impressive by its capacity to decimate a regiment at long range, they also improved in melee by the years and had some excellent players, individually speaking, while managing to preserve a friendly atmosphere within their ranks. More than a regiment, the 5e was a big family and if they don’t play NW nowadays, they continue to stick together as a group..
(https://i.imgur.com/JPgca9a.png) (https://i.imgur.com/uCNaT3a.png) 7e Régiment de Hussard Hussars [Leader - Pierrus] (~15)
If the other regiments from the IVe Corps never really gave too much importance to the individual titles and other competitive experiences in the NW community, it’s another story for the 7e Hussard. Without a doubt the best French cavalry of the whole NW scene, the regiment was lead at the beginning by Pierrus and Mat, from Mount & Musket to the start of the NW era. But its definitely Erik, Sukesa, Peponi and Exofrance who helped the 7e Hussard earning its stripes by winning a CWNL 1st place and many other tournaments, and therefore establishing their regiment as one of the most feared and respected structure of the EU cavalry scene. .
(https://i.imgur.com/3kekdn1.png) (https://i.imgur.com/uCNaT3a.png) 9e Régiment d'Artillerie à pied Artillery [Leader - Ulysse Grant] (~5)
But if I had to pick one regiment among all of them to represent the IVe at best, it would be the 9e Régiment d’Artillerie à pied. Stable as a wall, modest, quiet. The 9e has always been doing his work but never took much credits for it. Lead by Chronos, a veteran among the artillery captains, for a really long time, the 9e is currently lead by Ulysse Grant who took over after Chronos’s departure and continue to make the 9e’s canons resonating on the battlefield for years now. The 9e also hold an incredible number of records but you will hardly see them cocking about it because same as the all the regiments of the IVe Corps, what matters is the teamwork they can produce together, not the individual achievements. That’s how they get the job done.

The 8th Coalition







(https://i.imgur.com/wwanUpd.png) (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsteamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcountryflags%2Fpl.gif&hash=01bb3c2a2cd01fc0ad9a680f8a6d1ebebaf4f096) 14. Pułk Kirasjerów Heavy Cavalry [Leader - Patrykus] (~15)
Anyone who call himself a cavalry player veteran and doesn't know the 14pk is automatically a fool to my eyes. They were without a doubt one of the most sucessful polish regiment of the whole NW, if not the most successful, and maintened a healthy rivalry  with the 7e Hussard which at this time was the Number 1 Cavalry Regiment on the scene, making them also feared within the EU community. The guys were just massive force which could be unleashed at any moment on the battlefield, absolutely unstoppable. I feel honestly lucky to have been given the chance to see them in action so often, back then, that was something.
(https://i.imgur.com/aRAfK8i.png) (https://i.imgur.com/h19u6fj.png) 8.Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Line Infantry [Leader - Vampyr] (~35)
If there was one regiment I could get back from the old days, one regiment I would want back, that wouldn't be the 91st nor the 91st or Nr24 but certainly the 8lr. Because unlike the first three, I really feel that they didn't really get the recognition they truly deserved. Indisputably the best german line infantry regiment, the 8lr was also a positive force within the community, respectul, mature, lads and its too often we forgot about them. And if I had to pick one of the saddest day as well in this community, one would surely be the day when Vampyr publicy announced their retirement from the community. You felt a giant was gone. And an impotant part of the NW/MM community as well.
(https://i.imgur.com/RJK3R58.png) (https://i.imgur.com/QDlWXxu.png) 60th Royal American Rifles Light Infantry [Leader - Peter] (~15)
Before being known as FSE martyrs and fighters of the tyrany, the 60th was actually a relatively serious regiment, quite skilled and mostly famous for its 'hit and run' strategies which used to decimate lines before they could even see where the firing would come from. The regiment was lead by Peter Broetz, and seconded during this event but Shortshorts I believe. And as you can see on the video, they were extremely deadly throughout the whole event and a massive factor of our victory, even if they kept complaining 'we should have let them more kills.' British skirmishers at their finest.
(https://i.imgur.com/zqo5s9F.png) (https://i.imgur.com/uCNaT3a.png) 75e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne Line Infantry + Artillery Company [Leader - MacAaron] (~40)
If many remember the 14e as the best french regiment in the EU and French scene since they won the NWL and competed at the highest level for years, there was a little french regiment called the 75e which started from basically nothing and during 6 months (the 1st edition) got to play and face the best, and even defeat some. Some great french names, like Sinjide, Aexos, Clash, Breizh, Bessières, Tibérias and many more were inniatally part of this regiment and after the 14e obviously, it was the most competitive and skilled regiment of the french scene and a quite known structure within the EU scene as well, quite based on the 91st and on the 92nd ones, but with the french touch.




CONCLUSION

This event if anything, proved that it doesn't take ages to get a good teamplay and synergy. Simply the capacity to set-up good whispers and use this communication at the best of its possibility. That's what the Coalition did and its honestly nothing spectacular. But it worked because all the regiments were among the best in their respective categories and because instead of simply doing things on their own, they worked together throughout the whole event towards the same goal, defeating the IVe Corps. There was no individual prowess in this event but simply massive teamwork’s and joy to play with and against people you respect.
On the IVe’ side however it was a bit of a different story. They fairly admitted that they were not prepared to such a challenge but what was probably the most problematic issue with them is that they never really seemed willing to adapt themselves to what the Coalition was doing, one of the big criticism from the regimental leaders of the IVe Corps towards the High Commanding Officers.

The 7e Hussard was actually one of the rare regiment capable of fighting on an equal footing with the 14pk but they, alone, couldn’t change the faith of that battle.

Amazing Tardet... Love your posts as always.

If you are going to carry on doing this.. You have to jump on the 14e events. The highlight of 2013-14 were the 14e Thursday and Sunday Line events. Lots of competition, no small lines, even a cannon on a Sunday! Not sure if anyone else agrees but there hasn't been an event to those standards since. When I disbanded the 83rd to form 18e in 2013, they were the events I looked forward to the most as an upcoming competitive regiment :D

Thanks a lot for the nice comments Bob and Price. And yeah, those events were indeed really nice. Not sure there would be a point narrating them from my perspective but I will surely come to talk about the 14e anyways.

Depends, I think he would be down with the idea if he knows Hekko is aswell. They were two of the greatest personalities I've met on NW, having one without the other would piss me off, not gonna lie. :p

Quote from: Tardet
I can't quite remember the first time I got to talk to Pride but I surely know it's been a long time ago. To me it look like he has always been somewhat around, acting the same way he has always been acting after years within the community. One thing which always impressed me with him and which might surprise people is that Pride has always been a rather honest person in the sense that it seems he never gave false or unnecessary compliments but instead always intended to say what he had in mind, no matter the situation. Obviously, he is an incorrigible troll and will always be yet he managed to accomplish more than most with his regiment and in a way which is certainly uncommon when you look at the other 'sucessful' structures within the competitive community. Pride will always be Pride, sometimes he can be annoying as hell, but sometimes his presence can also be extremly refreshing. And atleast you know what to except coming from him which isn't a given in the NW community.

COMMUNITY CHRONICLES (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=35819.0): INTERVIEW



PRIDEOFNI
The Irish Memer


Within the community of older players who are still active on NW, you are certainly regarded as one of the oldest veterans. Could you tell the readers how it started for you and outline your path to becoming one of the most distinguished regiment leaders in the community?

'I started playing in late MM Prussia and into MM Russia within the 6e Brigade, the only people around from that particular group nowadays are Norseman, Razz or Mikkel. Under a short space of time I took over the 6e skirms, having no desire to do so but was pushed into the position. Moreover I had little to no idea what was happening or what I was doing but managed to build up a core membership which I still talk to today (having met some in real life).

The K-KA was made by us going into NW and its been off and on for some time now, and through all of that we went through several phases of having several different unit types, attending purely community events such as Crusaders Saturday lb, coming up with CavGroupfighting, hosting tournaments and more so now to attending highly competitive events.

My "fame" probably stems from the fact a large proportion of community members has at some point or time joined, played against or invited for the K-KA... that and my ability to be a living meme. The K-KA and myself have been involved in many things over the years from hosting Cav and Infantry Groupfighting to playing and winning in tournaments like NWL, RGL and NCL.'


You've indeed lead the K-KA for years now, a regiment which despite a more relaxed atmopshere than most other 'big' regiments of the same stature, managed to establish itself as one of the very best, especially in the late days. How did you manage to get this competitiveness among your ranks while also not always taking the game as serious as others

‘I am naturally a competitive person, so that does come through from time to time but I am always aware this is a game, if you are too anal it ruins peoples fun - something that can be very easily forgotten when you are one of the "big" regiments and want to win. I don't think it’s sustainable to be as serious as regiments were a few years ago, not only for the players but also the people leading, it can be extremely draining... or at least it is for me. While i know we probably comes across to most people that we aren't very serious, we do have our moments - if the situation is tense and competitive enough we do become a bit less "silly". Our large number of community veterans help to enable an environment; they know the limits I expect.’


Much like the previous interviewee Maurice, you have also dedicated a lot of time to the administration of the Groupfighting Server. Could you outline what your exact involvement has been from the beginning of your involvement in the project until now?

'First and foremost I enjoy Groupfighting so I enjoy being on the server.

I was first involved in it during Tavington's administration becoming an admin and helping with general maintenance of the server. That followed onto Lewis' administration where I was also an admin and then Co-owner. Unfortunately due to him being a bit uninterested with the server, the quality and payments became unreliable, because of this I had the opportunity to take it over as a full owner. By doing so I tried to de-politicise the server after a long period of it being used as a tool. I also tried to improve the reliability, server scripts, admin team and maps - I think these changes and the help I receive from Maurice helped to bring new life into the server and something I'm happy was mostly kept on. After having it for a long time and during a period where i had lost interest in the game / lack of time I decided to let it go so someone else could put the effort in - Pieter. Once I came back the server was eventually owned by Bob and I was back on the admin team. I try to help out where I can with; the Groupfighting website leaderboard being design by me as an attempt to improve the competitiveness of the server - something I feel has started to become lacking over the last year or so.'


Since day one, you’ve always maintained a reasonable activity on the FSE forums, but in a similar fashion to the way you have managed your regiment over the years, most of your messages are often not really serious or rather nonchalant in their tone (when you’re not simply bantering with friends). Do you feel that this seemingly more relaxed approach to leading is something important to you as a means of distinguishing yourself from your counterparts, or is it simply a part of your nature?

'I do have some serious conversions on here but when I come here I don't feel the need to be discussing anything serious, its more a place for me to chill on, although once again just as ingame over the last year my interaction with the wider community has become reduced. The forum used to be a great place to come - I just feel as of late its a bit boring and overly regulated. I'm not sure if that's purely down to there not being the interesting people around that used to be here or the fact many of the decisions taken by the forum administration have been an active killer of the community.

Of course the image a person portrays is important, particularly a regiment leader as it tends to give insight on how their community is, so I tried to "be my self" as much as possible - I am probably a bit more serious than people expect all the same.'


The community has gone through some significant changes over the last few years but despite the ups and downs the K-KA is still active and competitive today. The K-KA have been placed in League 1 of the newly founded European Cup and are among the favorites to achieve a high place in the tables. How are you guys feeling about it?

'Honestly we've been around the top for a while so feeling "excited" about being one of the favourites to win is not like it used to be; for example when us and the 91st had a very, very close run in the NCL and NWL series, that was very enjoyable... now, not to the same extent. That being said, I am looking forward to this tournament, there has been a heavy focus on groupfighting as of late so it is good to get that diversity and with the recent friendly results that have been posted I think there could we be a few surprises and unexpected challenges.'


Thanks a lot for the interview Pride. If you want to talk about something which has a special meaning to you, mention a few people, any sort of shout-out or share a special memory, this is your moment.

There is absolutely no way I could name all the cool people I've met over the years but its been a blast the last few years within this community and its survivability despite everything that happens is amazing. I'd like to thank you Tardet for asking me to do this, I hope someone finds my answers worth the read.

Thanks a lot to Pride who accepted this interview, and to Munj who helped me re-write and reword the questions in a better way aswell as some smaller details. Quite happy to have someone that reliable to my side.

A bit thanks to Moskito aswell who offered to create some design. I will add it to the interviews and articles already made but you can expect to have it for the upcoming ones.

Many more interviews to come aswell as some articles hopefully. Thanks for taking the time to read, hope you will like it.

Asked Evanovic and Hekko, they both accepted, still have to work on the questions tho so not sure they will be the next ones to be interviewed. Also I don't really care who is or isn't a native english speaker, not really a criteria for the people I want to interview ! :)

Might also try to write an article has I've only been doing one so far, have some stuff in minds which could be fun, just have to find the time. I also know some people want to write stuff as they have contacted me, they just need time too I suppose.
