1v1s can be fun if you dont get shot every round and make it to a melee fight. As someone once said, a 1v1 is basically just taking a few shots at each other and then pretend its a groupfight. So I would take a 1v1 GF over a 1v1 linebattle everyday.

Non campy 1v1s are enjoyable. Soon as one side hill camps, fun lost.

1v1's were better back before people started doing bullshittery. 2018 and prior was fun.

I've been NCO/CO/Ranker in plenty of regiments over my stupidly long NW lifetime and I've been through ups and downs with them, honestly now I don't mind them again if it's for a tournament such as EIC but anything outside of that I can't be assed for a 1-2 hour event of just camping which happens in most cases sadly when you play in a 'better' regiment.

I’m bad at melee so yes, shooting in 1v1s is the only way I can feel useful and contributing to the regiment /s

on the real side having been both a ranker and a co I do still prefer 1v1s. The tactics and overall strategy is something I do genuinely enjoy, and watching 2 lines be disciplined, try to get tactical advantages or negate their own disadvantages is something that groupfighting doesn’t really have an equivalent for imo. I can see why (especially the most skilled) players might not like it and be frustrated, but personally I feel that 1v1ing combines everything I enjoy about the game into one: tactics, leadership, and melee.

And yeah, bit of truth in my joking statement. When I was a new player who hadn’t known how to melee whatsoever, 1v1ing allowed me to at least have some control and have fun, inspiring me to want play the game more.

Had my introduction to the game been through going 0-23 in a group fight I wouldn’t have stayed.

1v1 have more aspects than gf. Surely we can say that 1v1 contains GF.

In 1v1 officer can outplay giga GF stacks  with good shoots, and make advantage in GF.

Its more interesting than GFs when from begining we actually know that some regiments have stronger roster(which one leaves from regiment afrer another 2nd RGL place)

I remebmer that some 96y players were really good at shooting, so there is another chance for them to win something instead of 0 15 on GFs.


I like 1v1 tournaments. but i dont like practise matches.

I love doing 1v1's but getting the people motivated to do them is truly disgusting in the last 3 years. Also, camping regiments don't really help to have great pleasure in this format.

1v1's were better back before people started doing bullshittery. 2018 and prior was fun.
I can agree, back in the days 1v1's could range from 20-30 attendance, now in these days you gotta be lucky to have 15 =/+

I'm sure I've even been in 40+ 1v1's to be honest back in 91st/92nd days. Maybe also 14e/84e/17e and some others I may have forgotten.

Yeah possible, they were way larger which makes it more fun imo. Since regiments, don't mind going -5/6 since they can get that back even more easily. Now if you lose 3-5 guys its pretty hard to win the round when only having 10-12  people left haha.
Reason why 'weaker' regiments camp since they want that early advantage by shooting and camping on the hill to get that early advantage.

You also never used to have people dropping weaker players either so you had max attendance.

It was important to me that everyone in 18e plays 5 rounds if thats possible. Winning 6 rounds is zZz

1v1s, at least for leaders, is only really fun if its 20/25+, the bigger the lines the better as the rounds aren't as autistic where regiments count each others' shots and keep reversing endlessly - leaders can actually go for shooting plays as opposed to just copying whatever the other line is doing.

Larger 1v1s also makes the straight up melees much less cancerous for players too, where regiments can actually form a a line in the melees as opposed to the cockroach drag the enemy away and run which really do drag on.

Just because the playstyle of leaders in the 2020's is so fucking unintuative and most top tier regiments have been focusing on groupfighting for so many years doesn't mean that its the only playstyle that works. Its just people copy what works for others.

Playstyle of German regiments are a good example, Nr13 even still has that old playstyle and it works sometimes. Its just unfortunately they aren't 15thYR, 96y, 55th or 45th so they get plowed in melee.

i think the complete opposite is true.
