Thanks for all the positive comments guys, means alot :D

In respect to the arty I included the option but even in the last season (where both teams had to agree on it) we had 6/8 teams sign-up with it and I think a grand total of like 2 or 3 matches actually used it... I suppose the real crunch is whether people can stomach lights being involved.

Lights should be involved, because like last year this tournament wasnt "competitive" or sweaty at all, even when both sides wanted to win.
This felt more like a linebattle ofc.

If there will be lights in this tournament, then there will be, i think, a lower chance of stack between top cav and inf regiments.

The more involved the merrier!

If you want to keep a relatively competitive aspect with the inclusion of the lights option, can always nerf the lights by forcing them to take cav muskets as opposed to infantry muskets. 
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!?

Lots of options as you say. Don't worry too much about team stacks as we'll have some team balancing stipulations in place, probably along the lines of 'top 3 regs in div1 RGL can't be in same team' alongside a 'max of 2 comp regs per team'.

Then may I suggest that the winner of RGL division 2 also be barred from playing with those top rgl regiments as it would create quite the skill imbalance.

I would consider most regs who participated in RGL (either Div) to be competitive so therefore would fall under the max 2 comp regs rule. The first point I gave however was simply referring to preventing the top 3 regs in Div1 from playing together in a team; considering mass player movements after the tournie that would be.... yourselves, 92nd, 28th & 96y (since ex-92nd/18th went multiple ways).

Its all up for debate though, these are just concepts I have used before :) nothing new.

Arty is basically  anti camping thing why nobody wants it
Because secretly people love 60 minute rounds

Lights + arty are good because you need above 100 IQ to not get wiped by them (To elaborate, line regiments that form up infront of arty/lights are widespread and I laugh at them and it's why many officers hate it - they can't cope with it).

Basically, it necessitates quality leadership and greater tactical coordination. The NWBC is good for separating the wheat from the chaff.

Wdym. With arty both teams can still camp between hills. Arty also makes going forwards/pushing positions even more difficult resulting in MORE camping, if anything.

if you use simple cannons then it helps camping, because when you move up a hill, u risk dieing without a chance to charge the enemies in a couple of seconds

if you use howitzers there won't be camping, because they can shoot over hills
