Don't know if the 59th were ever any good competitively. Kaide a bit of a one trick pony with that middle of the line L formation 
Haha glad you still remembered that L formation.
Our model was a bit different from most regiments. We had a regular supply of fresh recruits from our public servers (NWRP and Jailbreak). So unlike other regiments, we didn't need to keep harvesting the same old players, which allowed us to develop and train our own.
For over our 5-year history in NW our line company was never up there with the level of the 91st or 92nd. But was certainly up there in the top 5 after 2014. Though our Light company really was the best Light company in NW for a very long time. From around 2013 - 2018. Till we left for holdfast. Our Cav company was excellent too and developed a decent reputation. Towards the end, we were one of only a few regiments that could field three companies without attendance issue. So man for man we were not the best. In terms of fielding three highly skilled and well-attended companies, we were one of the best.
Though, I'll never forget the 59th & 15YR coalition in that brigade cup final against the 33rd and 77Y. 59th lights and cavalry made short work of the 77y and 33rd. Combined with the melee of the 15YR!. Most average FSE plebs won't give the 59th credit. Though most NW leaders accept that the 59th achieved alot and was well known for its good community stability, great events and good discipline and large numbers. That helped keep NW public servers playable with NWRP and Jailbreak. Many regiments managed to recruit new players of our community servers.
The K-KA brigade in its day was fantastic. It won the Napoleon Cavalry Cup and the NWL in the same year. So I'd say the K-KA was the greatest with that achievement. Major respect to the K-KA in that regard. And over the years they had good (meme) Rifles like the 60th. The K-KA could field 60 men and would dominate with its line, light and cavalry in its day. The K-KA was the only real competition to the 59th in terms of skill and size. Though in terms of stability and longevity, we edge it because of course, the K-K was a brigade and the 59th a unified regiment.
I felt the 77y were great but lacked cavalry and there skirms were very open to being killed by cavalry. I never understood why the 77y continued to have Arty. When most NW events moved past this Arty events after 2013. Though the 77y certainly has the oldest line, skirms and arty company in NW.
For me the K-KA was the greatest overall regiment, without a doubt.
