It's the same old thing since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And air bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying...

I am curious as to who you guys honestly felt was the most impactful to the community as a whole, not just the competitive scene.  I recall 1stEPI Gunny and 5arge having a huge impact on how regiments would be run.  I also know that people like Tico, Jorge, Millander, Kolakhan, and others who came out of the 1stEPI/similar regiments, had huge impacts as well.  I think honestly the Prussian Army was hands down one of the most influential group of people for the NA side of NW because they really started the organization of events, how regiments were run, and how the community SHOULD interact with each other.

Probably most impactful overall, also most impactful negatively- Karth

Most impactful positively, for me at least- Jackie Chan. Showed me what was possible in the game while he was in 63e.

Lol I have too much knowledge about this game lol hahahahahhahaha I guess my perspective covers a longer period of time lol

But I do see how Karth could be someone who had the most impact, I could also see how Jackie could as well.

Probably. I use these two pieces of evidence to back up my claim, but you're already familiar with them.

retirement of key leaders low key had a huge impact
This.

People lost a stable home regiment and either quit or moved to a regiment with a set following and leadership.

For example the 1a Svea run that happened recently started as a stack and contender but quickly fell apart due to lack of interest and stability

Bandwagons have always formed from 2+ regiments having their key leaders retire causing them to join with a reg that hasn’t had that issue. If people spent less time complaining about the strength of regiments and more time building and developing a loyal core there would be less bandwagons!

one thing I liked about my group was that we didn't have any large group of outsiders join that thought they were better than us. I didnt really interact with the community for the majority of my time and we just stuck to ourselves, and i think building our own small and dedicated community is what made it so much fun for me
