I see both sides of the argument personally. My PoV is the same as Hertz. Only if there is a shortage of regiments total in which there isn't.
All you guys are doing is arguing a bad point which TL;DR is "we are biased because we have multiple companies, you cannot have opinion because you do not". What 45th do with their members and where they play is entirely up to them and isn't valid on the discussion at hand.
NW has been out for 10 years and in all that time this has never even been a thing of debate even while bigger and much better regiments like 92nd, 91st, OG 33rd etc. were kicking around and had WAY more reasons for having multiple companies than against. Yet never not even once, despite having multiple conversations about it was this rule ever in question.
Its a REGIMENTAL groupfighting tournament meant to seek the best regiments out of whats active. Putting your centre companies with whichever overflow players that can't make your main roster against pubbie and pleb regs in L2/L3 is silly and won't be happening. The only way it could be pheasable is if the admin team gets to choose who you can and cannot have on those rosters which is a whole can of bullshit waiting to be opened.
Having a couple of thousand active members like the 45thN, isnt rly an excuse to justify a 2nd position even in an other league imo. We ve been getting the most attendance from any regiment in events, and yet we can hardly find 15 people dedicated in groupfighing. Its what you build your community arround. Saying that, yeah we are not the best, not rly care if they end up with 2 them or the 92nd, we just want to be able to fight
Finally! Someone else with an actual opinion on the arguement!
At the end of the day what this says is that every regiment has differen't requirements on how it uses its members. Some will make benefit of the rule some won't.
Thanks
