Gaz
About him Gaz'z only leadership experience has came leading the 77y over the last 8 years. It's had its highs and lows of competitive success and throughout all of NW's years and Gaz has always been known as one of the best tactical leaders throughout these years. Many of the times the 77y did win a gold, silver or bronze medal which they have the third most in total below 15thYR and the K-KA). These podium spots include NWL (Napoleonic Wars League), NLC (Napoleonic Linebattle Cup) and the NWCL (Napoleonic Wars Champions League). During many of these podium spots the 77y were not the strongest regiment on paper and often had significantly weaker line-ups where Gaz's strong leadership allowed them to win my taking the advantage before engaging in melee where if they went in outnumbered they would most likely lose. | TavingtonAbout him Tavingtons only leadership experience came leading the 91st Highlanders, one of the most feared & notorious regiments in all of NW's history. He ruled this with an iron fist and was known forcing high levels of both discipline and teamwork within his members. The 91st always had a very strong roster but they played in a highly competitive era so a good leader was still required to achieve success. During his command of the 91st they won the first season of NWL (Napoleonic Wars League), the second season of NLC (Napoleonic Linebattle Cup) and the 5th season of NWL. As well as a few other top 3 placements. | HekkoAbout him Hekko lead the 15e originally in Mount & Musket and then a few years later in NW's period lead the Nr.24 which during its life span was debatably the most feared regiment in the NW DLC in its time. Not to be mistaken by just their pure melee ability the Nr.24's leadership was of the top caliber and very experienced. Hekko always found a way for them to get into melee without losing too many troops as they knew as long as the losses were not too heavy that they'd be able to overcome the majority of regiments even with a slight deficit. They had very few losses or draws aside from the odd slip-up such as the famed 5pp draw during NWL during Hekko's time leading. | VerdiebAbout him Verdieb lead another of the stronger/strongest regiments in the earlier NW era and possibly the strongest French regiment of NW's time (though this is of course up for debate). He was a more patient leader than most of the others in this list but that does not detract from his ability. During his time at the helm the 14e achieved 1st place in season 2 NWL'S (Napoleonic Wars League) league 2 and then won league 1 the season after. They then came 2nd in the fourth season as well. As an all French regiment it is argument during their more successful years prior to their more recent reform that they had a less 'stacked' roster than many of the regiments they competed against. | PieterAbout him Pieter's first regimental leadership role came in the 15thYR where he was 2nd in command until he formed the 17e as Colonel. It was around this time that he began to show his leading prowess where the 17e dominated both line and groupfighting style events/tournaments/leagues. Of course they had a very strong roster but it still requires a good leader at the helm to have such success. This was further supported when he lead Belgium & the Netherlands in the Nations 1v1 Cup where he beat the UK in the final controversially. |

| GiAbout him Gi's only regimental leadership role came within the 15thYR where he has been at the helm for several years now and has achieved more success than any other leader over those years and maybe over the entirety of NW's years other than perhaps Gaz. It is without a doubt that he is tactically one of the best leaders throughout NW's history even though he has played with a very strong roster in his regiment over these years. Aside from this Gi also lead the UK in the Nations 1v1 Cup where the UK came 2nd to the Netherlands & Belgium team lead by Pieter. During 15thYR's successful years they won the most regimental tournaments/leagues achieving fourteen gold medals and several silver/bronzes. | PoshAbout him Posh's leadership experience was mainly in the original 17e of the NW DLC. Aside from this he did rank as an NCO in a few other regiments such as the 2ndCSG and 22nd. During his time leading the 17e through vigorous training on mainly public server players or players from his past regiment, the 2ndCSG he trained up one of the strongest regiments of the earlier era's of the NW DLC. His leadership had to be good in order to obtain results as the roster was one of the less stacked playing in the first editions of the NWL (Napoleonic Wars League). The 17e won the 1st edition of NWL's league 2 which as it was the first edition had a mixed batch of strong and weak regiments within it. The regiment also won the 3rdFG Cup which was a knockout style regimental tournament defeating the 22nd in the final. | ChrisehAbout him Chriseh's leadership experience came in several stints/versions of the 18e. They were known as a few other names such as the 27th but ultimately they were all the same regiment with a similar core and the same leadership. Chriseh won the NWL Season 9 (Napoleonic Wars League) once with the 18e (there was quite some controversy around this win due to the K-KA dropping out who had beaten the 18e giving them a default win to beat the 15thYR in the end). But aside from the controversial win the regiment achieved very good results, especially for a roster that was significantly weaker than several other regiments competing in the competition that year. | DasBrotAbout him All of DasBrot's leading experience came within his own regiment the 6teGarde. The 6te Garde never had the best or most stacked of rosters of all the German regiments let alone others. But that did not Stop DasBrot practicing unique formations with his members. Some of these simply looked cool but others like their quick form formation started a base that many leaders still use to this day. The 6te had a good amount of surprise results in NWL (Napoleonic Wars League) due to his leading ability including a win vs the K-KA and close linebattles with the original 8Lr who were the best German regiment at the time.
| PrideofNiAbout him PrideofNi's leadership experience all came within the K-KA (Kaiserlich und Königliche Armee) in both the early era of NW and once they reformed after their initial disband a few months later. In the earlier era's that K-KA played the regiment had a lot more success than in the later one when it came to linebattle style events purely because the new roster had no patience for these events as time passed, Pride also began to lose that same patience in the later period. During their stronger years, they won many tournaments such as the Won 6th season of NWL as well as ten top two placements in total. |

HekkoAbout him Hekko was the inventor/creator of the NWEC (Napoleonic Wars European Cup) which lead to the creation of the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup) createdby Herishey once he had dropped out of the community after Nr.24 disbanded. This was the first and at the time only nation style tournament. He hosted the NWEC from 2011 up until 2013 at which point he dropped out of the community as mentioned before. Aside from this Hekko also hosted several more minor tournaments such as 5v5 tournaments or the fisrt randomised team tournament that I can remember, which was a 5v5 Randomised in 2013. | HerisheyAbout him Since around 2014 Herishey has been involved in the tournament scene. Starting off with minor tournaments such as the [FG] series. He was the creator of several tournament concepts such as the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup) once Hekko had stopped hosting the NWEC (Napoleonic Wars European Cup), the Duel League (FG Duel League), M-NWWC (Mini Napoleonic Wars World Cup) and the creator of TOG (Tournament Organisational Group). TOG was the first attempt at making a group of all the current organisers with official referee's, rulesets and servers to help other hosts and improve tournament quality. On top of this he hosted/co-hosted twenty+ minor tournaments such as duel, 5v5 and sword/bayonet tournaments and four editions of the NWWC as well as two of the Mini-NWWC. He also helped host NWL in two of it's final seasons and has helped with the majority of other tournaments at some point over the years such as hosting an edition of the GFL (Groupfighting League) and RGT (Regimental Groupfighting Tournament). Aside from these more 'serious' tournaments Herishey hosted many casual tournaments such as the hunger games tournament, randomised tournaments and decremental tournaments. | MarxeiL About him MarxeiL created his own M.Tournaments series which gained its own board a few years back. He has been hosting tournaments even before then though starting to help host or co-host in around 2016. He has hosted fifteen+ minor tournaments in this time and co-hosted many others. He is also the eventor/creator of the Tiered Duel League. MarxeiL also hosted an edition of the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup), the MRGL (Regimental Groupfighting League) and the NWFL (Napoleonic Wars Fantasy League). | TavingtonAbout him Tavington hosted tournaments during the entire duration of the 91st in both it's stints. These were always in the same format which was the 5v5 with 1 sword format. These were seen as iconic during this era and pretty much the only tournament hosted with the exception of the NWEC. He hosted ten+ of these over the period and this format still crops up from time to time to this day. | VolubleAbout him Voluble is one of the more recent hosts and only started hosting in about mid 2019. He started by hosting fairly minor tournaments just the standard 5v5, 6v6, etc formats. Since then however he has helped with several more major projects such as TOG (Tournament Organisation Group) and EGS (European Groupfighting Series) which is now going into it's 3rd season. EGS is along the same lines of what TOG Was but has been much more successful and gone on for much longer than TOG did due to the dedication of Voluble and the rest of the team. This has helped improve tournament quality greatly and pretty much now controls the majority of the competitive scene (at least team wise) in Mount & Blade's Napoleonic Wars DLC scene. |

| TardetAbout him Tardet has been known over the majority of NW's time but I think he started properly hosting around 2013-14. Tardet has also been involved in the vast majority of major tournaments over the years such as hosting a couple editions of RGL. He has also hosted fifteen+ minor tournaments over the years too in varied formats such as 5v5, 6v6 or tournaments involving swords that not too many hosts get involved in. | DasBrotAbout him DasBrot was one of the two inventors of the NWL (Napoleonic Wars League) which was the first major regimental linebattle tournament. He hosted this event over 8 seasons, Bever stopped after 5 which is why DasBrot has been included here in his absence. | CazasarAbout him Cazasar was one of three creators of the RGL (Regimental Groupfighting League), the first proper regimental groupfighting league, before this there was only the Regimental Groupfighting Tournament which was a knockout, then later groups and knockout style tournament. He helped the other two (Pheon!x and Rommel) host this event for 6 seasons before others took over in their absence. On top of this he was also one of the creators of the NLC (Napoleonic Linebattle Cup) with the same organisational team. He also hosted NWWC once with the same team but half way through the two others went inactive and this edition was then continued with Herishey. | ChrisehAbout him Chriseh also known as John Price created and hosted the EIC (European Infantry Cup) for four seasons. He also hosted the RGT ( Regimental Groupfighting Tournament) for several seasons after Karth dropped it and ever since. He has also helped with 2 editions of the RGL and co-hosted a few other events. | KoreAbout him Kore over the years has generally took more minor roles in the scene such as co-hosting major tournaments such as the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup), RGL (Regimental Groupfighting League), etc. But aside from that he has also hosted/co-hosted several minor tournaments (10+) and at hosted some major ones of his own such as the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup) as the main host for one season. |

Kincaid About him Kincaid has hosted many events over the last few years. These include things like the 33rds prestigious LOTR (Lord of the Rings), historical and normal linebattles. As well as more major works that could be seen as either competitive or casual depending who you ask such as the NWBC (Napoleonic Wars Battle Championship) which he created in which all forms of regiments/armies are brought together to fight in a competitive version of a casual linebattle. As well as his other invention of the Napoleonic Campaign where linebattles are played to fight through a virtual map of Europe. Aside from this Kincaid also hosted the Regimental 2v2 tournament for 2 seasons, although this is competitive rather than casual I felt it should be mentioned as he isn't mentioned in the competitive area. All of these events use a wide range of custom maps. | DamsAbout him Dams has hosted the IVe events such as their linebattle or sieges for several years now which have remained to be one of the most consistent and popular events over the period. | TavingtonAbout him Tavington hosted two of the most reknowned linebattles in early NW (the 91st Thursday/Sunday linebattles) that were very popular and very exclusive to get into. They generally only accepted the more skilled regiments that would come at the time as they wanted it to be a high skilled and competitive linebattle rather than a normal casual linebattle. They only used custom maps, even for the maps that seemed random in order for them to be balanced. | CurlyConnorAbout him CurlyConnor hosted the 2nd linebattles/events as well as the original version of the Trenchbattle event that is still going today but under new hosts. Trenchbattle was pretty much exactly what it said in the name. An Napoleonic Wars linebattle with maps designed to be like a World War One trench battle. He hosted between the 2014-2019 years and much like most of the hosts that made it into this list the events used custom maps. | MalakithAbout him Malakith hosted the early 77y events for quite a few years up until he eventually retired from the 77y. In the early days this event brough in hundreds if not thousands of players into the Napoleonic Wars DLC through Malakiths YouTube videos. The event was extremely popular for its first few years. The event didn't always use custom maps but used quite a few as well as adaptations of the original maps. |

| KieranAbout him Kieran hosted the 19th events including the 19th Saturday & Sunday Linebattles and the Friday Modded event for over 3 years now. These events have been very popular over these years and although I've never been to one personally I've heard great things about them from fellow 19th members and those who have attended. I believe its quality is backed up by it's attendance where at certain points in recent months it's been one of the very few events that reaches the full capacity of two hundred. | FennyAbout him Fenny hosted the 8th Royal linebattles & conquests from 2013 up until late 2016. These events were fairly standard Napoleonic Wars Linebattles/Conquests but were always properly hosted and very popular during these earlier years of NW. An average event always had a full server for Fenny and the 8th events. | Peter BroetzSpoiler Peter Broetz hosted the renown 60th Rifles events as well as the K-KA ones. This included three different linebattles that were all very popular during their time. | FelixSpoiler Felix hosted several 'special'/'unique' events between 2013-16 to promote his server company Arctic Servers as well as any new Napoleonic Wars modes/features that FSE (Flying Squirrel Entertainment) brought in. These included events such as the first ever pirate battle event that went on for a few months after it's first trial. | ZebaadSpoiler Zebaad hosted several linebattle events such as the 47th linebattles and he also hosted some more unique events with some of the custom maps he himself created. These more unique events included events such as the first ever melee only siege and a deathrun. |

HekkoAbout him Hekko began playing in the early days of MM and made both the 15e and the Nr.24 which were both highly successful regiments of their time. On the hosting side Hekko was the inventor/creator of the NWEC (Napoleonic Wars European Cup) which lead to the creation of the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup) created by Herishey once he had dropped out of the community after Nr.24 disbanded. This was the first and at the time only nation-style tournament. He hosted the NWEC from 2011 up until 2013 at which point he dropped out of the community as mentioned before. Aside from this Hekko also hosted several more minor tournaments such as 5v5 tournaments or the first randomised team tournament that I can remember, which was a 5v5 Randomised in 2013. | TardetAbout him Tardet from a community aspect aside from his tournament/hosting contribution he was also known to help create/maintain strong regiments at an officer level such as the 75e, 85e and the 13e. He has always been heavily involved in the community from all aspects including moderating over the forums also over the last few years and just generally helping out in general. If you don't know him from that you've most likely seen some of his lengthy posts on regimental/event threads summarising or updating on event or regimental status and these are truly a sight to behold and certainly not short of effort. Tardet has also been known over the majority of NW's time but I think he started properly hosting around 2013-14. Tardet has also been involved in the vast majority of major tournaments over the years such as hosting a couple of editions of RGL. He has also hosted fifteen+ minor tournaments over the years too in varied formats such as 5v5, 6v6 or tournaments involving swords that not too many hosts get involved in. He also had a YouTube channel where he covered several events and tournaments. | DasBrotAbout him DasBrot was one of the two inventors of the NWL (Napoleonic Wars League) which was the first major regimental linebattle tournament. He hosted this event over 8 seasons, Bever stopped after 5 which is why DasBrot has been included here in his absence. | VolubleAbout him Voluble from a community perspective has been involved heavily in regiments like the 66th, K-KA and 92nd as an NCO and on the groupfighting team front teams like ChimpZ wihch he lead with ThrowUptheX, ProudBoys and Poosy as well as leading team England in 2020 with Herishey to a win in the NWWC. But where what he is probably more known for is that he is also one of the more recent hosts and only started hosting in about mid 2019. He started by hosting fairly minor tournaments just the standard 5v5, 6v6, etc formats. Since then however, he has helped with several more major projects such as TOG (Tournament Organisation Group) and EGS (European Groupfighting Series) which is now going into its 3rd season. EGS is along the same lines of what TOG Was but has been much more successful and gone on for much longer than TOG did due to the dedication of Voluble, and the rest of the team. This has helped improve tournament quality greatly and pretty much now controls the majority of the competitive scene (at least team-wise) in Mount & Blade's Napoleonic Wars DLC scene. He also has a YouTube channel where he shows short highlight clips and some matches. | HerisheyAbout him Herishey aside from his hosting/competitive involved has been involved like Tardet in most community areas of the Napoleonic Wars DLC. He was a Community Representative on FSE for over a year until he was promoted to moderator where he has now since became a senior moderator, he is also the top poster here and creator of the all-time list with Gibby. He also created the [FG] (Foot Guards) which was the 2nd ever melee clan doing groupfightings and 1v1 linebattles at 8pm after the FFE (Friends Federation of Excellence). He was also an NCO/CO of several renown regiments such as the K-KA, 91st, 17e and 3rdFG. On the groupfighting side of things he captained England four times to two wins, one third and a second place. He also created The Disciples and TFFO (The Forbidden Fucking Order) as well as a few other minor teams. Since around 2014 Herishey has been involved in the tournament scene. Starting off with minor tournaments such as the [FG] series. He was the creator of several tournament concepts such as the NWWC (Napoleonic Wars World Cup) once Hekko had stopped hosting the NWEC (Napoleonic Wars European Cup), the Duel League (FG Duel League), M-NWWC (Mini Napoleonic Wars World Cup) and the creator of TOG (Tournament Organisational Group). TOG was the first attempt at making a group of all the current organisers with official referee's, rulesets and servers to help other hosts and improve tournament quality.

| MrSt3fanAbout him MrSt3fan was I believe the longest standing leader of the 33rd Regiment of Foot and lead them through arguably their strongest period as a regiment competitively. He also hosted several casual events (mainly just the 33rd's events that have been ongoing over the years during his period in command). Aside from this he also had his own sever company which donated to both casual and competitive events to be used. | CazasarAbout him Cazasar was involved as an NCO in the Spartans and captained Germany several years to their first and only win in NWWC (Napleonic Wars World Cup) as well as a third place. Cazasar was also one of three creators of the RGL (Regimental Groupfighting League), the first proper regimental groupfighting league, before this there was only the Regimental Groupfighting Tournament which was a knockout, then later groups and knockout style tournament. He helped the other two (Pheon!x and Rommel) host this event for 6 seasons before others took over in their absence. On top of this, he was also one of the creators of the NLC (Napoleonic Linebattle Cup) with the same organisational team. He also hosted NWWC once with the same team but halfway through the two others went inactive and this edition was then continued with Herishey. | MalakithAbout him Malakith was one of the founding members and the major of the 77y for a long period of time until around mid-2015. during this time he brought thousands of players to the Napoleonic Wars DLC via his videos. He was also an FSE moderator for a period of time. Malakith also hosted the early 77y events for quite a few years up until he eventually retired from the 77y. In the early days this event brought in hundreds if not thousands of players into the Napoleonic Wars DLC through Malakiths YouTube videos. The event was extremely popular for its first few years. The event didn't always use custom maps but used quite a few as well as adaptations of the original maps. Malakith was one of the more popular YouTubers that was actually heavily involved in the community be that with 77y or his time as a moderator on FSE. He made a lot of videos over his time active on Mount & Blade's NW DLC which included 77y promotions, linebattles, sieges and other events. His 77y siege event videos tended to be the most popular of the series which helped him get his forty thousand plus subscribers and hundreds of thousands of views. These videos helped bring countless people into | TavingtonAbout him Tavington created the 91st Regiment in two different competitive era's which was/is one of the most known regiments in NW's history even though it was not one of the longest alive mainly for their great melee, discipline , and teamwork. He also ran the Groupfighting Sever when melee groupfighting and 'Groupfighting' competed against one another for the player-base and maintained this during both stints of the 91st's existence. Tavington also hosted tournaments during the entire duration of the 91st in both it's stints. These were always in the same format which was the 5v5 with 1 sword format. These were seen as iconic during this era and pretty much the only tournament hosted with the exception of the NWEC. He hosted ten+ of these over the period and this format still crops up from time to time to this day. | MarxeiL About him MarxeiL Co-lead several Russian regiments and was NCO in some others like 92nd, 96y and 17th_JR.
