41:04 🐯Hellooooooo!!!🤣

GG 🐯

That buck and ball volley at 32:15 shows how overpowered buck and ball is in any close quarter fight.

16:14 Let that be a lesson for you.

There are many walls, but this one is mine. SECOND TO NONE! Kotow always give the best coverage.

2nd to none!!! We held the wall, lol. good game, everyone.

10:34 ya we thought friendlies were closer on them and were pushing and didn't realize the other two units were behind us. Small lapse in judgement/awareness but Ohe well hindsight is 20/20.

Hey I like to panic, also not like this not like this

Great charge from TKO 24:00

9:36 Look at CSA melted into the concealment like butter on a muffin while Union stands in plain sight. Dying with a ramrod in your hand isn't what makes a Hero. Hmmmmm, muffins....

25:50 When faced with close combat using only timber fencing for cover, first adjust yourself to break up your profile entirely, then reload. The last thing you want to do is provide a man-shaped target to an enemy who is only 50 feet away and aiming a .55 Caliber Musket at you. Your primary goal is survive your next reload.

made it in the video lol

25:25 The good ole crouch and pounce babyyyyyyy

The hardest working man in ALL of WOR. Keep up the great work sir.

Ah yes the racists game, good riddance too

2024 has been a good year for WoR, I feel. The zombie event was a highlight In 2025 the game needs to give the drummer a gameplay function. Perhaps an aura effect to make players march quicker. That and maybe prolong their stamina during running Also, add CAVALRY. Even if it's just a single horse for the commanding officer initially. The bigger maps could really benefit from cavalry and the added gameplay element would be appreciated. If it's unruly and imbalanced, official events can just ban them like Sharps rifles

I bought the game in January of 2020 and didn’t really like it then, only returning in March of this year (2024), and even in my short time, I find myself enjoying the game, but needing more. The fact of the matter is, the game needs substantial updates to entice veteran players to keep playing and to draw new ones in. The record numbers of players doesn’t mean much if you aren’t retaining them. Now I’m not saying that the devs need to add everything under the sun, but the last patch (other than the zombie event hot fixes) changed 12 bottle textures for rooms (that most can’t see due to the lack of a gamma slider). The devs are solid people for historical analysis and information gathering, but the actual development side is lacking. There hasn’t been really anything to draw people in, even the original development map has things that were promised, and still haven’t been delivered (ie Shepherdstown). I want this game to survive and thrive, but the devs need to work on meaningful updates other than minor texture changes or adding units to the customization system.

Map editor and/or a Battlefield-esque 'Rush' mode would be huge

Speaking with community leaders might give some very interesting ideas and viewpoints. Would be a very interesting video

Valiant sacrifice by the IVB to buy the 42nd time around 11:00

I wish I was as optimistic, but I see the game in a tough place - doing anything more than tweaks and maintaining would require investment on the devs part, and the game simply does not have the playerbase growth to justify that. And I think it's pretty clear that it's not going to get it - it's been out for 6 years and has never managed to be more than niche. the 42nd has abandoned our cav branch because the odds of it happening are remote It's the kind of game that could be sustained by its very dedicated community, by focusing on developing moddability but so far Campfire doesn't seem interested - even an extremely basic "custom game" setting where you can set ticket amounts isn't allowed. Steam sales are what brings in players but regiment play keeps them playing - if I were Campfire, I'd focus on adding stuff to make the regiments happier while pivoting to more limited time events like zombies as relatively inexpensive ways to get influxes of new players Different scale, but Bohemia Interactive has managed to do basically nothing for a decade except support modders. I would point to that as a model for Campfie

I still remember people leaving over counterattack (starts with eis ends with man), good times.

i remember that 2022-2023 did have moments during the day with max players in a server that surpass the average of the month. Plus adding more players in the server have increase the average i notice.

Also I think talking about this phenomenon with community leaders would lead to really interesting perspectives.

Lets hope they don't spoil this good year by letting in drop again before they are forced to put out something substantial.

It would be interesting to talk with some leaders because i think the general numbers can be quite different in regimental/closed games, for example we see fewer numbers in summer months despite the general numbers trending upwards

Devs have flat out said they will NEVER add new maps and absolutel WILL NOT add other famous hostorical battles as they are "done to death" and would rather release small mega obscure batttles instead if they ever did.

Honestly I feel a lot more pessimistic about the game than the Data suggests but maybe its just general fatique after over 6 and a half years of playing this game und the very limited amount of updates with actual content over the years. Well we'll see what the future holds for this game.

Very enlightening.

I was suprise how long time pass from realy big updates like arty :(

Great video to reflect on how far WoR has come. Thank you for posting this!

I think a map editor would do wonders for the game as at the moment we are at the mercy of where the devs have placed things in the maps, some of which we have been playing for like 5 years. At the very least, being able to set points of contention on the current maps would help.

“CB” stands for Corn Brigade

The game would be better if snowflakes like you left.

13:20 Remember, move cover to cover not cover to open ground in plain sight of enemy. Eyeballs are weapons too.

14:07 Even rebel officers have a rambo problem. 😔

Great to hear you, thanks for the upload!

20:22 That is humping your cover.

3:38 See, it's about angles of interaction. The sharper your angle of attack the less they hit you. They end up with empty rifles. You have a full load - and are angling in on them before they can reload.

I'm just a Dogface Soldier!! " Rock Of The Marne "

Great event folks EB for life!

44:29 it was not fake news after all 😅 -1stLieut. T. Parker

Great video I was at the event ❤

Always love leaning the over all action and not just what I see down my arty piece great night and looking forward to the action tomorrow

Was gunning under Lt Mattis and had some amazing shots always fun to watch your videos kotow

Hey ! About the game, well the USA strategy was : keep 2 units (with cav) on the right, to manuever as freely as possible and keep the CSA busy (great job NYV, 20thGA & TG on the manuevers on that) ; and have the rest of the team force through the CSA right Overall our objective objective is to always keep the CSA engaged in combat to bleed them out regardless of our losses, this way they thould be down on Breaking quite early (for this map). Even if we lost more men, we only lost a total of 40 seconds by going final push so these were kind of affordable losses. Them being on early Breaking forces them to defend the point by showing themselves, which means we can shoot them effectively into last stand quite fast (which we wouldn't be able to do if they hadn't an obligation to show themselves to defend point), and win ! Huzzah for the USA on this one ! And thanks again to Kotow for the show ! Cheers from II Corps, Edgar

13:46 Commendable Action for Private TheYapper. Possible Promotion In Order For Initiative And Skill Under Combat Conditions.

5:50 When you ORDER a Volley inside 'mixing/headshot' range of the enemy you render your entire unit 'Gunless' for nearly 30 Seconds. Disarming your entire unit, rendering them unable to fire their rifle while enemy moves in on you - should get you Demoted. And another thing for the rhubarbs among you. A Volley Fire Command reduces aiming by 50%. The men simply point and pull as Ordered. Independent Fire allows personal judgment, targeting and tracking. These factors increase hit ratios by 50% overall. Not allowing your men the ability to track and aim while in close combat is never going to be your job. Every shot is a rifle range lesson. Every battle is a War Academy. Learn from everything, particularly your mistakes.
