Ad victoriam !

After a lot of talking with different actors of the NW regimental scene, the return of Dash, one of the creators of the 85e, initiated our shift as a proper competitive regiment by signing up to the EIC alongside the 31e. Dash had always been a rather discrete guy, especially on the European scene but his impact within the 85e was a huge reason that explained the success met by the french regiment on a European level. He was always a huge asset to keep our loads of egos in check and naturally appeared as the perfect person to take charge of the regiment. With Tardet responsible for the regimental management and ClaSh handling the competitive aspect of the 13e, we were finally set for a community launch, having mustered a small yet active roster of twenty french lads and a handful of British friends willing to try this new adventure with us.

But more importantly, was left to discuss the goals of the 13e as a regiment. As a wise man once said, a vision without a strategy remains an illusion and it was really important for our group of players to not replicate the same mistakes we made with former regiments of ours. The beginning of such projects are always powered by a honeymoon period that inevitably stops and when it does, history showed we were never capable to maintain our regiments strong & active. Although the 85e v1 & v2 were formidable experiences that will hardly ever be matched, we failed — as a group — to exist outside of the competition we were signed up to. The 14e coming back for an RGT, 2v2 & RGL was an enjoyable throwback for the veterans of our scene, French and Europeans, but it was never meant to be a lasting force that would return for good. These french projects always lacked one thing: constancy. As such, this will be our keyword moving forwards with the 13e. For the durability of the scene and our own enjoyment, this regiment cannot apply a similar formula and, although we want to always be able to dream big, we have to acknowledge from scratch that it will take time and efforts for a french regiment to establish itself at the top for the foreseeable future. If we are to become the new home for the next generation of french and european competitive players, we must first show we have grown as individuals and as a group, and let time do its work. Because at the end of the day, that's the only factor that will help to judge the 13e's impact.
Time, and what we made of it.
