The MOST INSPIRING Leader EVER (Holdfast) 

3 years later and here's part 2! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZEJYiIfXDLU.html

Anyone who’s able to hold together a bunch of meme addicted, trigger happy pvpers earns my respect.

I'd follow that man straight into Mordor

holy shit I just installed this game yesterday and ran into this guy, after 2 matches with the french he switched to the british team and went full on winston churchill

If he was at Waterloo, England would be speaking French today.

when the roleplay is so good everyone actually takes commands and stays organized.

There are two types of people: Those who expect their games to be fun, and those who make games fun for everyone.

French man: Fire at will! Will: *Screams in confusion*

Girlfriend: maybe he's cheating out there Me and the bois:

Everyones talkin about his accent but im amazed that all the player were like.. listening to him.. he would say hold your fire and they wouldnt shoot. Thats incredible in of itself!

The flutist throughout this entire thing was.... magnificent.

3:43 Gee-zeeass krist, we are losing men!"

I wonder what the enemy team was thinking when they saw a French accented dude and a bunch of memers holding muskets it must have been terrifying

"Close, but no baguette!" - Sea Captain Gromett, The Flying Baguette

When you max out your Charisma.

3:46 - "Quick come with me, there's the greatest role player ever this way" The French Captain: "Role play?"

Had the priviledge of meeting this fine gentleman he was a great time

Prussia - 150% discipline Gromit - *200% discipline*

"For the love of France. For the love of Napoleon. For the love of God. Charge!"

"We'll cut them down like the blades of grass that they are" I love that line 😂

"For the love of France, for the love of Napoleon, for the love of God, Charge!" Ok who's ready to bring the French Empire back...

In battle there are many things needed: A Captain with a cartoonish french accent. A Squad. And most importantly. The guy with the flute.

The captain and the constant flute are precious

2:43 this is undoubtedly the best part in a youtube video this year

British Team: *Exists* Captain Gromit: I’m gonna end this man’s whole career

I'm quite amazed this many people were actually following his orders. Most of the time the players are just Leeroy Jenkins-ing all over the place. I love that "Charge" shout

The genuine concern in Captain Grommits voice as he yelled "No its too dangerous" would alone be enough to bring satin to tears...

he kept discipline even in a retreat, usually players would just keep fighting and accept a death. Jeez this guy is great.

This guy needs to be the next voice actor for Total War: Napoleon II

“YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND YOUR FATHER SMELT OF ELDERBERRIES”

"Ah hon hon hon" -Napoleon, Battle of Austerlitz, 1805

Beautiful video. xD Favorite Bits: Meeting the French Accent Dude - 0:50 That Flute Guy - 4:03 Running With Musket Over His Head - 6:49 Flag Barrier Reporting - 8:19 One Man Army - 14:26 Epic Fails Begin - 15:47 Epic Duel Begins - 16:12

That french man alone could have defeated the Nazi's if he was an Officer.

“We will catch them with their pants down, the way I like my men! Heh heh” *wot*

2:42 *GENTLEMEN, FOR THE LOVE OF FRANCE, FOR THE LOVE OF NAPOLEON, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHARGE!!!!!!* *VIVE LA FRANCE*

"We will catch them with their pants down. That is the way I like my men, huh huh!" Speech 100

you can't imagine how French people laugh to this, I watched it with my father who does not even speak English and he was just crrying of laugh :')

I gotta say, people who put their all into it heighten the experience for all. I love it!

It always pisses me off when people in-game like this don't work together. This just shows how coordination and teamwork effect warfare.

Playing as french, led by a man with a french accent, then the music playing at the background are definitely british.

Truly Napoleon reborn. But seriously, the fact that he can actually maintain discipline (as well as can be realistically expected) is amazing on itself. the guy is actually a good commander.

If they had that guy in the Waterloo battle. We would all be speaking French now.

No ones talking about how the man in the attic had the most epic last stand

The fact that he makes *_Hohoho_* after almost every sentence is this why that leader is legendary! 😂😂😂😂

3:44 lmao 😂😂😂😂 "Jesus christ were losing men" that french accent 😂😂😂😂

the british on the EU servers have a similar guy called Sir Kensington, hes hilarious

Imagine playing and you see an actual line of players that fire almost simultaneously at your direction.

"Hon hon hon, baget" Never laughed so hard, lmao!

I love when gaming community's do this without thinking or scheduling

This one person makes me want to get this game and play it, having not known it existed 5 minutes ago

History Channel Exclusive: Top 10 Greatest Military Leaders in History

The way the captain died during the last stand was truly fighting, he was one of the last to fall, giving commands to the bitter end. And the shot that took him out was just brutal

Truly beautiful display *sheds a tear*

This french guy is born to be a Voice actor

14:25 this guy laughing and while fighting for France haha.

If he was born in the Napoleon era, he would have been made general XD

The British have Richard Sharpe. The French have Captain Grommit, a true leader of men.

There should be a price for such guys. Brings the game to life man, his accent is spot on

2:49 I love that scene bro! I rewatched it like 20 times and still laughing about it.

I'm still waiting for him to receive his Legion of Honour

I'd follow that man in to battle

And here we see the deadliness of what happens when you use organization and tactics in a multiplayer game

*TAKE AIM* British team: *Why do i hear boss music?*

I think I played with this guy the other day. It was an amazing experience, both funny and immersing.

Good God. This man needs to be a colonel of a regiment... Brings me back, back to the good old days of Monty Python.

"Dying is easy, but, dying tastefully? That, yes, that is France!"

I got recommended this video 5 years after it was made; I’m not disappointed. History has not yet forgotten Captaine Gromette.

Can we just appreciate their cooperation, and ofcourse the capitan. And also, those three men in the end who didn't give up easily.

I remember during the launch of Archeage, there was this quest that only one person could complete at a time. Rather than dissolving into chaos, the community actually formed a line, and even had people sticking around to police the more impatient players. The system lasted a good few hours as well, and people even had dance partys while they waited. Twas truly an amazing experience. :)

Germans: We are a truly disciplined army Gromit: Hold my beer

Absolute mad lad. More games need people like him, fun roleplayers that are actually good at this stuff. Often doesn't go together, but this guy aces it.

The potential of the game was fully realized with such a captain. I got a boost of the French spirit when watching .Thanks for sharing!

This small firing line in this game is way more effective than a massive group of bunched up undisciplined troops taking single shots whenever they feel like it. Even a game like this when taken seriously shows why they used certain tactics back then that we don't use today. When the first world war broke out, hundreds upon hundreds of men were slaughtered every hour during battles due to people using dated weapons with outdated tactics. One of the most common tactics used along the western front is one side throwing as many soldiers as possible at the defending trench until they were overwhelmed. This tactic was used for most of the war. When John Monash came along, he was one of the first commanders to take that little bit of extra time to strategize his attacks. Because of the massive advancement of technology between gunpowder warfare and the great war, a whole new arsenal of tactics came along with it. Monash's first major victory consisted of getting the Germans used to common gas attacks at the same time every day with no following attack. With their visibility limited due to the gas masks, he then used old and noisy aircraft to cover up the sound of tanks rolling across the field. Victory came with very little bloodshed. But back in the 18th century, you could take 150 men, line them up and not be afraid of them being gunned down by machine guns.

You have to make that captain part of your regular series, he was fantastic

2:41 "Gentlemen! For the love of France, for the love of Napoleon, for the love of God, CHARGE!"

14:26 Sorry *master Gromit* but i have to go all out, *just this once.*

"I shall make you proud" "No its to dangerous!"

15:00 "We shall catch them with their pants down!... That is the way I like my men! hon hon hon hon!!!" :)

*"Do you believe in God now Jack?"*

"No, it is too dangerous!" Gets popped. This is why you listen to the OC!

2:41 lmfao perfect speech before charging into battle lol that got me a lil hype ngl

I'm French and genuinely amused by the accurate accent :)

He has my sword, my gun and my loyalty

"We cut them down like the blades of grass they are!" Inspiring stuff

Captain: Hold.....hold.....(heard BANG!)......HOLD DAMN IT!! I'm dead😂😂

Does that captain have a youtube channel? hes amazing!

Imagine the sheer frustration of the other team being so disorganized and trying to individually come up with attack plans only to have this team counter everything they do, en masse!

What a legend. To this day is still on the firing line saying "take aim, fire! Reload and take aim."

12:12 I’m a coward I’m running!😂😂

When in the French Team RP with a french accent When in the English Team RP with Winston Churchill "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

Oh man I'm glad this video was in my recommended for some reason. What a Hero. I've never seen anyone hold together an army of gamers like this in a game before. The Captain deserves a medal for keeping his troops in line. Plus it's hilarious.

They trusted in his leadership and he wasn't bad, Captain Gromit is an inspiration. Long live Captain Gromit.

Someday, I'll be just like that brave flute warrior. A true inspiration.

The world will never forget... Captain Gromit.

I’ve maybe seen 3 videos on this game and I’m completely sold. This community seems like so much fun.

i love how the piccolo soldier is just minding his own business and playing music for the soldiers😂😂😂

Great to seeing you play this mate! This game deserves so much more attention!

He had them fall back? Talk about dedication to the role! Lol

I whould follow this man into ww1

Where do I sign up? I'll follow that man wherever he leads me.
