I crashed about 3 times last night :/
Bloody annoying
If you can read this, then good for you.
There are a few people that have showed some good leadership qualities last nightOk folks, a little bit of seriousness.
Worf and I were talking the other day regarding squads and the platoons. As most folks are starting to feel, squad combat is important and extrememly effective if done properly. To that end, we need to look for folks who are can help translate a teams goals and objectives on a squad level, basically a squad leader. This becomes important in clan play as it helps if the squad commanders are able to concentrate on objectives and the squad functions as a unit to achieve them. Squad leadership has nothing to do with individual skill but far more with the ability to co-ordinate and direct the squad. Commmand is not a one way street and the most effective squads are those who can trust in a leader.
Over the next while as we play together these people should naturaly come forward in the communications. Don't be shy to speak up on ts regarading your squad and to members in it, letting each other know what is happening in and around you is key. Feel out your teamies, who do you enjoy and work together well with in a squad, who naturally compliments each other. Think of all these things and once we've played for a while together and before a tourney or league, we can finilise a more formal role. Keep in mind the whole idea is to have fun so its not so much a leader as electing a person with the best mouth and keeps the squad together when the sh** hits
Squad composition and skill learning: A couple folks will ask this question, general or specialist. It is up to you, find the role tha makes you feel the most comfortable and don't be afraid to switch. I do recomend that a person gains at least the primary tools in each skill set ( repair tools , defribs etc ) so if needed the squad can switch as needed. Generally squad combat is far mor effective with a mix of roles ( assualt, support, engineer ). Recons are a tricky story because by nature they are not squadies however don't knock the idea of a good recon. In a clannie it may be better to have a recon squad that spots around a large map and helps direct other squads towards targets. Or a recon that runs point for a squad but not neccesarily longe range more short range equipped.
All these mechanincs we will figure out together as we go. Get on TS, join the rageand have fun!
Platoon motto ideas wanted
"myBB: When we join, even WAGE servers explode..."I am much more of a team player myself, and don't mind following orders.
If you can read this, then good for you.
I agree, we'll see how it develops. Also got to get used to more people again on TS.Ok folks, a little bit of seriousness.

I also think we should all be able to play at least another kit. Some maps are more engi heavy than others. You need to be slightly adaptable I feel. Also pilots, we need people that can stay in the air without crashing. Helis and prob jets.

Hey Mike7, what's your IGN? Like Sundstromenator says, it helps if you have a squad of guys to tag along with in the beginning. Makes the whole game experience more forgiving because you have someone who can revive you and on whom you can spawn.
Can't wait to get my new rig up and going. Got my self the I5-2500k for the same price as the i5-2500. must now save for a decent graphics card to replace my 5770 with.
Hahaha! Yeah that was my tank. Got a bit reckless and tried to ramp the stairs. Massive fail.GORY51!!!!
You killed me a million times last night you ****
Had some really fun games last night, thanks dudes
And we managed to get a BMP stuck on top of a car
Yeah, you came and joined us at like 22:30. After a while you will recognise people's voices
The round before that was intensely epic. When the whole squad was in the BMP cruising round to flags. Loved the dynamic - get near the flag, infantry unloads and then moves up with the bmp covering. Super effective. We should definately try that again.
Speaking about squad leading I would like to be considered to lead a squad. Not from an egotistical standpoint - just that I've had some experience squadleading in arma and really enjoy that side of things. Leadership to me is about facilitating the strengths of the squad and kind of sheparding that towards a common goal. I dont believe in dictatorial leadership - humble yet assertive leadership is my game - calling on the wisdom of the group as much as possible but making sure that the outcome is effective and goal orientated. Anyway - Im sure some guys can attest to this. Saying all that - If others are more suitable I have no problem following either. As long as we kick ass and take names I'll follow to grave. Respawn after respawn =p .
Also - if we have multiple squads it could be worthwile structuring them into infantry/ mechanized and logistics/ support. Had a bit of a taste of multiple squads working together with vehicles and infantry and we dominated. Transport alone is something that can be a game changer - getting a squad behind enemy lines and then supporting/ reinforcing them thorughout their op. Dig it! getting excited just thinking about it.
+1. You're a good squad leader and I will be happy to follow.
Yea and then maybe he would shoot me less

Easy folks, easy, it's still early days, like I said, those who want can step up in game and when we register for tourney/league we make more official designations but the nice thing about the squads and being so small is that everyone at some point should lead a squad .... because teamies die and those critical seconds of revive and re-adjust are crucial.
Oh thats another thing by the way folks. Keep in mind that in a squad you are a mobile spawn point so if you are the last guy standing and being hunted, go to ground and have your squad re-formup and take them out together.
Oh sorry, I didnt really mean for tournaments or anything. I just meant for casual play. Thought it would be cool to play with a more formal regular unit (formal is probably the wrong word. Consistent maybe?) - but yeah, I agree. Early days yet. Hopefully see you boys tonight.
This is all very exciting! Just wish I could play as often as I would like to! Between work, studying and family! Dammit!
Just clear up a few things about the squad, regard to the league.
Current we only have one leaque squad which can only consist of 8 players per match, this said we could consider a 2nd squad,
A squad and B squad. (the down side is you might end up competing against one another, unless we can prove squad A is in a better league than B.)
"A" squad needs to be the better and more determined players who will, without fail, be available for every match, for RL issue we'll have reserves. Those that have played in the league before, know how much fun it was,but also knows how taxing/tiring it gets towards the end.
"B" squad can be for the misfits and those keen for a match now again. Here we will fill the sqaud in almost, a first come, first serve basses if need be.
So with this in mind we'll have 4 squads each consisting of 4 players (2 squads for "A" and 2 for ""B")
this means we should look at 4 squad leaders and one Platoon leader.
The Platoon leader will be required to organise the leaque match's, bookings etc and co-ordinate the squad leaders.
Moving over to multi these squad leaders can grab a squad and other members can join on them. If by luck we have all squads on , the chances are we can full oneside, as attacker/defenders etc. Hate to know what ppl will think when all oneside is running with myBB tags lol.
All above is open for debate and better suggestions.
those that take recon should consider the mobile spawn point device as a option, just make sure you hide it as the enemy can destory it if they find it.
Sounds great! Think I will fit in there
