From the Department of Military Education in conjunction with Strategy and Tactics, Reservist Readiness and Mercenary Relations.

To the heroic saga-worthy FRR units and Lonewolves:

The KungsArmé will begin holding FRR-wide training sessions twice a week on Sunday and Wednesday at 8pm EST, 7pm CST, 6pm MST, 5pm PST (NA timezones). It is the belief of the KungsArmé high command that joint training exercises between available units (at those times) will result in greater coordination and success in on our on-going war for survival.

While it is important now, it will be especially important after mixed-unit drops are implemented.

These training sessions are scheduled to last 90 minutes and will be led by Mech The Dane. If you are serious about contributing to the war effort and can find the time, we urge you to attend.

Listen up.

This will be a serious training session. It will not be us grouping in 12 man's and just scrimming all day long. We're going start at the beginning and work on fundamentals.

I need everyone who is showing up to bring the right attitude. I need teachable trainable individuals. If you don't like listening, if you don't like being serious or competitive, if you just want to blow up some robots and not concern yourself with the finer details of being good - then this is not for you.

But if you have patience and willingness to do what it takes to be better and to make the FRR better, then by all means please come. Depending on the volume of people we have showing up I will likely need a few commanders from other units to help me out - if you want that PM me on these forums.

We're going to start at the very beginning, movement training. Walking together, getting into firing lines, and wheeling around corners. If we have time we might incorporate some non-verbal focus firing drills and some basic instruction in how to get the most out of your mech.

The Dates:

Wednesdays: 8pm EST, 7pm CST, 6pm MST, 5pm PST
Sundays: 8pm EST, 7pm CST, 6pm MST, 5pm PST

The Place:
FRR HUB TS just look for me

If you can't figure it out Lenn you are probably better off playing Steiner.

[Jarl Dane]

If possible let your units know about this and spread the word to any lonewolves you see kicking around.

[Kamikaze Viking]

A lots of people will be quite surprised to see how much a little bit of 'walking around' practice actually helps in battle when its comes time to start shooting.

[Jarl Dane]

Heads up.
I altered the time to make it an hour earlier. I didn't want it encroaching too much into "crunch" time before the day ends.

[Publius]

How would one go about attending these training sessions?

[Jarl Dane]

Show up on the FRR hub.

[Adverse Reaction]

Is it worth jumping in even if showing up an hour late, or is this going to be a "miss the flight and you're out" kinda thing?

[Warchild Corsair]

It's 14.00 CET (German time) - so perhaps that's possible for some Phoenix Legionaires to attend. We'll see

Thanks for the invitation.

It can't hurt to show up. But around then we'll start transitioning into our regular 12 man attacks in CW, as the cease-fire-moon will be rising.

I take it these are still going? Think you'll be running them after the first of the year? Very much down to drop in a few of these once I have some time in the schedule again.

[Jarl Dane]

Assuming they are successful and I don't lose my mind, I see no reason why to stop having them.

Maybe I do the math wrong, but I think it's more like 1am in Germany.

So it would be NA only. Does FRR think about doing stuff like this for international time zones too?

Would gladly join your cause.

Damn your right. Mixed up am and pm

It's really 0200 hours so in the middle of the night here...

[Jarl Dane]

Yes, I am sorry European Units. That time is the only one I am available for, however if some European units wanted to also host a training session - I see no reason why not. Just get with me and we can figure it out.

[Jarl Dane]

20 minutes and counting.

[Jarl Dane]

Great Training today. Great showing.

Lets do it again on Sunday at the times listed in the post. Tell your friends, tell your units. Lets get everyone involved in this.

We're building the KungsArme one drop at a time.

Title: Royal Kungsarmé Training Debrief
Date: Classified
Origin: The Desk of General Mech The Dane of the Kungsarmé
Intended: FRR House Units, FRR lonewolves and the Kungsarmé

Content:

Good day gentleman,

I just wanted to go over a quick debrief of our first Kungsarmé training exercises. We had a total of 23 MechWarriors make the training session. This includes warriors from: The 1st Hussars, the 5th Drakons, the Skjaldborg, the 2323, and the Isengrim. There were also some lonewolves and members of smaller Rasalhague units present as well.

We had a nice mix of veteran warriors and recent recruits and together we worked on a couple standard movement drills. We got everyone accustomed to moving together, and hopefully in their future engagements this will be something they are able to use.

We did two 20 minute private drops on Frozen City Night and Crimson Strait. The majority of the time we worked on our drills and we ended each session with a live-fire exercise.

It is my intent that in the future we will run through these movement exercises at the beginning of each training session. As we become more proficient at them and as more members of the Kungsarmé learn them, we will be able to do them quickly and move on to newer and more advanced drills.

In all I believe we planted the seed to a well coordinated multi-unit force.

We will be having another practice this Sunday. I encourage everyone who attended the 1st to also come to this, and everyone who couldn't, to try to make it as well. I believe the regulars will find themselves becoming leaders in the Kungsarmé forces.

If you have suggestions, feel free to meet with me in the half hour before practice, or PM on the forums. The 1st Hussars mentioned wanting to include an aiming practice on Sunday, so we'll try to accommodate that in our 2nd 20 minute drops.

That is all. Keep up the good work. You're making the Kungsarmé proud.

-Mech The Dane
