It's my pleasure to announce the first session of Royal KungsArmé Basic Combat Training.

SCHEDULE (TENTATIVE)
Wed Oct 28th - 10PM EST
Wed Nov 11th - 10 PM EST
Sat Nov 21th - 10 PM EST - POSTPONED. Will reschedule for another night.
3rd Date TBD

Newer to the game?
Looking to pick up some basic training?
Want to help out newer pilots?
Come on in, you're invited, we’re looking for you!!


These first installments will cover the following topics (subject to change)
Mech selections for group drops
Mech Build questions and recommendations
Tactical Maneuvers
Battle Comms
Situational Awareness
The importance of a simple well understood plan that's followed
Efficiently killing clan mechs (IS too )

Primarily these first sessions will be geared towards the new or inexperienced player looking
to improve their performance when working with a team. Sessions will be adapted based on the participants.

We will aim to keep these sessions around 60-90 minutes of private drops with Q&A after for those who want to stick around.

Please respond if you are interested in being a trainer or have any suggestions/questions on the training content.

Sounds like a good thing for newer pilots. Learn something, hang out with some good pilots and cool folks.

I would certainly love to tag along on some of these sessions when I am on the hub - you can teach old dogs new tricks - it just takes a little longer is all:)

[Jarl Dane]

Awesome. I'll try to get my Wreccan to make an appearance.

[Cadaverine]

If I'm able to be online, I would love to drop in. There is never such a thing as having too much knowledge.

[Tarogato]

I'll try to be around for if you need an extra 'mech on the field.

[Vikingur]

Any chance to include the viking timezone? (CET)

Creston & co. - I wanted to doubly thank you - not only for this, but for helping with the joint KellHounds / Browncoats trainings previously - and for the help with the 'training drops' with the newer/training players, and the scrimmage with CWI's version of what we're doing, their trainee 'epsilon galaxy' - all of that was a good time.
We'll be there, and I think word is getting around.

[Sjorpha]

This is a great initiative, I will try to be there and help with training next time.

[Tarogato]

You should put the schedule up at the top with bullet points and very loud bold font. And strikethrough the already passed dates. =3

Seconded.

Also, I appreciate the tentative times. 10pm EST is a time I can actually make without breaking anything schedule-wise. I'm abundantly aware that won't be the case for everybody, but I appreciate it myself nonetheless.

I'm willing to help and learn, provided nothing crops up at the last minute to foil my plan to do so.

Any idea when the next training session will be?

[Jarl Dane]

We're going to try a train-the-trainers next week, and then have a open training session the following one.

[Iamacup]

I Would be very keen to get in on some basic training. Following this post!!

[Lovas]

I would love to attend these. If someone is bored just hit me up when you're on line or let me know when you will be. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I've been playing for about a month now and really having a good time. But I'm wanting to be a better support player. So I what to learn what mechs to buy and how to equip them to be most effective. So I'm building my C-bills. I have like 13mil.

Thanks so much,

Eld'arwen

[BoldricKent]

Shoot, there been a lot of 35 % price off sells lately...but to give you few tips.
Hopefully in month of playing you found your mech class preference..that will be your corner stone.
Secondly to get certain chassis mastered you need 3 variants off it, if you have choosen
IS tech, you will be forced in most cases to dish out additional 2,5 mil per mech over asking price (
thats average cost for double heat sink and endo steel upgrade, which are mandatory).
I would suggest Enforcer or Hunchback as starter mech, one can teach you JJ,XL and arm weapon points,
second std, peeking-high mounted weapon point, both are mediums that can tank well if you pilot
them right...best of luck in your buy.

Any chance of resurrecting this?

After a break, I came back, and did some pugging -and... let's say i realized there was still a place - ok a need - for new player help -
so....
https://mwomercs.com...es/page__st__60

and - some of the loose alliance of 2 and 3 man returning units asked about actual training nights, etc - so - be great to have that to offer them.

And - the ReSeRVes 'new player training unit' that Duke E and Lord Creston were training - could use new trainers - and someone willing to take the mantle and run the unit.
Cheerios!

We tried ressurrecting it, but leadership fell apart.
