Training Day

Recommended Posts

Hi all

We at Zeus http://zeus-community.net/ were thinking it would be nice to run an Open Tactical Training Day on a Wednesday night at 7.30 pm GMT for players who want to learn how to play in a tactical style.

The training will be on ArmA II 1.05 NO MODs

Each team will be Broken into 4/5 person teams with a Zeus member as fire team leader

Basic simple TeamSpeak Communications and use of channels and good verbal reports:

You should also know how to give good contact reports

What will this be about?

There will be several sessions and the following tactical aspects will be dealt with; mostly in a normal mission playing environment:

Movement and use of terrain

Walker: I would like to send one fireteam to your event, is it possible? 2-5 members.

I'm also creating a large training camp on Isla Duala where all situations can be tested out, from basic obstacle course drills to bounding overwatch, weapons practice, street danger area crossing, ambush withdrawal training etc. mostly based on Dslyecxi's manual.

I didn't get any feedback? Walker?

As far as I am aware, there has been poitiions reserved for all those that have posted in this thread and therefore should be no problem at all.

Ref the useage of 3rd party islands, the server that has been set up for this runs BIS vanilla which was an intentional decision to make it easier for newcomers to connect (e.g not having to download and setup addons)
