Issue #19: Staying Afloat

Get Your Sea Legs! There will be a Naval Event this Thursday at 20:00 CEST, the usual training time. It has been a little while since we took to the seas, so we hope this will be a welcome diversion for all of us, especially for the newer members who may not have taken part in any organised naval play. This event will replace the Thursday Training for this week, so be sure to attend tonight's Tuesday Training at 20:00 CEST to brush up on our commands and maneuvers. As for Thursday, remember to pack your swimming trunks and join us for some splashy fun in the sun!

Anvil Insights! This weekend, another Dev Blog went live detailing the contents of the upcoming Holdfast Update. A big emphasis still lies with improvements to the melee combat. To this end, the developers decided it would be best to upgrade the game engine to Unity 2017, allowing for more freedom in fine-tuning the mechanics. This change is also said to improve performance in large scale battles. On top of all this, we can look forward to a redesigned spawning system, along with a more detailed UI - All in preparation for the introduction of Prussia.

Sunday Funday! We hope you were pleased by our performance in the last Sunday Linebattle - We certainly were! It was also great to see more than 50 people in attendance that night, including more than a dozen of our newest recruits. Notably, we managed to achieve victory even in one particular round which saw our team at a 20 man disadvantage! It is always elating to see our training pay off.
Missed the event? Worry not, Ferkison live-streamed it! Why not catch the VOD on his Twitch?

Here are the upcoming events for this week: Tonight at 20:00 CEST, we will host our Tuesday Training. This is the most important event for newer members, as we go through all the commands with you in great depth. The Thursday Event, featuring Naval Play, is at 20:00 CEST. The Saturday Public Linebattle is at 20:00 CEST and the Sunday Linebattle happens at 20:00 CEST. Done! This has been the Minden News™, containing 100% of your recommended weekly dosage for news, hot facts and other regimental happenings! As always, we will see you on the battlefield.
