Issue #12: The Man in the High Castle

Come into my castle! But only you - In fact, this Thursday we will be capturing and defending forts in a Coastal Siege Event! As with previous Thursday events, this one will take place at 20:00 CET. Based on what we know, we will be fighting the 4th, as well as potentially another smaller regiment. This should be a welcome change of pace and an opportunity to practise naval warfare and to operate sea- and land-based artillery. Come and join in on the fun this Thursday at eight!

Keeping up with the Commands? As with language itself, our dictionary of commands is always considered subject-to-change. While we do have an impressive amount of fairly rigid standardised commands and terms, the actual implementation and use on the battlefield can change depending on the situation and, perhaps most importantly, based on the game's meta. We always strive to be on the cutting edge of effective maneuvering, whilst strictly adhering to the rules. As such, new commands and thus new ways to move about in formation are constantly being discovered, tested and evaluated by us. Those of you who have been at recent events and trainings will already have experienced some of our newest methods. In brief, we have started using more commands that focus on quick movement and deployment, best possible fire rates and more independence from the physical presence of commanding officers. With how things are now, we can precisely maneuver lines even without being at the helm.
Interested in how this plays out? Make sure to attend the Tuesday Trainings to always stay up-to-date with our current flavour of commanding. Also, it is never a bad idea to internalise our basic core commands, which you can always look up at your own convenience in the Recruit Guide.

As for events this week, there is the aforementioned Thursday Event, which will be a coastal siege happening at 20:00 CET. (Friday) NA Training followed by the NA Linebattle is at 7:30 PM EST/EDT and we do encourage anyone who can make it to show up, even if you are European - While this is past midnight for you, the experience is said to be rather unique. The Saturday Public Linebattle is at 20:00 CET. The Sunday Linebattle, as usual, will take place at 20:00 CET. That wraps up the 12th issue of the Minden News™! As always, we hope you enjoyed the read and continue to support the community by attending our events!
