Posting this here so other outfits can see it. Platoon Lead Bootcamp #2 Welcome to PL Bootcamp #2, the first session will take place on Thursday 4. June 2015 (2015-06-03). To get involved you need to simply show up for every session that you can, sessions wjll be held at 1900 UTC every Thursday, and check this topic frequently! This is the second PL bootcamp Trident has run, there will likely be more bootcamps once this one finishes, but if you wish to attend this one you MUST attend the first session. If you cannot then please get involved the next time bootcamp comes around. Who's this for? PL Bootcamp is for anyone who wants to learn how to (properly) lead platoons in Planetside 2, and also for those who just want to learn more about macro strategy so you can help with strategic planning when alerts or other in-game events are occurring. Basically, if you're interested, you're welcome to join! Sessions Overview I have split the bootcamp up into 5 main parts to cover, I don't know exactly how long each part will take so we may do more or less than one part per session. Part 1 - Finding Fights, Map Reading and General Strategy Part 2 - Starting a Platoon, Getting Squad Leaders, Advertising your Platoon, Administering your Platoon, Disbanding your Platoon Part 3 - Managing your Platoon, Giving Orders, Imposing Discipline, Leader Confidence and Style Part 4 - Micromanagement, Tactical Plays (Gal Drops, Tank Rushes, etc.), Blitzkrieg Warfare, Preventing your Platoon from Getting Stuck at a Base, Population Efficiency, Ensuring your Players have Fun Part 5 - Planetside 2 Meta Introduction, Alerts, Continent Locking Part 6 - Putting it all Together Requirements A working microphone TeamSpeak3 (our TS: ts.tridentoutfit.com) In-Game voice communications Be able to speak English verbally (if you're wondering whether your level on English is good enough for leading: ask me! I'll just chat with you for a little while and let you know. Leading is one of the best ways to get better at English so don't be afraid that your English is poor, it will get better!) Your Battle Rank or Ability in the Game is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT. Check my stats, I have a 0.7 K/D and I'm BR60 after playing the game for a year and two months, I'm pretty shit at shooting things; your ability to play this game will not in any way correspond with your leading ability! Have a great day, TFC
