No clan tag. I think when we train or test we'll use the smelly fish banner.
Items are just examples, we need to decide upon a good basis for testing and different setups. I think we should focus on cheap to medium items (aka things being used in strat).
+1 for low tear strat gear
How to be flexible on test server?
So that we can switch fast between compositions of teams, more or less inf/ranged/cav!
suggestion: deathmatch mode + 2 destinctiv sets of armors, if someone needs to join another team he just switches gear and joins again
It's a sound theory but in practice you're relying on each member of your squad not only being as good as each other, but at least as good as the enemy. More than likely when faced against an armoured russian charge, a squad of 2h berserkers like the 22nd/Nords or just a pack of insanely good enemies, weaknesses will appear, links will be broken and the formation will split.

Instead of putting too much thought into the composition of the squad, I'd like to see a lot more adaptive strategies - like melee units who never get in each other's way but instead know exactly how to turn an enemy so he's forced to show his back to at least one of us, or shielders that know how to properly tank allowing our 2h'ers to break enemy ranks without taking damage, or archers and pikes who are fast enough to keep enemy ranged and cav off our shieldwalls, etc. A plan for every situation and team-mates who know how to execute them.
the smallest group are 2 swordbuddies(what ever classes we choose to pull together they have a set of task through the combinations of their classes. Those 2 always need to stick together,
if the shield guy runs somewhere the archer follows
if the 2h runs somewhere the pole/pike guy follows
1 class leads always the other always follows
= system
increase that in numbers and you are getting a squad ...
To lead a squad or battalion we need a set of commands
colume on me = folgen/kolone
forward march = Folgen
agressiv line I =Ausdem laufen heraus links oder rechts eine lienie
aggressiv line II = aus dem laufen heraus
closer = näher aneinder
split off = auseinder splittern
circel formation= Kreisformation
Anti Cav= " Mann Rücken an Rücken deckend
adavance on me=auf meine position vorrücken
charge=Attacke!!!!!!!!!
face left/right/on me=nach rechts/links ausrichten von meiner Position
...
less or more of these, this was already a work in progress within the wolves but we didn't train it yet.
Perhaps we can work out a suitable set, which would be preferable used by any clan so if someone joins a strategus battle we are all already used to them. So if we find and agree on a suitable set of commands either a seperate post or please include it later in the first post.
