Advanced Squad Leader

This class is to refine your basic skills in infantry to try to bring yourself to the next level in PR. It will cover some fairly normal infantry tactics, but most don't use them in game due to the time and effort it takes to perform these maneuvers correctly. If you learn them here, you will have less time wasted in the real server trying to learn these moves and formations under fire.

This game can be very organized and tactical if you put the time in to learn positions and roles. This class is designed to teach that from what I know in PR from my experience here.

Sign up here in the TGU forum only.

This is just going to be me trying to pass on what little I know about PR, and the way I SL - not the end all be all class about infantry - seems to work for me so if you want to know what I do, please attend.
