Activity Requirements

Level 1

Prerequisites

None

Training Regime/Story Requirements

Troopers will spend a two weeks training at the Vast Empires special urban combat training centre. They will learn the best ways to clear out enemy buildings, as well as the use of light fletchette weapons and flash grenades. In missions with their squad they will be expected to coordinate the squads effort in routing opponents entrenched in an urban setting.

A single thousand word story set in the final stages of training. You will be working with fellow trainees to clear out either a collection of small buildings or to work through the levels of the VE's training tower. Troopers will be expected to demonstrate the ability to coordinate the use of grenades and timing to achieve their goals.

“	"Urban Combat is a tricky thing. On the field you usually know where the enemy is and its normally in front of you. In the urban setting they can come at you from any angle. You have to watch each others back and make sure every building is cleared out before you move on. If you miss just one soldier in a room you're all in trouble . . . how do you think I got this duff leg?	”
