Firstly, it may appear that UK Armour has a new Junior Member C.O called Tjay, but it's just the old one (me) with a new registered name which required a new account being set up.
Recently, three members have requested to be transferred to the reserve due to RL issues, so I'm looking for up to six new ones.
We are a young unit, which I formed in January of this year (after I'd been playing SB for at least a fortnight!) as no UK-based virtual unit appeared to exist. So effectively I'm C.O courtesy of excessive initiative. Fortunately, we have several more experienced players and a VERY experienced and talented training officer. Not to mention a cracking website expert in Alboots. Crusty is 2 i/c and Marko x.o.
On the first anniversary of our formation all three executive posts will be subject to democratic selection.
We conduct sessions twice a week on Wednesday and Sunday evenings at 20:00Z (GMT) and look to combine satisfaction and pure enjoyment through a mix of training and operational scenarios. And to strike a balance between military protocol and informal banter. Humour is positively encouraged when off the battlefield. There is no official minimum attendance requirement but at least once a fortnight is expected.
Mostly we use the Challenger 2 MBT and the Pizarro APC (standing in for the Warrior). We also use the ASLAV for reconnaissance. So most of our in-house scenarios are modified to reflect that. But for obvious reasons we also keep current on the Leopard 2 and the M1.
UKA is in no way 'Brit exclusive' and we welcome players from all nationalities for whom the time slot is convenient. If you are interested, please visit our website at www.ukarmour.eu or pm me here.
