The story behind how 3rd zug got the name Ghost Platoon:
Basically we had a 3rd platoon ran by Hillariousman a while back and this platoon consisted of advanced skirmishing tactics. However, this platoon was never used in combat... EVER... So it was an ever present platoon but no one ever saw it, hence, Ghost Platoon. Now Heinrich is here to take control of Ghost Platoon and I guess make it into more of zombie platoon since people will actually see this 3rd platoon in action and alive but returning from its dead state.

Yeah, they are signed up as skirmishers this Friday, so we will see them ghosting about for sure.

I think I was in A3, and we were in fact present at battles, what didnt happen was the application of skirmishing, because we were never allowed/ordered to.

28th of June? I remember it being much earlier than that, along with that, I wasnt even here for June, and part of August... but I do remember A3 tags and having to re-change tags back to A2.

Also remember a training or two people actually showed up to, where the only difference between the regular Zuge's training and A3's "Fusiliere" training was we did half-platoon fire-and-advance. Argus was there as well, and later on in a scrim we did manage to get skirmishing in. Actually come to think of it we did in fact do skirmishing training, Reth was still here at that point. He was leading our skirmishing because our CO wasnt there.... we moved forward in line, and at the command of the officer we all spread out, flexing away from Reth. Then we began to advance, every second man moving up to fire, crouching to reload, and letting the rear rank advance and fire when we were almost loaded.

Edited yet again, we also did training against advancing enemy infantry and cavalry, where half the force would keep their weapons loaded while the other half fired, at close range when the enemy attempted to charge us the other half of the platoon would give fire.
