2024-11-07 20:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, this weekend we will release our full e-learning video on the basics of squad movement. As promised, I attached the included PowerPoint as a PDF and a PPT so you can study it. Even without the video it is already very comprehensive and over 70 pages in size. While it benefits from narration it definetely makes its own guide.
Thanks again for all your support guys,

We will end the pre-order after 200 books are ordered, to avoid being overwhelmed like the last time. So act quick. ...
