Squad Leader Archive

Actually, it's an interesting little thing. For years now, one table-top rpg game that I constantly played over all others was Vampire the Masquerade and in that game I have been in one way or another an sl. When a friend of mine first introduced me to the game, I was on a pilot craze. Since at the time there was no JTL, the closest thing was squad leader. As time went by, I realized that my two main characters were in one way shape or form sl. One character was head of a vampiric wizards guild the other in the same game was a evil (yes vampires are evil, but this character was worse than that, he'd torture because he was bored) vampiric gang leader. Anyways, I modified a template to suit who I was and how I played and what I wanted. Advancing in rank within his sect and taking on missions was who he was, he was fighting a war and he expected his side to come out on top. The character had a lot of potential, but due to unforseen circumstances, I don't play anymore. Nothing bad, just time and growing older and that sort of stuff and those things will probably happen with this game as well, though I played that game for 10 years.

Well, there you have it. My answer to why my main toon's a squad leader.

And I agree with Irott...."I came into this game a SL I will leave it as a SL."

Im a MSL because I like team work and tactics and strategy.

It was the first elite profession I ever mastered and is currently the only elite profession I have since they removed the crowd control from the so called Master Carbineer "crowd control 4 of 5".

I love large +12 ppl groups. Im usually more a RTS freak and can kinda play that type of game in SWG beeing a SL of a large group.

I got my base slicing team, assign them body guards, form an turret assault group and an NPC assault group and support and help everybody with the actions I take as well as keep the information and coordination in the group up with /sys as well as /groupchat.

One of my the biggest fun thing everhappened to me was leading a full 20 man group without any jedi trying to hit unbalanced PvE Det. HQ with 5 turrets where the ppl of the base even managed to replace turrets during the fight.

I could inspire, encourage, lead and aid them and we all died and cloned and died and cloned but still the whole group was following my lead doing what I said since I wanted to take down that base. It was pure madness hitting that base but all of us had SOO much fun!

Now
all this is gone.
But Im still a MSL and I dont see me drop this for anything else since that is what I want to be.

p.s.
I had a quick look at the guild and grouping forum and the correspondet was talking about the option to form raid groups/meta groups.

I just HOPE and PRAY that they will give this to to MSL but if you look at what SOE usually does the will just ruin us even more.
