Reserves Shake Up
Ministry of Defence
The reserves are inactive. There have been no COs for the last month and a bit lit leading to inactive sergeants and a dead army. But that is about to change.
The reserves are being restarted. Yes, that means that EVERYBODY has to re-sign up (or sign up if you're new). A PM to Paddyohale (reserve commander) or a comment on here will suffice. If you wish to be a sergeant please also PM Paddyohale. Reserve CO's have already been chosen so there are no vacancies there. You will receive 75 GBP on sign up for 3 q3/q4 weapons (depends on price). Please be aware that the 3 strength limit applies.
The biggest problem with the reserves was keeping sergeants active, I believe (I have no shame in admitting that the idea was the President's and the text below was copied from the forum) that a pay structure (for Sergeants and CO's only) will solve this. I also plan on implementing random activity drills that will increase activity and pay for sergeants.
I propose a pay structure that will pay a sergeant 1GBP per troop that reply’s per drill. I’ll get onto troop numbers later but they will either be 5 or 10 so if a SGT gets all his squad to reply its not bad pay and ranges 1-4 days wages for most.
With the SGT’s being paid its only fair to do the same to the CO’s and although it would be “too costly” to pay them 1GBP per troop in there platoon that replies with squads of say 30 half of that isn’t bad.
So numbers are debatable as normal but the idea is to get activity up more then pay the poor here so im aiming for lowest amount to provide the most outcome.
5 in a squad. 2/3 activity SGT’s wage = 3 GBP
10 in a squad. 2/3 activity SGT’s wage = 6GBP
30 in a platoon. Say 2/3 activity CO’s wage = 10GBP
90+ troops 3* CO 9*SGT(at 6GBP or 18*3GBP) = 84GBP a week.
Full activity = 135GBP
I’m still yet to hear the budget but that number could be doubled looking at it.
SGT(5) = 0-10
SGT(10) = 0-20
CO = 0-30
Total cost = 0-270
Why am I doing this? The reserves are the largest part of our army and as such must be active, organised and well equipped. The only way to do this is turn over a new leaf and purge the inactives from our ranks.

Vote this up please.
Voted. And I\'m in as a reserve 🙂
I am active~
I would like to be a reserve 🙂
A list of people is being made.
I would like to enlist in the Reserve Forces. What is involved in being a Sgt (Sect Comd)?
The reserves get payed for doing nothing?
cool cool
Sign me up, don\'t need the moolah though - I have six Q4 shotguns and a pair of Q3 desert eagles already.
This is a very innovative system..
sign me up
the skill will be there in a few days
sign me up
Sign me up, Scotty!
I\'ll sign up
\'This is a very innovative system.. \' Yeah I\'m aware that the Americans implemented this first. In fact we used the idea as well. You don\'t begrudge your allies benefitting from your hard work do you?
\'The reserves get payed for doing nothing?
cool cool\'
They get paid for keeping the largest part of our army active and efficient. I might implement a pay structure into the paras but I\'ll have to have a look at the figures...
Reserves are small now... Looks like I might have to go through the roster and message everyone...
how do i sign up/what are teh requirements and what exactly does it involve and whats my benefit from it?
oh sign me up
6.4 stength and eager to fight, sign me up!
jerry: You have to have 3 strength to sign up, you won\'t see action unless an ally we have an MPP with is attacked or unless the UK is attacked. You benefit from it because you have the knowledge that you are helping our military be stronger by signing up.
What is involved in being a Sgt/Sect Comd?
You\'ll be managing a squad of around ten. You\'ll distribute orders to them and you\'ll probably be involved in random activity checks on your troops.
So it\'s just a case of disseminating orders from higher up in the chain of command and being active? Please consider me for the position then.
This should be like real life. We need a war!
sign me up as well, my strength should be above 3 soon. It is 2.6 at the moment. I am 100% active since I haven\'t yet missed a training day.
Voted and in as a reserve CO! 😉
William you are under consideration. Malta you\'re on the list.
CB: Paddy O\'Hale is already CO and I don\'t believe his job is up for grabs.
Paddy is the top CO but Cheeseball is one of the three below him who manage the Sgts. As you can see from the article they\'ve already been chosen. From now on CB call yourself a Maj instead.
Again, if anyone wants to be in the Reserves can they PM me here please.
well I\'ve pmd you in game and had absolutley no reply to my application to join the reserves and be a sergeant so its it worth bothering?
sign me up 🙂
