Welcome to another edition of Vanguard Newsletter, our monthly update to bring you any new information about games in Vanguard. If you have any comments, questions or concerns regarding any of the games, or this post, feel free to contact any of the Vanguard staff.
The Recruiting Division has been and will continue to host once every month a Recruiting Class. The class is hosted by one of their recruiting masters where they go through their three main recruiting strategies - forum, direct messaging, and in-game. Their main focus is to spur discussion during and after the class by sharing each other's recruiting efforts and hopefully discover other ways to grow our numbers in TAW. Watch your TAW homepage for dates and time for the next class in July. The Recruiting Division is always open, so feel free to pop into their channels up in Vanguard to chat. If you want RD to come to you and meet with your team, just message Riddersword today!

Spellbreak, developed and published by Proletariat, is a free to play, class based battle royale, released for the PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch Consoles.
Players in Spellbreak are able to choose their class and build upon it, customizing their talents and mastering the power they harness, as they fit it to tailor to their playstyle. Players can choose from 6 different classes, those being: Frostborn, Conduit, Pyromancer, Toxicologist, Stoneshaper or Tempest. Each feature a specific element, which players can use to combine with others to become more powerful.
Players are dropped into the match with a gauntlet, which is their source for primary and secondary attacks, and replaces the traditional arsenal of other battle royale games, aka guns, with spells. Players can seize hold of two of these powerful gauntlets, and begin to blend combinations of spells to inflict more damage and devastation on their enemies. These gauntlets come in 5 different rarities, with the higher tiers have increasing amount of damage, and taking lesser amount of mana to use.
Alongside these powerful gauntlets, players are able to explore the Battlegrounds of the Hollow Lands, and discover hidden chests, which contain runes and equipment, giving abilities such as flying, teleportation, time control and more, allowing the players to change the course of battle in their favor.
The game also features Cross Play, allowing players to compete against other battlemages from other platforms, as well as Cross Progression, which lets them continue their fight from any system, bringing their progress and customization to those systems.

Hello all of you beautiful people,
We are looking to add driven people to our division to better support our efforts in helping bring more people into TAW. If you are interested in being a part of this Division, and recruiting is something that you love to do, please fill out this form Recruiting Division Interest Form.
Please read below and email Riddersword with any questions that you may have.
Our team is responsible for creating, distributing and evaluating materials that help divisions find new members as well as ensuring current members are active and staying. For this purpose, we use a wide variety of materials which are specifically designed and created individually for each division. Duties of RD include, among other things:
• Meeting with members of TAW to discuss recruiting efforts in their team.
• Identify trends and provide solutions and precautionary advice.
• Create and distribute training materials for all divisions that need help.
This is done via advising methods and concepts that won't intervene with a division’s daily business but provide additional means of gaining members, keeping members, advising staff as well as developing new concepts for our community.
What would YOU get from joining RD?
We are a very communicative and close-knit group of individuals with a common goal: To make TAW the best community in the world of gaming!
Q: Can I still play games then?
A: As a part of RD you will get the chance to play more games than in any other division with a multitude of people from all around TAW!
Q: What would I even do?
A: Our combined efforts, materials and ideas pave the way for innovation and change. You will be working with new and old divisions to ensure their continued success.
Looking forward to talking with yall.
