More field reports, thank you Trusty :D

Considering what I've read, us Captain backers would receive out copy around June to July, can't wait!

Edit: What specs you got on those gaming Pc's ;)

Also will you be able to customize your characters in the alpha?

Lets hope my 760 will suffice :/

This might change but I remember them saying there will be no character customization in the Drill camp.

In a way I'm happy that I'm not going to be first in Alpha since I got to read to my exams at the end of month.
In fact, the Alpha test in general is terrible timing with University life. Oh well :P

Nope, you will spawn as predefined characters in the drill camp.
Customization is something, which will get patched in on a later date :)

We'll have a forum board where alpha access is required to view and post in it. Here the alpha testers will be able to post screenshots as well as game.log files of various bugs you encounter.

What I am confused with is the Captain's role. Will our backing tier be included in the first alpha wave? Or at a later date?

EDIT: I thought it mean Lieutenant-Colonel as Lieutenant through Colonel, not as Lt.Col and higher. I understand. So does anyone have an estimated time on how long that first wave will take?

I'm sure they'l have a limit. If they make it like their company tool to where there is a limited amount of officers/nco's per company then the problem will be solved imo

All the generals are work in progress there.

Its Jackson, you can notice him due to his forage cap! As well as Major Taylor, Lee's Aide, on his left.
