[Shadowlord]

I've got a barracks set up for my dwarves with it set to squad equipment and training, and each chest in it assigned (it lets you set who its for) to a different position in the squad. Not that there's ever any items in the chests.

I also assigned uniforms to the squad consisting of exact match only, wear instead of clothes, steel mail shirt, steel greaves, steel helm, etc, and a steel battle axe. They seem to do quite well at getting the stuff as long as it exists, except that I've caught several with training axes, a training sword, and even a copper axe! Plural. More than one. I think they have 6 hands.

All in all they seem to do fairly well at getting their equipment, but I had to make the arsenal dwarf have NO other jobs in order for it to get done. I too had him double as the bookkeeper at first, but I had to separate the positions since that resulted in equipment taking forever to get updated. (I had a titan invasion and the arsenal dwarf simply wouldn't certify them to switch from training axes to real axes)

I never did figure out how to get them to do demonstration training, but then I didn't want to considering the bugs I read about. I have training set to 'at least 1', and they do individual combat drills instead.
