Hallo

I know the melee squads will pretty much equip themselves, do squads labeled "archery" do the same thing? Or do I have to assign them Xbows manually?

? You have to assign the uniform through {m}{e}{U}. I find it best to change 'any range weapon' to 'crossbow' though, and don't {m}{f}orget to assign ammunition for training and combat, and make sure there are spare quivers for them to hold said ammunition in.

Ohhhh I forgot about quivers.. thanks!

They need backpacks for carrying their food in, and waterskins/flasks for carrying a drink as well.

I did notice something about food/drink, if I make the flasks & backpacks (and their prefs are set to carry food & drink), will they equip *those* automatically or do I have to assign them manually?

I guess I'm kinda hazy on the whole equipment thing... Will dwarves always get the items they need (weapons, armor, backpacks, etc) on their own, or do I have to do all that by hand?

Also, regarding armor, do my militia dwarves keep their armor on even when they're not active/training, or do they take it off when they rejoin the civilian sector? Then when an attack comes, do I need to figure in additional mustering time for them to re-equip all their gear?
