In case you've missed our recent Twitchings, here's a heads-up: we need recruits to join us on the battlefield this today at 1700 hours BST, 0900 hours PDT, or 1200 hours EDT sharp.

To get started you'll need to follow these guidelines before you can play with us:

Listen up cadet!

1. Grab World of Tanks Blitz off the App Store - it's free!

2. Load up the game. Make sure you're set to the EU region in the top-right corner, then either create or login to your wargaming.net account.

3. Complete the tutorial - it'll only take a few minutes.

4. In your garage, tap the chat icon in the bottom left of the screen, then the search players icon in the top right corner of the screen. Search for both "AppSpy" and "xeroxeroxero" tap the "+" icon on the right to add us.

5. Leave a comment below to signify you've done all of the above, and let us know both your Twitch and wargaming.net usernames.

6. Be in the Pocket Gamer + AppSpy Twitch channel at 1700 hours BST, 0900 hours PDT, or 1200 hours EDT sharp, with World of Tanks Blitz running on your iPhone or iPad.

7. When you receive an invite from us, accept it and tap "Ready" as fast as possible. No dawdling! We won't be accepting invites to platoons.

8. Hold the fort, destroy the approaching enemies, and capture the base for great justice.

We'll be dismissing and enlisting different troops for each game to give as many people as possible a chance to play with us.

Feel free to rack up some experience in the meantime. Best to get your first battle scars now, rather than live on our Twitch stream!

If all goes well in our session today, we may return again in the future. Stay tuned!
