Steps To Reproduce1.Have a single local dwarf in a squad

3.Watch as they barely progress in skill from never sparring.

Dwarves won't spar until they have significant experience with their weapon:

Try sending him out to hack up some benign wildlife to kickstart his training up to "talented", then see if he starts sparring.

Thanks. Question though, will mercenaries spar too, once they get skilled enough?

I've seen mercenaries spar in my game. I'm using ver. 43.05, however.

Question 2(sorry to be annoying): do both parties have to be "Talented"+, or do I need just one?

I've seen it happen when both parties were as low as "Skilled". Perhaps personality and/or mutual friendship between those sparring is a factor, here?

The forums are better suited for questions.
