Right, some things to fix for some of you before we can start (signups are closed now.)

mesor: Missing a proper background, I need this to write up proper fluff in the turns, so please write that up, next thing is that you're description of your characters appeareance isn't really the best and your regiment can't be from Hochwald, it could be out of a village close to it but not directly in it.

GWG: Need a description on what exactly you want your traits to do, if you could further explain it that would be perfect.

scapheap: A little more background/appeareance would be quite nice so I can get some ideas for storywriting.

IEC: My actual fault for not saying so but 130 miles west of the capital would be well into enemy territory, I don't want to use exact ranges for stuff like that because it limits the way I can use the map how I want, but you guys better think of Nirias as a small state of america, not really the biggest.

germaina: Nope, you don't fill experience out, I think I mentioned it in the rules, nothing else wrong with the sheet.

You just slapped the cool-sounding territory names together without giving the slightest of thoughts to their meaning, didn't you? Because a barony, a kingdom and a county all being the same size is, frankly, ridiculous.

Probably, they weren't. This takes place after the fall of a great empire. The Baron/ Count must have gathered terretory, or the kingdom lost it.

What ebbor said, the kingdom fell apart pretty much, also mind that the end borders of the territories aren't shown on the map, the kingdom and barony stretch out far beyond the map border while the county is pretty much as small as it is on the map with just some more territory east.


ALSO TO ALL PLAYERS:
Some more information on upgrading/size of your units and how to get new one's will be added once we start, once all sheets are ready (hopefully tomorrow) 1st turn will begin.

Before I forget it: Waitlist is open naow'.

[GreatWyrmGold]

GWG: Need a description on what exactly you want your traits to do, if you could further explain it that would be perfect.

Bravery: He's hard to scare.
Intuition: He's good at guessing things that are right.

I'm no good at balance, which is why I left the specifics up to you.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

No, you didn't say Experience wasn't accounted for. Fixed that and Avrion's location.

[mesor]

Updated, it does say experience is from combat only.

[scapheap]

Updated, anything else?

[Maxinum McDreich]

Knew I shoulda atleast reserved earlier. Oh well... waitlisted

Spoiler: Nathan (click to show/hide)

Name: Nathan Cooper
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Rank: Second Lieutenant
Appeareance: Dark blue irregular uniform (think Sharpe), white undershirt. Average height and build, fit. Black messy hair, bluish green eyes. Bullet wound scar to his left shoulder.
Background: Born to farmers and builders, Nathan's life looked set in the mud and stone of the fields and village. At 15, however, he was spotted by the local lord as someone with a gift in management and strategy. The lord funded Nathan's days at school and then into Officer's training. Nathan valued his days from before, and therefore the land represented the people, something to protect. His soldiers were also something to value, something which the other higher class students used to mock him along with his humble backround. Nathan trained himself aswell, but it was inevitable he would be challenged to a duel. His opponant gave him his bullet wound in his shoulder, but Nathan did return the favour showing his skill with a gun with a shot to the man's gun arm, damaging the bone, weakening it forever and winning the duel. Noone challenged him again, though the ridicule continued.
Recently graduated, Nathan now leads a new regiment from his hometown, determined to defend the lands and bring new ones under the protection of Niria.
Traits: Defensive Training: Troops are better in defensive engagements.
          Gun Training: Along with being a good shot himself, Nathan's troops shoot better.

All updated people: Good job, I'll wait for tomorrow and if I have no update from the others till then they're out, also to Maxinum: I'll see how the first battle goes, or rather the first turn, if it's not that much work I'll get you in after the first battle/infront of it or something. I think in general battles are going to be less time consuming than non-battle turns.

TURN 1 - January 61 ATF

All of you just left the military academy of Niria after being assigned to your new regiments, you head to the training yards of the respective uniit, each located close to the capital, all of you notice the increase in raised Militia regiments, and rumors are heard that Niria will head into battle soon. From High Command you recieved orders of the need that your militia must be battle ready in less then four months, not much of a time to turn bad equipped farmers into real soldiers, but you will see. As you arrive you're two NCOs are awaiting training orders and have several complaints to you, mostly about the bad quality of different equipment and weapons. This is your chance to prove that you can do this.

Background:  Druce grew up with only his father, working the land.  Years of hard work helped him stay fit and healthy, although as the war began it turned things upside down for him.  Now at the age of 15, his farm is overrun and he and his father are taken into the army.

Druce, knowing that  his father is with him, takes it all in stride and just focuses on what he is told to do.  His father does as well.  They both rise through the ranks rather quickly, the father becoming NCO with Druce the SGT under him.  Years pass, and they stay together through many battles.  One battle, though, His father is killed.  Druce steps up in the shoes of his father to complete the fight, somehow getting the men to desist their retreat and take back the lost ground, securing the victory.  The Colonel, watching this take place, decided to give Druce a battlefield comission, hoping those skills would come in handy.

Torik, son of hender

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Age: 37?
Gender: Male
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Appearance: Short and scrawny, not to mention that he looks about half again as old as he is, yet surprisingly tough and strong.
Bio: Torik was probably born in what is now the southeast region of the Republic of Niria, then part of the Kingdom of Uzhal. He went into the army either several years before or the day he was old enough to do so, then promptly got tossed around from unit to unit due to either "thinking" or "insubordinate conduct." Once an actual war began, his madness manifested as absurd courage and some good hints as to what was going on, though they seemed like more madness at the time. He has been promoted, demoted, traded, kidnapped, and had his records "accidentally" immolated so many times that the only halfway conmplete source on his life is also the least reliable: Himself.

Clair Clogs-First thing my men will train in ranged and speed over the month. I will see if my class and winning personally can get better equipment and weapons then make contacts within Harrington.

[mesor]

Lezalit Mithras

My men will train in speed and ranged for the month.
I will ask around about any work that needs doing.
I will visit the requisitions officer and ask if they have anything I can do in exchange for better equipment.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Thorik--Thorik will teach his troops ranged and melee combat for the month, personally drilling them so he makes sure they work the way he needs them to work if they're going to work as either a team, individuals, or anywhere in between.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Gaston-Gaston will train his troops in melee combat and speed for the month.

[mesor]

(( Uhm do your men have horses? In general militia do not get horses it requires to much training. Plus it costs a lot. ))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Edited.

[germaina]

Druce

Focus training on Speed and Endurance
Have request routed up chain of command stating the men will be ready on time but will need better equipment for the actual fighting.

Men, I understand you have issues about the quality of your equipment.  It has been noted and I will do everything in my power to correct it.  In the mean time, you will use what is available.  My focus is to make you able to out maneuver and out last your enemies.  In order to do that, you will have to be fit.  I will work you hard, but only because war is hard.  I know, I have been there.  And when I was there, I was in your shoes.  I was on the front lines.  Should you allow me to do what I need to do and focus on what your NCOs tell you to do, we will be the best unit out there.
