It's because I'm an idiot, that's why. 39hp is fine.

Is my fluff concept ok?

It makes alot of sense.

I agree with this

Waiting for everyone to do their own thing is taking too long, and I'm fed up with waiting.

The only change I would offer is mounting our acolytes and apprentices on mastiffs, to give them better maneuvering. Which would equate to -90 gold and +9 Upkeep.

Can we get everyones opinions? Or not, just say you don't care, lol. Let's get a move on.

Animated armour with pikes would be 100gp
2 x musket men 150
5 x guard for 100gp
1 x scout for 25gp

leaves me with 125, so weeks wages would be just below a third of that.

And that's my army.

Better idea, agree with Kashyyks list and we'll just pick our units from there. Note the things you want added before we finalize the list, like pikes to armors.

I did pick my army units from there. Half the guards, the armour, and a unit of acolytes and scouts.

When you have completed your choices, you can divide your stands into units. Units are groups of stands organized into a single cohesive group that fights and acts as one.

Skirmishers.
Skirmisher units are loosely organized. They excel at moving quickly, making hit-and-run attacks, and scouting ahead of the
main army.
A skirmisher unit has the following characteristics:
• All stands in the unit have advantage on Dexterity saving throws.
• A skirmisher unit uses the highest Dexterity modifier from among its component stands to determine initiative.
• The unit can take the Hide action (see “Battle Actions” below).
• An allied stand can move through the space of a stand of skirmishers but can’t end its turn in
that location.
• An allied solo can move through the space of a stand of skirmishers but can’t end its turn in that location unless it uses its action to join that stand.
• A skirmisher stand can use part of its move, take an action, and then complete its move.
• To keep from becoming isolated (see “Unit Integrity” below), each stand within a skirmisher unit must be no more than 1 square away from another stand in that unit at the end of a turn.

Regiments.
Regiment units move in strict ranks, creating a tight formation. Although they are slower than skirmisher units, regiments are adept at delivering powerful attacks and holding key points on the battlefield.
Configuration. A regiment unit begins a battle in one of three configurations, as chosen by its general, and it can switch between these
configurations during the fight. See the “Configure” section below.
A regiment unit has the following characteristics:
• A regiment unit uses the lowest Dexterity modifier from among its component stands to determine initiative.
• The unit can take the Configure action (see “Battle Actions” below).
• An allied stand cannot move into or through the space of a stand in a regiment unit.
• An allied solo can move into the space of a stand of a regiment unit only if it uses its action to join that stand.
• To keep from becoming isolated (see “Unit Integrity” below), each stand in a regiment unit must be adjacent to at least one other stand in that unit at the end of a turn.

Is 'Hide' in the rulebook?

Also, does my fluff fit?

It is. You can't open the PDF?

Quote from: Hide (Skirmishers and Solos only)
Taking this action follows the standard combat rules. Make a Dexterity (Stealth) check for each stand in a unit that attempts to hide. Conditions such as obscuring terrain and lack of illumination might mean that some stands in a unit can attempt to hide while others can’t. A stand that cannot hide (or that chooses not to make the attempt) cannot take any other action during the unit’s current turn.

Oh yeah, if my search for a steward isn't going to go anywhere do tell me. I have little time today and I'd rather get along in my search for minions.

GM, can we just go with this?

Just give the animated armor pikes and the wizards/clerics mounts and we're good to go. Let us choose our units to command when we finally get to a battle. We're never going to get everyone to agree, or convince them to even bother to participate-so let's just cut the numbers and get to the meat of the game. Yeah?

Tho we probably have even more money with a 6th player (who has not posted or introduced himself) we could just save that for the warchest/emergencies/upkeep/employment, etc.
