Check on the NCOs first, after all, we can't have horrible Corporals and Sarges, can we?

((W00t, so you magically decided how we are? Well, to fight off railroadism, I'm going to refuse to take any of your hints))

Dismiss the files entirely. Knowing the men only make sending them to their death duty harder. Call the Drillmaster and enquire about who the former CO was, and who was second in command. Also get a map and look where the Farside forest is.

There are no non-comissioned officers or normal soldiers in the files. It has all the comissioned officers in the military at the moment. Do you really think I would make a Psyche report FOR EVERY MAN IN THIS ARMY? And you can't burn it, there are some actions in this game that you cannot get away with.

Also, there is no railroading in this part. You have some free choice at this point.

Well, my actions still stand.

By the way, I really wonder why they sent a Psyche report about every single CO in the army to us. It's not like we need it (While we could use a report on our subordinate), and the ennemy would kill to get it...

Actually, should we defect to the New Empire (or whoever the ennemy is?) and negociate this info for a whole pile of cash?

It only talks about their personality and onlys skims over their real skill. It does not say about how skilled they really are, where they are, how many soldiers their are under their command at the moment, and it will most likely be out-dated within a years time frame.

Don't think it'll sell for a lot. Also, teh New Empire in this world has little intrest in the Ariani nations. If anything, it'd want to help them, because they see the gaint killer Temptessian Empire as at least a SMALL threat.

Guys, defecting would be hilarious, and quite frankly the smart idea, but that is not how this game is going to go. The harder you fight it, the more he will railroad you, and so you might as well follow the tracts of your own violation.

Just go out and assemble the troops for a speech.

Yeah, not to mention that our foe will have more advanced weaponry and such...

At any rate, if John would let us defect, that would be my vote, but if he will not (which I think he will not) then we might as well stop talking about it.

Are you kidding me? Information about every single CO? For starters, even knowing their name rank and number would be useful info, and having even the more basic knowledge of how they think (Are they prone to attack or not?) would be of immense value.

That, and they'd welcome us anyway because of the P.R. stunt. We may even get money if we agree to make a few speech telling how awful our side is.

The Temptess Empire in this world has a heavy quantity over quaility military policy. They have far higher numbers, but each one of those numbers is not very skilled at all.

With the resources at their command?! I'd say the Ariani are fucked.
