I intend to treat my soldiers like Skyrim companions - they carry everything while I do all the fighting and act like a hero.

You will win no glory here.


A) Officers couldn’t fightbtheir way out a wet paper bag
B) You will also be shot in the back

Yay team!

I'm glad I haven't said to my military knowledge, which is pretty lacking. I know a lot less than I should considering my dad has been in the US army for ~20 years.

Took a bit longer than I expected, but it's up. So, ICly we'll do one week of training (~1 IC post) which @Not Fishing will take control of as Lieutenant, and then after that I'll do one wrap-up post for the training and then we'll deploy. That's when the grand campaign begins!

Questions/concerns/etc, post 'em here or PM me :)

I squeezed out a quick intro post. Busy time of the year, what with Thanksgiving coming up (here in America). I'll work on being more prompt with future posts.

You're right.

In order to weed men like him out, I need to go full Cazarosta instead. Is that not so?

Being cruel to your troop = shot in the back. Happened a lot but the British Army where officers also purchased their commission. I feel I should point out we’re a Dragoon regiment. We are considered an elite cavalry unit by most standards so your average cruel jackass is not likely to exist there. Granted some yelling at the lads can’t hurt, but you want effective horsemen who can guard your flank. Not a terrified infantry peom who simply follows orders.

Cavalry charges often dissolved into men working in small groups or alone to chase down targets. I imagine, much like the British Rifles, independence and thinking for ones self is encouraged.

Full disclosure here, I am actually a member of a Federal Mounted unit. Cavalry is what I do! Well, ceremonially anyway. I wear a normal uniform and do normal work stuff too.

@VoiDAlso, are we sticking with the Brits and Prussians being the only real users of rifles or are our carbines rifled?

@The Wyrm Dragoon carbines are rifled but naturally much shorter than a typical infantry rifle. They use a fulminate primer percussion system, but since percussion caps haven't been invented yet the difference between a Flint lock system is somewhat negligible.

Edit: Standard issue carbines are similar to this.

Have the Enlisteds already been divided into Omadons and assigned to Cornets or do I get to decide who goes where?

Unlike Cazarosta, Blaylock doesn't kill his men or set them up to get killed if they can't meet his standards. At worst he'll just beat them until they stop doing whatever they did wrong.

Being cruel to your troop = shot in the back.


Shooting officer in the back = hung by the neck.

Well, technically we're mounted light infantry.
