yeah, we're on a winter campaign break for the holidays (christmas, hannika, ramadan, kwansa(?), and for me SATURNALIA) we can't have our armies marching threw the snow. think about it, it takes 1 cup of hot-coco daily to keep a fighting man going in the winter, while an army can carry enough coco for mabey a week the coco supply of the men is largely pillaged from villages, that takes time, and trying to import mashmellows?! forget about it. there is a very precise ratio to fighting men by ammount of coco, by how much can be pillaged in how much time, plus they have to wait for it to cool down after it is made, its just much easier to stay put and drink your hot coco
