    The bumbling idiots, I have under my command have finally learned some sense of stealth albiet its not that they are actually capable of applying it outside of when they don't need to. Their riflery has in fact improved with practice and for once food comes from a source other than myself. Wee can sustain ourselves here but odd rumors have come from some of the surrounding cities. They say that Napoleon is actually not in the North but planning on staging an attack on Milan and the Cities of Northern Italy. He is not a tremendously well known man but i have heard stories of short stature and grapeshot in Paris. It is most likely our best chance of action now that France and Spain have declared Peace. There are other questions as well. With only 10 men at my command we will be integrated into another corps and company. Perhaps even seperated but there are options
    1. Where we goin?
    A. to napoleons army stationed nearby
    B. to milan
    C. North
    D. any other random direction
    2. We do not have a full company of men
    A. Try to conscript local farmers, we have weapons to give them but the language barrier may be a problem
    B. The men are for my benifit not I for theirs, when we reach Napoleons army I will join the cavalry and they will find a place wherever they can
    C. Attempt to find a Polish regiment in the French army whenever you find one

    Through the ages every weapon has evolved from two basic design philosophies, either a rock or a sharp pointy stick.

    "Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."

    Alright after this one we'll get down to the actual fighting and things

    As I reach the Polish army, my ragged band of volunteers and I are greeted uneasily by the camp guards. I speak french of course but none of my men so and so we are greated of course as foreigners and spies some of them even confusing our noble language for dirty german. Nonetheless we are let in eventually and reach a major willing to sign us all into his troop and to rearm us with muskets. We find a pole, however, who promises he can get us into a troop of lancers we are less prepared for this role but it would be easier for the men linguistically.
    My next problem is how do I pay the men. Should i give them men their enlistment bonus.
    Finally of course, there is the trouble of uniforms. I need a design and colors of course albiet everything costs.

    1. Who do I join?
    A. The French Infantry
    B. The Lancers
    C. Some say that with the tyroleans and others ahead Napoleon may take on some riflemen. Attempt to keep your weapons and act as freelance skirmishers
    2. HOw do I pay them
    A. Pay out everything evenly.
    B. Keep a tenth, I am afterall the comander
    C. Pay them in booze worth a tenth of what they deserve and let them loot the rest after battle
    3.
    A. Take on the uniform of your unit
    B. Random voter suggested uniform (anything as random as the papal guard uniform)
    Drink Tea
