Out of character thread XVIII

[Cecil XIX]

I've been quite pleased with the levy system. I fought my 1346 battle with just my levy and the Bohemian militia, and I must say it was very satisfying fighting a battle with units that are unmistakably yours. The only problems are keeping track of which unit of DFKs/Armored Sergeants is whose, and how they're going to get retrained.

[OverKnight]

Until the end of turn report, the history for 1346 will be a bit skimpy. I was away for about 24 hours, and upon my return, several events have happened but only a few have been offcially documented.

So, let's see if I get this right. . .what happened in 1346 is the following:

Erlach drove off Hungarians from Innsbruck area (in battle reports and history)

Peter von Kastilien had a nasty little battle with the Poles near Magdeburg (in orders thread and history)

Lothar killed some rebels near Genoa and is moving south towards Florence, where the Greeks have attacked him (in orders thread and history)

Ruppel took Dijon?

Dieter von Kassel took Naples?

Am I missing anything else?


On another note, I think the levy system should be abandoned. The level of work needed to maintain it, by the Chancellor or econ, is more than what we get out of it. Just my two cents.

Erg... just saw Warmaster Horus' post about being gone for four days. I was hoping he'd be around to act as a sub for any battles for Lothar. As noted in the Active Duty thread, I am also out of town at the moment and unable to fight battles until Jan 5th. Unless a substitute is allowed for my battle (which I believe is against the rules?) I suppose we will have to leave it up the the computer. If no substitute is allowed, retreat and then autoresolve if the battle is forced.

[Ramses II CP]

Fritz appears to be in no danger of battle any time soon, but FYI I'll be out of town for about 24 hours. Not worth taking my laptop.

[Zim]

I'm a bit confused about the levy system. Andreas is a count now, does he get a levy? Is it chosen from men already in his army, or are they poofed into existence, or trained now that the Cataclysm is over?

[Cecil XIX]

He will get a levy at the next Diet session. He'll start out with four units of peasents, and ten points to upgrade them. Or not, as none of the above information is actually part of the CA. Just the notes.

[FactionHeir]

He'll start with 4 units out of his current army or 4 peasants, depending on his choice.
If he loses a levy unit completely, it will be replaced by a peasant at the next diet (cannot choose another existing unit)
