Yes! More posts. Thank goodness.

@VoiD and @The Wyrm, thank you both. I appreciate the appreciation lol. The alliteration started flowing naturally at first, but then once I'd recognized what it was building up to, it definitely took a but of concentration to pad it further. Still can't really tell if it was overkill or not. I remember in V for Vendetta when V rattled off that first line of alliteration and how feeling the rising intensity and pace evoked. I was going for some of that sort without spilling into a full rant, but I couldn't be sure if it felt like a bit of a stretch.

Leventis and Milos seem like they might get along well.

I imagine so. I think that Herakles will be watching Milos closely and modeling much of his own military knowledge from the lieutenant's. The most prominent aspect that they'll likely share is a demand for competency at a minimum for others and excellence above all else for themselves. Their major difference I've identified is that where Milos places discipline foremost, Herakles will endeavor to earn his men's loyalty first. Opportunities for mentorship abound!

Great, now that your back, I can go on a four day trip on Thursday.

Wunderbar

I'm a little busier than I anticipated today, so I will be posting the next IC tomorrow evening. It will conclude the training arc and we will move on to the first part of the "campaign". Sorry for the delay everyone.

@VoiD
Perfectly understandable.

@VoiD, are you still planning to post the time skip today? I'm thinking of squeezing in another post, but I don't want to start working on it if you're nearly ready.

Didn't see your recent post. This works out just fine for me.

The next IC is up, and the war has officially begun.

I'm aiming to give you all freedom (within the confines of the command structure) in how you approach the scouting missions. Depending on how @Not Fishing approaches this, you'll be sent out in your individual omadons. I'll be responding to each group individually in the coming posts.

Let me know if you guys have any questions/concerns/etc, thanks!

My bad!

The "coalition powers" of the British and Holy Roman empires, and the kingdoms of Hungary and Galicia. I didn't explicitly mention Hungary and Britain in the new IC post, but all four of them are part of the OOC premise.

So we are fighting Hungary and Galicia? Good to know. Not that bad considering I forgot to add a CS to my Opening post

@Sirkaithethird Yes, the first campaign for this rp will be against Galicia & Hungary.

Alright, questions:

1. Will Milos be expected to keep an Omadon or two back in town to act as a reserve unit?
2. Is Milos also expected to stay in town to do paperwork and such?
3. So I'm the one deciding the patrol/scouting routes?
4. Do we know if the enemy kingdoms have mobilized yet, and if they did mobilize what would be the estimated time required to reach us?
5. Those bridges seem like key strategic points. Have they already been fortified/put under watch, or will I have to assign men to do that?

1. No. The Captain deals with that, and the militia.
2. Not necessarily, you CAN but it's not expected. Whatever you think accomplishes your goal is fine in Philolakes' eyes.
3. Yes, though it is a good idea to consult your junior officers.
4. Information is pretty unknown -- your unit is the ones gathering that information. You're expected to run into a vanguard/scouting force, which is why Philolakes has sent you and the other bandons out.
5. Anything outside of Tomis/Istrus can be considered, in a way, enemy territory. There are peasants/farmers/freeholders/etc along the land but military presence is confined to the towns besides your scouting patrols at this time. You can assign men to hold or watch them as you see fit.

I'm going to drop out of this. Thanks for having me, it was nice while I was here.

@LordofthePies No worries, thanks for participating.

My post is half-typed up.

You don't mind if I come up with names for the NPC Cornets in the Bandon, do you?

@Not Fishing Nope, all you!

Expect a post tomorrow... 00:03 here and I am wiped. I have a day off Of work tomorrow so that should give me some time
