@LordOfTheNight I see almost nothing of military doctrine in there, and culture I was mainly just looking for naming, how officers would be commissioned, is it based off education/experience(field commissions) alone, or are other means such as royalty.

Doctrine wise, I was wondering about how individual units would cohere to each other so I'm looking to create a sapper/engineer of some kind, and of course a lower ranking officer. So if we are going from a british stand point, I'd either be under artillery or the naval marines (weird reasons). Besides that, would sections be split up like in the british/most allied armies, like artillery (mortars/machine gun teams, artillery, anti aircraft emplacements, spotters), logistics (engineers, drivers, yeoman, etc), infantry (infantry and sharpshooters), cavalry (cavalry, armored cars, tanks, some planes[another odd thing to talk about during first world war british military]) or more like the german/italian doctrine, of if you think about it you can get it, so cav (anything mobile or flying), infantry (anything that is slow, and on the ground and not logistical), artillery and logistics (pretty much anything that isn't left with heavy artillery added in)

Oh! I'm picking up what you are putting down now. As far as military doctrine, it will function much like the Allies rather then the German/Italian doctrine.

As far as officers getting commissioned it comes down mostly to training and experience but coming from an educated and wealthy family gives one access to the Officer's Academy almost right off the bat with no military experience required. Otherwise one must complete time in the Officer Academy to earn their stripes so to speak

@Jamesyco

@LordOfTheNight Glad to hear it. Always nice to read new bits of lore.

I will be assembling my CS over the coming weekend. One Recon specialist coming up.

Glad to see this got an update, and that we've gotten several players in. A question, though. We've been in this war with the Iron Crown for some three years now, so do our characters already know each other, or are we reserves being sent to the front?

It's a mixture of both. Some are familiar with one another and some are simply reserves and conscripts being sent to the front

@Hawthorne

@LordOfTheNight Sounds about right. Thanks for the info!

Very nice. Eagerly awaiting the opening. Kinda wish we had more characters to fill our ranks, but at least our current roster looks good.

With that in mind, I've got a question. It says in our ranks that we have soldiers (which I presume are generic grunts) under our command. Do we RP them, or is that something we should leave to you?

Assuming we get any players who decide to play a lower rank than corporal or Lance corporal, you'll get to actually issue commands if you are the highest ranking officer in your particular group. However, as of right now you are free to RP the grunts at your leisure

I'm making a Private. Just been busy as hell with work and putting it together piecemeal over time.

Hopefully we can get this rolling soon.

Agreed. I definitely would like to see this go on, in spite of the delays.
