Lethair, shadow wizard

Hogald, huntsmen leader

Karl, knights

Erik, Halrberdiers

Could anyone take care of one of these regiments (preferably the knights), I'm in command of too many men.

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #6 on:** March 29, 2004, 08:24:42 PM »

Master Engineer Rudolf Gräber, driving his trusted steamtank Himmelwagen (configuration: steam gun only).

Fifth Halberdier Platoon, 30 men led by sergeant Jürgen Müller.

And, I can confirm that Ceridan the Green One is with us. He has some problems with his Internet connection, but should be able to participate.

OCC: holy crap i seem some porblems alright the flaggies are stripped of there explosives due to endangerment of other troops and it is just flat out inhumane!!! Since when do we have a steam tank?

This will be very very hard to work into the storyline Konrad...

OCC: what does green lead?

dead 'ard greatsword · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2004, 05:14:04 AM »

please warrior why can't i have flaggies of nuln it's not like i'll kill other troops and yes it should be allowed because it creates a time of apocalyptic doom and that's what flaggies are about

p.s. krark is a minor noble,

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #9 on:** March 31, 2004, 06:32:49 AM »

Ceridan leads a unit of Swordmasters of Hoeth.

Don't bother about how the steam tank made it to te Southlands, let's just say it was secretly built since the Engineers' Guild has the patent on them, and Karl von Richtmark (Konrad's dad) did not want to pay the full fee. The Southlands is a fairly remote place to test-drive it without attracting too much attention.

I would have thought Konrad didnt want elven fighters on his side!?

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2004, 08:10:57 AM »

Konrad is at home for the moment, drilling his to-be Greatsword guard.

But, on the other hand, I think I'll include them here. I scrap my halberdier unit and take in the good ol' swordsmen from The March, but refitted as greatswords.

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2004, 08:15:34 AM »

Damn forum doesn't allow me to edit my post!

Ok, here it goes.

Konrad von Richtmark, son of the Elector Count of Talabheim.

Konrad is clad in Armour of Meteoric Iron and wields a bastard sword (two hands, either make a swift blow for +1 strength or a strikes-last heavy blow with +2 strength).

Leads a unit of 24 greatswords about to see their first battle. They're not the official Greatswords of Talabheim (those belong to his dad), so they only have heavy armour instead of full plate armour. They fly a Banner of Valour.

Rathis Darkwielder · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2004, 10:28:36 AM »

Btw Konrad, where did you leave that runefang. I hope your 'dad' wasn't too angry about you borrowing it for a while

deepfat · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2004, 10:16:19 PM »

Barnados' pikes, 30 men

Barnado is armed with a two cutlasses and his standard depicts a figure surrounded by light, cutting down a foul beast of choas.

Barnado, know as St. Barnado to his men, is a deeply loyal to his god sigmar. He has a deep-set hatred for the scourge of choas and regularly gives sermons to his troops from the holy text.

Barnados' pikeman are willing to sign up to your army, for the right price.....

Am I in?

regards,

stewart

Gotrek shall accompany you Lord Konrad. You may learn from us if you wish. Wield with us the Hammer of the Gods!

Ceridan the Green One · « **Reply #16 on:** April 03, 2004, 04:04:27 PM »

OCC: my computer has a virus i will start this soon i hope

oh and flaggies are allowed but flaggies with dyno attached is not its just inhumane! Steam tank we found an old ran down one from a battle and an engineer repaired for us at a high fee! Oh and the piekmen may fight in the Emperors army only if they sware absolute allegiance and they will be payed upon deeds etc... you do nothing u get nothing!

deepfat · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2004, 11:15:41 AM »

And the mecernarys get to keep whatever they plunder?

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2004, 06:45:05 PM »

Supposedly if they plunder the enemy troops, but if they go out randomly plundering civilian villages I'm rather confident they can expect an end to their contract, and probably execution even.

EC.Sylvania · « **Reply #20 on:** April 09, 2004, 07:05:26 PM »

It depends on the contract.

Historically there was very little distinction between civilian, religious, or military plunder as long as the army was in enemy territory.

A good documented example of this type of behavior in the extereme would be the sack of rome in 1527.

http://www.oldnewspublishing.com/rome.htm

You need to remember that the soldiers were paid a small monthly salary from which they had to buy their own weapons, clothes, food, etc.. Nothing was provided. (There are even documented cases of armies charging their own soldiers travel costs for coming back to Europe after a campaign in Northern Africa!)

On campaign in hostile territory it was probably better for morale to let your men take what they need rather than make them pay for it.

OCC: not from the lizards they will return for your head on the next fight you may though! etc.. the lizards are here under the impression that we have stolen something from them when elves actually have!

Konrad von Richtmark · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2004, 03:24:38 PM »

But EC.Sylvania, remember, this is the Warhammer universe. Factions like "the Empire" will have to appear reasonably good fluff-wise, or things like the "Conclave of Light" would lose their credibility.

While I can imagine Tilean mercenaries looting their way through the countryside, looting wouldn't fit Empire fluff (except maybe for the Free Companies). Unless, of course, you want to apply imperialforge's historically correct attitude and amass über-huge armies trying to outstarve each other ála the 30 years war, and a fourth of the Imperial population in the process.
