SAS army -STRUCTURE REVIEW committe

Looks good to me.

fair and square......
I have been Chief marshal of Bath for a while and I've always thought that they deserve this little recognition, especially the ones in long term duty....

bah! recognishion smecognition! You know who needs to be recognized? Merchants! And I am not referring to myself, I get enough recognition.

But our merchants are who bring in money and needed goods to our towns' economies, which in turn makes our County strong. If not for merchants we would be in a serious iron and stone crisis. If not for merchants our citizens would be "eating grass and dirt" (quote from a Chardian friend of mine).

Merchants do not need to flex their muscles or sharpen their swords or threaten lives to do their job; merchants flex their minds, sharpen their intellect, and use cunning and negotiation skills to make our county mighty. Defense i suppose is necessary, but we wouldn't be defending much if our merchants didn't keep our economy prosperous and our people fed.

For Somerset!


(ooc. In case anyone didn't know, Rebo's past is filled with tormented nightmares of reality. His family was wiped out by the military - those who were supposed to protect them. As a result he has become an ardent Conscientious Objector and opponent to any armed force, especially SAS. I role play someone who is totally anti military)

Thank you rebo, we know, especially you and me this sensitive part of our County.
These days we make a vital import for our County with Iron and stones.
The County Agent didnt ask nothing !! Yes, it is a personal friend, but who says personal friends doesnt bring money to our treasury in any way ?
You and me ,we travel a lot without asking for wages, trading also to export a lot and bring here what we need for our Towns prosperity, and now we work on this for our County.
Though, parallel with that, we have our SAS army, and we have to give here a new structure to motivate more people to participate on this.

Flags, banners and medals always brought moral and recoginition to the military lines, and with a new structure i hope , in this Somerset vital structure to bring some resuts.

Now, i will post the new SAS structure for a final look and then we will vote from tommorow.

Thank you all for your participation.

2.2 High infantry (Cavalry) –

Requirements: 45 Days of Service, 5 Action points, 50 SP, Equipped with a shaft at the minimum
• Cavalier
Requirements: 60 Days of Service, 10 Action points, 75 SP, Equipped with a sword at the minimum
• Squire
Requirements: 75 Days of Service, 15 Action points, 100 SP, Equipped with a sword at the minimum

I think 2.2 should be Cavalry lose the high infantry and change Cavalier to Squire abd vice versa.

High infantry is erased and we keep the Cavalry, nice choice.
About the ranks, well i am sorry Brighda, we have already some Soldiers in these ranks and now will be little confusing to change it.

Thank you all for your participation, we can proceed for voting now.
