Raising Troops

Player Characters raising their own troops possess the option of leading the formation and bearing appropriate command rank:

Sir Norbert desires to establish a regiment of Irish volunteers. Responsible for forming Dontrasongle's Dragoons, Sir Norbert leads the unit as colonel.

Furthermore, the character creating the unit reserves the right to offer commissions to other players (commission costs at discretion of PC commander):

1. Number of ensignships/cornetcies unlimited for all units.

Sir Norbert then advertises openings in his new regiment. Since Norbert wishes to personally lead Dontrasongle's Dragoons, the remaining commissions for potential purchase include two majorities, six captaincies, eighteen lieutenancies, and a limitless number of cornetcies.

The table below shows species and cost of units available:

1. Prices for one company of a specific form of unit.
2. Militia and Yeomanry created only for domestic defense.
3. One month to raise unit.
4. Formed exclusively for foreign conflicts - disbanded at end of expedition unless ordered by the Secretary at War & Chancellor of the Exchequer.
5. Two months to raise unit.
6. Three months to raise unit.
7. Four months to raise unit.

Dontrasongle's Dragoons composes of nine companies of cavalry. Thus, Sir Norbert needs 45,000 Crowns and two months to raise his new regiment.

Once constituted, the new unit's creator gains 1 Social Point for every 1,000 Crowns spent in its formation:

1. Applicable only during the unit's activation month.

As founder of Dontrasongle's Regiment of Dragoons, Sir Norbert Dontrasongle acquires 45 Social Points on the month of its inception.

Finally, upon activation, the British Army assumes responsibility for the unit's maintenance.
