6.0 Support


6.1 The levels of monthly support in the original En Garde! rules have been extended to allow for even more conspicuous consumption according to the support table. The level of an individual's support will stand from month to month, so any required change in the level of consumption must be specifically ordered.

6.2 If normal support (2*SL) can not be paid then the unfortunate character drops one SL.

6.3 The award of bonus SPs by the GM for imaginative explanations, reported in the press, of how this excessive amount of money is being spent, is possible.

6.4 The support cost for horses and grooms has been simplified to a straight 5 crowns per horse owned per month (unless at the front).

6.5 Horses required for a new rank will automatically be purchased on promotion if the character has sufficient funds net of any outstanding. When a rank which requires horses is purchased horses are automatically bought at the same time.

6.6 Members of a cavalry regiment and captains of any regiment require 1 horse. Majors and above require 3  horses. Someone who has lost one or more horses will only receive brevet promotions until he again has the required number of horses. General officers who fail to replace lost horses will incur a SP penalty akin to that for having no female companionship in a month, until the situation is rectified.
