Legion Standard Training Guide

[Beamon4 1690]

BY ORDER OF THE MARSHALL,

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

The following reforms to the training schedules of Dungrimm’s Legion, the main defensive body of the Under Realms of Urguan, shall be put into effect immediately for the betterment and security of Dwarven soldiers:

 

(1) Legion practices shall from here-on forth be hosted by the Grand Marshall or one of his Commanders twice every stone week (Saturday and Sunday.)

 

(2) To ensure maximum activity, payment to legionnaires shall only be doled out during these practices. Honor for the stone-week shall only be legitimized during these practices.

(a)If a soldier does not attend a practice during the stone week(without adequate reason) for which he has recorded honor, that honor will be void.

(b)If a soldier does not attend a practice(without adequate reason) at the end of the month to redeem his monthly payment, that payment shall be void and irredeemable. The commanders shall accommodate this by hosting several more practices during the last week of each stone month.

 

(3) During the weekly practices, legionnaires shall be grouped into platoons of four; this shall be the basis for the following exercises.

 

STANDARD STRUCTURE FOR LEGION TRAINING SESSIONS:

 

Begin by paying the present soldiers and then dividing the present legionnaires into platoons of four, or of a lower number if there are less legionnaires, such that it is possible for squadrons of more than one person to fight and advance so as to replicate battle. BEGIN WITH FORMATIONS TRAINING: AEMIZ, VEL, DREE VEL, TEKOM.

 

 

I. MELEE COMBAT: legionnaire platoons shall be matched up against one another to learn how to fight hand-to-hand with blunt weapons against other contingent platoons. This aims to replicate battle better than one on one fighting, as battle involves multiple soldiers.

 

Platoons will be ranked by their progression against other platoons and the winners of the practice games will be awarded honour and a monetary bonus.

 

II. MISSILE SKIRMISH: platoons shall fight each other with bows and arrows outside the mountain on a field in close range and open range combat. They will be ranked, the highest ranking in each category then granted honour and a monetary bonus.

 

 

IIIa. SIEGE TACTICS/CAPTURE THE FLAG (only end-of week practices): two mock palisades camps shall be constructed on the fields of Agnarum at least 150 meters ((blocks)) apart. Legionnaires shall be divided into two evenly sized groups, who will fight to get to the center of the other group’s palisade fort in order to capture their flag. Instead of wearing their helmets they will wear their group banners.  This can be done either outrightly or covertly. The winning group will be awarded honour and the person who captured the flag will be awarded money. If multiple soldiers captured the flag at the same time, they must fight each other and the winner of this shall be awarded the monetary bonus.

 

IIIb. CAVALRY TACTICS (only beginning-of-week practices): soldiers shall be given horses and they shall be divided into two cohorts. Instead of wearing the helmets they will wear their banners. Soldiers can use both melee and missile weaponry. They will organize on an open field and play two matches whereby they charge at each other from pre-selected regions in the terrain. The surviving members of the winning cohort will be awarded honor and minas.

 

Then, the second cavalry game will take place. The surviving members of this iteration winning cohort will also be awarded honor and minas.

 

PRACTICES ARE THE QUICKEST WAY OF EARNING HONOR. IN ADDITION TO TRADITIONAL HONOR MEANS, PRACTICE ACTIVITIES GIVE THE FOLLOWING HONOR AND MINAS:

 

COMPENSATION TABLE FOR WEEKLY PRACTICES (SQUAD TOTAL):

Drill:	MELEE	MISSILE	SIEGE	CAVALRY	TOTALS:
Practice A (start of week)	20 honor; material	15 honor; material	N/A	15 honor material	40 honor; 200 material
Practice B (end of week)	2o honor; material	15 honor; material	35 honor; material	N/A	60 honor; 225 material

 

These compensations are for the winners of each practice only, as described by the drills elaborated on above. Anything marked with an x after it signifies the honor multiplied by the amount of people in winning squadron.

 

Promotions will be handed out at the end of each practice if a soldier exceeds the honor needed for their promotion during that practice. At practices, honor will be granted, but depending on the disposition of the soldier during practice honor may also be taken away. Soldiers found to be acting irrational or, at worst, stark raving mad, will have 20 honor deducted from them per incident.

 

SOLDIERS WHO DO NOT ATTEND ONE PRACTICE PER WEEK(WITHOUT ADEQUATE REASON) WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR SWIFT PROMOTION. SOLDIERS WHO DO NOT ATTEND THREE PRACTICES PER MONTH WILL BE DISCHARGED DISHONORABLY FOR TRUANCY.

 

Active legionnaires will be granted a 70 mina discount on house purchases, and a 50 mina discount in tax.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED

Will an FM please pin and lock this? Thanks

((OOC)) Looks great, however I do not like the use of Squadrons and Platoons. One is Air Force, the other is Marines.

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.

 

If you feel this is a mistake, please contact myself or any FM and we'll restore it.
