would there be repercussions from hiring the laid off units of the OKBA?
ReplyDeleteas in, does the overking care and would this draw notice and problems
No I think he's anxious to get them out of the Corelands. It's a cyclical thing, standing armies being a new-fangled and expensive institution.
ReplyDeletewhat's the deal with "Northland atlatl-men;" they're the one group that's not recognizable to me
ReplyDeleteI think that picking up Black Army units as the core of a new force is definitely the way to go here. Good availability, decent quality infantry.
ReplyDeleteHumza Kazmi let's not forget "resentment and desperation" either
ReplyDeleteAre they like to be Nemec babblers instead of good Pahr stock?
ReplyDeletecole long basically the blue-skinned folks living North of the World Canal like Kuhn-whathisface.
