Alsi I think Bob puts everyone in Squad one before they Change to another. It's likely just easier that way

What is 'Support Company'? Each company supports itself and each other company. It's more like each make a piece. More information here: http://evilbob.fallenash.com/index.php?topic=488.0 |

Should we lock down the 2nd squad of scout company? They also seem a bit understaffed...

 I meant squad. Not company. I think the way we had it (though I never saw it agreed to), was: First Squad: Heavy Second Squad: Infantry Third Squad: Support Fourth Squad: Cavalry So with us taking Fourth out of the equation ... what's our Squad line-up now? Do we have a Support Squad now?

Got some scouts on the approval que. They should have enough to make two good squads. |

well technically speaking since Pc's made up the squads duties in the first place they can be changed. Truly the Legion probably thinks of us as a Company as "Medium Infantry with a squad of Calvary harassers" So however we want to do it is fine. Maybe somethign liek this?
Squad one: Can still be heavy and or assault based troops the aggressive sort I figure
Squad two: Medium and light infantry used to back up and reinforce the movements of Squad one
Squad three: Cav doing general Cav tactics
Squad four: reinforcements?
As for the Support Squad they would be spread about the other Squad's I suppose Tacitcal advisors for the gunso and so forth.

Squad Four should be removed of the equation to be honest... three is a lucky number, four is a number of death.
Anyways, squad one is the one that faces the shitstorm. They are the ones that assault the enemy and with strength and tactical power outmaneuver and rout the enemy. Squad two should be the 'support' on squad one, the reinforcements on the units and the ones that focus more in dueling the enemy.

Agree and disagree here. Squad 1 can be assault but squad 2 aren't your reinforcements or duelists thank you very much. We will be mobile infantry with unique skills and abilities. You can be grunts and heavy troops. We are elites. We aren't your support. We have our own role. I think squad 3 should be cavalry and squad 4 should be the NPC squad. Agreeing with EvilBob here. I ask that all those previously in squad 3 choose squad 1, 2 or 3 based on their expertise and comfort in battle. Squad 2 will probably be safer but only because we will be saving ourselves for the important moments to win all the glory XD I do agree that squad 4 needs to be gone though. Made a mistake and confused her with the other spider. She in Byakko where she belongs now. She'll be much happier there.
Awww she would have been plenty happy with me. You stole her from me! *Sobs* Looking at Shuichi's comment, I think that is very helpful. I second this suggestion: Squad one: Can still be heavy and or assault based troops the aggressive sort I figure Squad two: Medium and light infantry used to back up and reinforce the movements of Squad one Squad three: Cav doing general Cav tactics Squad four: reinforcements? (I would suggest we call this the "reserves" squad. It can also be made up of new legionnaires still waiting to be assigned to a Company or receiving training or punishment?) As for the Support Squad they would be spread about the other Squad's I suppose Tacitcal advisors for the gunso and so forth So please, if you are squad 3, reassign yourselves to the other 3 squads! Thank you |

In all practicality your looking at about 10000 men in the Legion. probably 6000 in South, 2000 in West, 1500 in East and 500 in North. There is most likely 6 squads in South when at full strength. I suppose we consolidated. |

I would say only 50-200 max in the shugenja company. They are rare. Like 1 in 10,000 usually. It would be odd to even have that many frankly.
Still I think Hoseki has an excellent suggestion here. We can be far less than 10K total troops to represent casualties suffered and so on. This means squads may have been cut. That makes a lot of sense.
EvilBob, could you consider this please? I think it really works!

I don't think all of the legion is here. A squad is about 30 strong, by the book. A post-Toturi Imperial Legion should be roughly 10 thousand, but that's more akin to what the core book refers to as "army", comprised traditionally by 48 legions (7 to 10 hundred strong). That's why we have a commander (shireikan) and not a general (rikugunshokan). A company (kaisha) is roughly 150-200 men, commanded by a lieutenant (chui). Four to five companies would make up a legion (daibutai), commanded by a captain (taisa), who is dead in our case. Maybe we had another legion with us, under the same commander, but got separated by the snow. Maybe they're all NPCs and staying with us... Evil Bob?
