Monsieur Colonel,
I am afraid that my application to join the Picardy Musketeers last month must have gone astray since when I arrived to present myself for duty on the 1st of July the clerk in the orderly room looked askance at me and the oaf said he'd never heard of me! The cheek of it! I can only presume that my letter to you must not have reached you since you are clearly crying out for men and would never refuse an applicant such as I I'm sure. To this end I once again request that I be allowed the honour of purchasing a commission to the rank of Captain within the Picardy Musketeers and I shall ensure that this missive arrives at your door myself.
Your servant,
Jacques D'Mestos
[OOC: JD applies to the PM in August]

Mon Brigadier.
Congratulations on your promotion, though of course your excitement must be tempered by grief at the loss of both your predecessor and the major in last month's battle.
Should it please you, monsieur, I would ask that you consider my application to replace the unfortunate major. My recent performance with the 4th Arquebusiers earned me both a mention in despatches and promotion.
I have faith in you, and am confident you will lead the brigade to success at last, ere we return to Paris.
I remain, Monsieur, your obedient servant,
Major Marsaud, officer commanding 3rd battalion, 4th Arquebusiers.
[OOC: JPM applies for appointment as Brigade Major of 3rd Brigade]

I don't really understand why we need to have all applications in one thread? Is that necessary?

I'd have thought the exact opposite. One thread with potentially lots of posts vs individual posts clearly labelling what/who. Hey ho. It's how this game rolls, that's all good.

Dantes Bellgarde will apply for a captaincy in the King's Musketeers. What an honor for this regiment to be ennobled by so fine a son of the Duc de'Bourbon. (he'll use his influence to improve the dice roll if that is allowed or helpful) Dantes will plan shortly for how he will proceed if snubbed by the Musketeers, which could, conceivably, happen. Perhaps Dantes will accept a position in a lesser regiment far beneath his stature and refinement. He has been known to dally with the less fortunate as an occasional lark [OOC: I accidentally posted this in the July thread  ] |

Letter Hillaume sends to the CG Lt Colonel:
OOC: I intend to use my appointment influence (level 2) on him to convince him to apply for the post, as his MA (5) will really improve the Division Commander's (3), so (I hope) helping the whole Division.

A cunning plan! If such NPC actions can indeed be induced, it would be useful to record in the Regiments table the MA of other officers, and any appointments they hold outwith the regiment. There may be a lieutenant-colonel with MA6 who would make a stronger candidate (-1 MA modifier on application if he takes Major de Béarne's advice).
Who is the mysterious Army Adjutant (MA5)? A colonel, presumably, but which one? Three fit the bill (KM, QOC, and PM), but each of those appears to be with his regiment.

NOTE: I guess al lof this is OOC:A cunning plan! If such NPC actions can indeed be induced, it would be useful to record in the Regiments table the MA of other officers, and any appointments they hold outwith the regiment. There may be a lieutenant-colonel with MA6 who would make a stronger candidate (-1 MA modifier on application if he takes Major de Béarne's advice). Sure, but the CG Lt Col is the only one with MA listed (this aside, remember Huillaume consideres the CG as friends, be this reciprocical or not, having served in this Regiment). Who is the mysterious Army Adjutant (MA5)? A colonel, presumably, but which one? Three fit the bill (KM, QOC, and PM), but each of those appears to be with his regiment. Or may be a Colonel coming from the Frontier Regiments (I guess there are more of them, even if only 1 Infantry and 1 Cavalry are active in each Campaign). Remember you can well be promoted to Colonel on them...

To Colonel of the Picardy Musketeers:
Please accept my application in service of your fine regiment to fill the vacancy as captain. I am a native son of Picardy and most desirous to maintain the reputation and honor of our regiment.
Please accept my donation of 200 crown in support of my application. I am most eager to be of service.
