NPC Officers: The original rules give them no Death Mods at all, so that they don't hold up PCs at all. Why not go back to that (but only throw for them if they _are_ blocking some PC...)?
See that any NPC might block positions, as non-military PCs might attempt to entry a Regiment, or PCs currently i na regiment may be inerested to change them...
In any case, being blocked may be good or bad, as depending on the players interests or strategy sometimess a MiD is better than a promotion, be it because you hold an appointment that a promotion will make you losing it, because you need more the SP fro ma MiD than to raise in rank, or whatever it be.

Yeah, for random events I'm definitely not going to be putting in any random death. How do you feel about milder consequences? Diseases or taxes? Mostly though I'd be looking more at "father dies" and that kind of thing. I don't mind either way with NPC officers, it only makes a difference of 1. I do think I should roll for all of them though, because of the possibility of being promoted back home while with a frontier regiment. I think this is a good idea. Life is a box of chocolates, and some that look sweet can hide a bitter filling. A few surprises will help keep the game from becoming a production line. I have a tendency to spreadsheet the life out of any game that is based rigidly on formulae. Surprises spice things up, and we have to learn to take the rough with the smooth. We can still shift the odds in our favour, but may be thrown way off track for a while. I think the carousing, social disease, and pregnancy rules already bring this to the game, though I have not researched those much - waiting for them to slap me with a large halibut.

If some Military Officer volunteers to the Frontier Regiments (whatever th reason), and then his unit is volunteered, what happens hith him? Does he being kept in the Frontier Regiments (leaving the command gap in his own Regiment) or he rejoins his unit (also attached to the Frontier units) so that his unit keeps the command structure?
Will this be different if he joined the Frontier Regiments in disgrace (to pay debts, not because poltroonery or other military matters, where his Regiment would see him worse, I guess) or voluntarly?
(As i see Hullaume economic situation as bad as for this to be a true possibility, I must ask now to plan the future).

If out of season he'll be transferred over to his normal command position if his unit is volunteered.
Same with Summer, but note that volunteering isn't allowed, only replacements.

You can volunteer to join the Frontier Regiments, you just cannot bring your unit with you. Correct?

That's correct. Note that units also can't be volunteered in the last month of any season. (So you'll be staying at the front with your squadron, but anyone volunteering anew will have to go with a frontier regiment proper).

Some questions about the discussions we have been having to now, as I have no a clear idea Abaout if any conclusion has been reached and how will some things be handled for now. Specifically: - General Staff and Volunteering for the Front (see my last post quoting what rules currently say, or at least how I do understamnd it)
- Discussion of Mistresses and Influence
- BR and MA changes
Could you be so kind as to explain me (as I cannot talk for others) how will those items will be handled until you can release an updated version of the house rules?

Can a character join a regiment which is already at the front? If he can, will he join them in battle that month?

Yes, but not in the last month of a campaign.

At the current time your interpretation of the rules is correct. However, by the time this becomes relevant it's quite likely I'll have overhauled the military rules entirely. (They're unnecessarily complex at the moment). Seasonal renewals, but with slightly reduced influence levels. The table will be in the new rulebook, out Friday. BR and MA changes I'm going to go with JPM's suggestions: I'll be standardising the other non military tables along the same lines.

About Rank vs post DMs:
(First of all, this question is not urgent , as I guess it would not apply for a while...)
I understand if a Captain is acting as Battalion commander, he keeps the Captain DMs in campaign, not the Major ones (despite acting as such). Right?
If so, and seeing the RNH rules:
Should, to give an example, a Lt General volunteer for the RNH (e.g. for being low on founds), whould he keep his Lt. General DMs (quite better than any Battalion Commander) despite being acting as a Battalion Commander (so as a Major/Lt. Colonoel)?
