As readers of the press will know, Major Marsaud is now a prisoner of war, held by the dasterdly Austrians!
If people want to try and help out, there's two options.
If his friends (he can't use his own resources on this) can scrape together a 700L ransom there's a 50% chance it will be accepted.
Or some of you could launch a heroic rescue attempt:
Full tables etc can be found on page 80 of the current rulebook.

Or some of you could launch a heroic rescue attempt:
A rescue attempt may be mounted by one or more PCs acting as a group. Such an attempt
takes a whole month (no costs or status as if at the front). A group gains a -1 mod if they number 3
or more; anyone having an MA of 6+ in the group gives a -1 mod (only once) and STR and rank
mods apply as for escapes. There is an additional -1 mod if the prisoners had planned their own
escape that month. The outcome is taken from the Rescue table and is independent for each rescuer
and prisoner: there are no mods to the death roll and an exact roll leads to 'Dicing with Death' as
usual. If captured, rescuers are kept together and with any prisoners that didn't escape (daft
foreigners never learn!). If the mission is a success (at least one prisoner makes it back to Paris) all
rescuers get an automatic MID.
