Rewritten Military rules. Remember that I'm doing things step by step at the moment before editing them into the full rulebook, partly because that should hopefully help sort out issues. So those always take precedence over 1.3 where they conflict. It's been suggested I do a google doc with the latest rulebook which I'm going to try and get up in the next few days.

One more suggestion I've been thinking about for a while:
Aides and adjutants for military posts and intendants/secretaries for ministerial ones are assumed to be trusted advisors for their principals.
I'd suggest to allow them a limited form of influence specifically with them, by allowing them to modify one roll a month (or once a season, though this will mean more bookkeeping) to modify a roll on them by +1 or -1 at will (as if using an influence on them, but not able to use in anything else, nor adding to other influences to achieve a superior one).
e.g.: a PC is Regimental adjutant. Someone asks the Colonel to, while in campaign, take a specific personal goal (as per 21.3). he can influence the roll by a +1 or -1. Same if someone applies for entering this Regiment, or to volunteer it to the front.
Of course, this makes those posts more powerful, depending on the principal (the state major post, if so able to influence a roll form the General adjutant each month/season, takes more power, just to give an example).

Hmm. I lean towards thinking that the influence for those posts is an abstracted way of representing that anyway.

Well,my reason to suggest it is because almost none of those applications can in fact influence his principal with the influence the office gives (intendants for war and foreign affairs, secretaries of state and aide of the Dauphin being the exceptions), while I understand that they have his ear (and i nthe case of aides, being their personal secretaries, can put a petition upper or lower in the papers...
