Jacques brings up a good point that this is likely only an issue in a PC lead regiment as NPC commanders would take the whole regiment by default. The only reason they would leave a company (or more) in Paris is if they were influenced by a PC.
I believe that the regimental staff would go with the commander. The rule that a partial regiment counts as a full regiment is likely based on the additional regimental command structure. A single troop of the DG under the Lieutenant did not count as an additional regiment but the DG Regiment with only one troop does. The difference is the regimental commander and his staff.
A PC Regimental Surgeon or Chaplain could be allowed to influence an NPC commander but that doesn't feel right to me. Why would the commander deploy without a surgeon to tend to his wounds?

Garrett Yes, a very valid point as Regimental surgeons and docteurs are very important!

About duels: Suggested change: Right now, nothing avoids the Military Academy to become a full mess of regimental duels, as neigher the duel rules nor the Military Academy ones (20.3) give it the sactuary status that court, churches or trials have. (skim reviewing the rules to update the index may end up by finding smal ldetails ).

Heh, part of me quite likes the idea that the Academy is full of brawling soldiers but I take your point.

Lottery rules:Those rules are the ones previous to the changes implemented by Huillaume when he was its Director (quoted here for facility). The Lottery sold 10 numbers last month, so the pot is just 500 for this one. As new Director, I find those numbers too low for the Lottery to have any sense (or interest). So, effective this same month (January 1631), the Lottery system will change: - The price will remain at 25 L per number.
- From now on, the prizes will be fixed to 1000 L the main one and 250 for the adjacent numbers. Additionally, any number whose last digit coincides with the winner one (except the winner one) will have its money back.
- Should there be no winner, 500 L will be added to the main prize and 125 to the secondary ones (adjacent numbers). This will be cumulative.
I hope those larger prizes will stir the interest on it. Anyone can be lucky… Baron Huillaume Largarde de Béarne Director of the Lottery. OOC: the main reason of those changes (approved by our King Louis XIII) is that the old system was broken. Not only the prizes used to be quite low (as few people bought them), but it could be cheated, as someone buying all numbers would spend 2500 L and win a pot of 5000 plus 1250 more per each adjacent number (for a total of 7500 L winning for 2500 L expense). To avoid the pot to mount too much and allowing this kind of trick, each month there would be a probability equal to (¼ of the unsold numbers)% that an NPC wins it, so restarting the pot. Of course there can be an occasional time when this trick might work, but I hope this will be rare. While I guess most of us are aware of the current rules, a new player might not, and believe they are still in effect. So I’d suggest to change them to reflect its current functioning.

39.2 (examples):
If, as I understand, those SP losses are the same as per Toady, and according the table in page 15, 10 SL difference would be a loss of 2 SP, not 3.

Honestly, these will be more useful when we get to those bits. I found in the past trying to do it non methodically meant things got overlooked too easily.

Another doubt (important for the invite to HE the Cardinal):
8.3 (3rd paragraph):
OTOH:
See that both the roll needed and the DMs are different. Which one applies?
Also, again 8.3 (3rd paragraph):
Does the "problem" Huillaume (or better said, Emelin) had with HM the King for his (in Emelin's words1) "needs to learn to keep it in his pantaloons" apply for this?
Note 1: if someone does not kno w(or remember) what I'm talking about, see Social Whirleind in La Voix de Paris October 1631

We'll go with 34.1 at the moment.
Think you might have misunderstood the second? It's talking about if the King is already at a court event etc.
