Popular people's physician Bastian Anton De'ath believes that he has given good and loyal service to the Aquitaine Regiment, a noble body of men, but now the time is ripe to move on! His growing reputation within Paris, with increased demand for his services, means the good docteur would be best placed in a more suitable regiment, i.e. the Paris Guard*, so therefore he announces the following -
1. The current regimental docteur for the Paris Guard to pack his bags and jolly well clear off somewhere else.
2. Bastian Anton De'Ath applies to become the replacement, with immediate effect, so the Guard can enjoy the benefits of his medical expertise.
Signed,
Bastian Anton De'Ath
* Should my personal application to become Comte Hullame Lagarde de Bearne's Aide and a member of the Royal Foot Guards not be granted, thinking positive I can't see any reason why not!

From: Captain Lagarde, Commander of the Royal Foot Guard
To: H.E. the Royal Equerry
Mon Marechal,
Things in the borders seem to have been calmed lately, but our force there is small, and reinforcements would surely be appreciated (and even needed ,depending on how situation develops).
Last March the Royal Foot Guards fought under HM leadership, and while they fought well, I believe there’s still space to improve, and some campaigning would be good to keep them in shape and to sharpen their skills. As the summer seems to be quiet, and with most Regiments at Paris, I really believe it would be a good time for the Regiment to go helping the campaign, as the Musketeers will be able to guard the Royal persons and property, along with the company left behind and the Cardinal Guards.
So, I ask your permission to take the Royal Foot Guards to campaign this summer, helping the (scarce) troops in the borders, and so taking the opportunity to sharpen the skills for Rank and File and the cohesion of the unit, so that we can better serve our King. Needless to say, a Company would be left behind to keep with the usual duties.
Keeping at your orders in King’s service
Captain Lagarde
Commander of the King’s Foot Guards
OOC: Huillaume asks the King's Equerry permission to volunteer the KFG (less one Company, as stated in rules) to the Campaign. failing this, he asks to be allowed to march with only his Company (the 4th), as Company Commander. (note that if the Regiment is allowed, Father Chatten will marcdh with them, while if only the 4th Company , he wil lstay in Paris with the Regiment, unless I read wrong the rules)

OOC is Father Chatten allowed to apply for promotion to Abbe, but still go on campaign since the intention to go on Campaign was announced prior to the Father seeking elevation? Or is it easier all round if Father Chatten doesn't apply for promotion until after the Summer Campaign, should the request from the RFG be accepted?

He would be, but if he takes the rank he'll automatically lose the appointment. |

The Right Reverend the Canon of Sens,
Your Reverence,
May I humbly put forward my candidature for the role of Abbe of Sens.
Please note that, as Chaplain of the Royal Foot Guard, I have every intention of giving all the support i can to them should they be accepted to go on Campaign this coming season, and would be unable to commence duties as Abbe until September.
Father Gerard Chatten
Curate of Sens
Chaplain of the Royal Foot Guard
Societas Iesu
OOC GC applies for Abbe, however will decline the role if he gets it. if the RFG are accepted for the Summer Campaign and instead accompany the RFG as chaplain.

ooc Further to his above applications, GC would like to complicate things by applying to accompany JBO's expedition to West Africa should the RFG fail to gain permission to go on Campaign.
Sam, as this falls under Mission rules rather than expedition for a priest, I presume GC needs a 5+ from an Archbishop for this to be allowed, and if so, are there any Jesuit Archbishops around?

Yes, but not the Archbishop of Sens and the Church generally frowns on you going to an Archbishop from another area.  |

(note that if the Regiment is allowed, Father Chatten will marcdh with them, while if only the 4 th Company , he wil lstay in Paris with the Regiment, unless I read wrong the rules) OOC: You won't be sent to the Campaign here. You'd be sent to a Frontier instead. To get sent to the Campaign you'd need to substitute for one of the regiments at the Front.
21.19Once per season, the Minister of War may substitute one regiment that is at the front for one that wishes to volunteer. An NPC will do this on 7+ (class 8) |

An NPC will do this on 7+ (class 8) I use the word "camapaign" because I feel it more adecuate for the time sthan "front" (this word was not used for wars ntil quite latter). Do you men that if volunteering it would be sent at any Fronteir but the Spanish one (where more troops may be needed)? See that both Savoy (where the RNHB is sent) and Lorraine are already manned at maximum, Flanders fully manned and the Spanish Border, while fully manned (albeit it could have another Regiment), is likely to need reinforcements if HL is reduced by BRs... |

Do you men that if volunteering it would be sent at any Fronteir but the Spanish one (where more troops may be needed)? Yes, largely because more troops won't bee needed. HL works differently in Summer. It stays at 10 throughout and then the average BR is used to decide the hostility level at the end of Summer. Because of that, without a substitution, you'll be sent to Flanders. (Although of course it's possible the HL could go up there if things go badly!) |

Because of that, without a substitution, you'll be sent to Flanders. (Although of course it's possible the HL could go up there if things go badly!) OK, I understand it, though it seems me a bit odd from story POV... So, to be sent to the Spanish border, first the King's Equerry should be influenced (to be allowed to volunteer. 6+ roll, influence 7 needed), and then the Minister of War to swap the RFG for another Regiment (7+ roll inflluence 8 needed). Is this right? So, I understand only 1 Regiment may be volunteered this month, as Flanders can only accept 1 more and otehr fronts are already fully manned. RIght? Aside from posible HL increases due to bad BR, it has 50% possibilities to increase by 1 (roll 4+) just for being garrisson deployment,,, And one last question (at least for now  ): should only the 4 th Company be allowed to volunteer, I guess it could be sent anywhere, is this right? |

E.g., should the Guards be allowed to volunteer, couldn't be the Minister of War (if as a regiment) or the Inpectro General (if as Company) be asked to swap regiments or move theCompany ot another frontier respectivelly? |

): should only the 4th Company be allowed to volunteer, I guess it could be sent anywhere, is this right?
