You are a sternguard, a soldier heavily drilled in defensive action. Your section is often spread out to bolster the Line Platoons. At times your whole section may be summoned in order to cover a newly exposed flank vulernably to immediate threats.
>Green Stern
Within the last campaign season, Green Stern has been known to have the most punitive actions within all of Second Battalion. Highlights of crimes committed are: Punching a messenger and stealing their message to report as enemy intel due to intoxication, and keeping a caged ferret in the barracks as a pet without ever hygiening it.

You are an Archer of a Skirmisher Section. Although trained in using both longbows and shortbows, you specialize in close-range missiles and harassment. Other weapons include; javelins, slings, throwing axes. Sometimes Lineguards are sent with crossbows to bolster your capabilities.

During training operations, Skirmishers are stereotyped as just disappearing to sleep in the woods and not doing any drills. It's somewhat true.

>Orange Skrim
Orange Company is notoriously known to have a glory hound of a captain, and he often utilizes his Skirmishers to flank the enemy instead of harassing. As a result, most of the skirmishers of Orange Skrim are new, with a small body of seniors to train, mentor, and haze them.

You are a Cavalryman. You were most likely selected due to having an animal handling background. As a Cavalryman, you were also trained in basic infantry skills like that of the many lineguards, but mostly focused on cavalry tactics and drills. You are used mainly to quickly react to emerging situation, dismounting sometimes just to be extra infantry, or to mount a charge in an already vulnerable flank.

Most of your day consists of taking care of the horses when not training, and as a new recruit, you'll be the one getting rid of the excrement.

>Violet Cav
Between the other two cavalry platoons of 2nd Battalion, Violet Cav is known to be the most squared away. Unfortunately, just as you got in, Silver Support's First Sergeant got replaced by an extremely puritan one, and has been pushing for banning alcohol from among the men, even during liberty.

>>78944930
You are part of Field Support Company's headquarters. You're either a specialized and highly trained Signaller, who transmits field signals across the battle space, and interpretting received signals, or perhaps even a Ranger, a Scout who is trained in correcting long range fires from arrows, siege engines, and/or canons. You might even have been one of the Field Medics, who are often tasked to join the other Support units like the Cavalry or the Missiles.

You are in Violet HQ. You are probably like >>78944930, but it's also possible that you are just a simple runner, a Lineguard from the company with the Captain at all times because you're a fast runner, and could thus carry messages if signals can't do anything.

>>78944981
You are a Lineguard. The Spear of the Emperor. Your kind make up the bulk of the Army, not just this Regiment. Issued a helmet, cuirass, spaulders, gorget for defense, you are also quipped with the standard Army Defense Kit, consisting of the Army Seax and Buckler slung over one shoulder across your chest (issued to all personnel). On your other shoulder, you carry a satchel with your pole-arm heads, a set of interchangeable heads for your Army Spear to quickly convert your Spear into a halberd, hammer, or even bill.

>Gray Three
Coincidentally, Gray Three always finds itself as a reserve for a sister company. When being pushed to the frontline by Gray Proper, the battle space tends to put it into a situation that puts Gray Three to either White or Black Company's command temporarily, serving as reserves.

You are an Engineer, trained to construct, operate, and maintain siege engines on the field. With a few carpentry skills, the Battalion often uses you to construct temporary defensive fortifications. You'll most often find yourself in the rear of a field battle, and if you're not operating a siege engine, you're probably on litter duty for the Line.

>This Army is in a setting I've been developing that I used to describe as Late Medieval/Early Renaissance Europe

Conscription wasn't really a thing in late Medieval/early Renaissance Europe, but your setting isn't earth, so you do you.

Conscription doesn't really begin in Europe until the French Republic. A problem with conscription is that men pressed into service will demand political rights to go along with it (which was the whole point of the revolution, so not really a problem for the early Republic), and since you've armed and trained them, they have the force to back up those demands.

This doesn't mean that every Medieval or Renaissance army was made up of professionals, militia troops were extremely common, but their militia service was established on contractual agreements, and not a requirement. The meme of "le peasant mob forced to fight with pitchforks and shovels" is just that- a dumb meme that needs to die.

>>78945945
What about levys?

>>78945945
cont:
Not that I'm saying you're falling for the peasant mob meme, but another problem for conscription is that arming and training large numbers of men, and then maintaining them as a standing force who need to be housed and fed (and who aren't doing their ordinary work contributing to your economy) is VERY expensive.

The type of militia that I mention in my above post would skirt this problem by 1) only being liable for service for a set amount of time. 2) be made up of wealthier commoners (small landowners, craftsmen, tenant farmers willing to perform service as a portion of their rent) who paid for their own equipment (no standard issue gear). Cities would generally be autonomous from state authority, and would have their own militia forces.

>>78945984
Same thing. A "levy" would be made of militiamen who paid for their own equipment, set aside a certain amount of time to conduct training, and performed this service in exchange for reduced taxes (if they owned land) or rent. They would be organized hierarchically based on their wealth and ability to procure arms.

The stereotypical "peasant levy" of untrained pitchfork-wielders would end up being more of a liability than an asset for anything other than immediate local defense (and even then they'd likely fuck things up), and a total disaster for campaigning, since they'd need to be fed and paid and the larger the army, the more problems you have with travel speed and encampment... all of that expense in exchange for absolute minimal fighting ability. Forcing landless serfs to fight is also kinda pointless, since they'd have no incentive to fight. If their LOCAL LORD loses, then they just pay their dues to the new guy and nothing changes. They don't give a shit who wins.

Color Support. You are a member of the Support Platoon, be it either Vanguard, Sternguard, Archer, or Cavalryman.

Being Color Guard was once a prestigious position, back when a unit's colors', their standard, was their pride and glory, and having it captured signified defeat. Thus, only the most seasoned veterans are put in the Color Guard, aka the Tenth Company., who mostly acted as reserves.

Today, those seasoned soldiers are now put in the front to work with their juniors and guide them in the field. The Color Guard has instead been changed to a unit to temporarily house injured/wounded soldiers who still have to finish their enlistment. In the field of battle, you are most likely in the most rear position as security.

I'll continue: There would be a role for untrained poor "conscripts," but it would be in a sort of "logistics" category: Baggage carriers, cooks, camp sanitation workers, etc. They wouldn't be expected to fight, but any large force on campaign needs these types (they don't NEED them, but it's less trouble for your fighting men). Such personnel would be made up of the poorest; serfs (who have no choice), or poor tenant farmers who can perform such work in lieu of normal rents.

You are a Vanguard. Heavily armored, specialized in frontal assault tactics, Vanguards are often used in reserve in a given line. The Lineguard act as a screen, and if a vulnerability is spotted anywhere, a section of Vanguard could be deployed to immediate push through an enemy line.
Their weapons of choice include the; Falchion, Poleaxe, War-scythes, Greatswords, Flails.
They should never be used on their own, and require Lineguards to support their advance.

The Templars, also known as the Custodians of the Temple of Uriel, is a marshal monastic order older than the Empire itself. Without getting too much into history, they are a holy order that vowed to defend the Temple of your Faith's Prophet from falling to the hands of heathens. They operate in a heavily mountainous area with dense jungle, and are the masters of Jungle and Mountain Warfare. Their organization receives volunteers, and all members are promoted from the bottom. There is no distincting between noble and commoners. They used to have a reputation of being extremely pious, but now they call themselves 'sinner' even among their own ranks in a casual manner; "Hey sinner, how about you shave that sin off your face, you look like a bag of ass!"

The physical banner is actually held by the ensign, your little squire intern who you sometimes force to eat with the privates so he could learn to be humble.

The actual duties of the Banneret is; making tactical platoon to company level decisions, keep your men in good condition, such as managing your sergeants to swap out their ranks, deciding who to stay in reserve, when to deploy smoke screens during an advance, make pace for your platoon to follow you in a timely manner but without overexerting their energy so that they would be vulnerable at contact, defend your men from enemy knights, who in this setting are ferocious fighters, and mentor your cadet to understand the good qualities of a military officer.

This has been a common tactic throughout history, and actually still persists throughout most of the world. In fact, this army does utilize units of knights. You're just not part of them, and they tend to be career military knights who just love to fight. The roster of this army utilizes knights in a spread out manner so that they can work in conjunection with each other to defend from a mass of knights and hold off long enough before a contingent of reinforcements can arrive on horseback in any place. It's more likely that many knights will be given to a captain to just run around wrecking shit while you babysit a platoon.

>Templars
They're known for using kukris, a common weapon in the East. The Templars have adopted the kukri for general purpose, and any Templar veteran in the Regiment can be identified by possession of a kurkri.

>Regiments
The Army is composed of some 20-30 standing regiments at minimal strength during peace. Those numbers boosts as tensions increase, although the Empire does only have so much money, so sometimes it doesn't even boost at all until it wants to go to war. Each Regiment gets their personnel from a specific Shire, while the nobility are just shuffled around in any unit. Each Regiment has their own seal and colors. The tricolor system for the sub-units and the shapes are all the same for each Regiment, each one being identified by, Regiment name first. For example, Harness Green Two is 2d Plt, 4th Co., 2nd Bn, Localorshire Regiment, while Whiskey Green Two is 2d Plt, 4th Co., 2nd Bn, Westershire Regiment.

You are all transferred to Third Company, a special declaration by the General to put all residents of the TeeGee part of the shire. Yellow Company is under the command of Captain Taron Gente, a knight from an obscure family. You have heard that he was a clerical student before he was summoned to serve as a senior officer for this war. He has no other military career to speak of.

The Ecclessiarchy has supplied a Bishop per Regiment. As the military arm of the Holy See, but actually a puppet of the Emperor, the Holy See has sanctioned each Campaign Regiment as a mobile diocese, and supplying each one with a Bishop to serve the spiritual needs of their soldiers.

This is your Bishop, the Reverend Nathaniel Hollerby, third son of the Baron Hollerby. You heard he had a distinguished career as a Cadet in the Army, but never once served after being knighted.

The State Religion's main feature is the idea that the world/humanity are in a punished state for defying God. They are waiting for God to return to correct their mistake. Here's the funny version: Imagine humanity as a toddler and God as a mother in a grocery store. Imagine the toddler refusing to leave the store unless they get candy. Now imagine the mother walking away like she doesn't care, but secretly hiding around a corner without the dumb kid knowing. Now the toddler is crying. Humanity is lost and afraid.

>I assume field commissions weren't a thing yet.
As it currently stands, the offers of knighthood are not uncommon, but they are often rejected. The culture of this empire has developed a stark contrast in the lives of the nobility and the common people, who both share similar wealth statuses not counting impoverished, just different career tracks. It's obvious this two caste system won't last long anymore and it's just an obsolete cultural barrier from a past era.

This section has been praised for being one of the stealthiest skirmisher sections, having been able to sneak up on enemy flanks in the night before the morning. You find out all they do is just sleep in the woods and do camping things during training, and then inexplicably improvise their tasks on the field to great success. They can't explain it, so they just sleep on it.

You are a sapper. Once used to sap enemy defenses, their role eventually expanded and specialized into employing advanced and dangerous weaponry, such as flamers, a two-man operated device requiring a pumper and a gunner. That's only one of their uses, other uses include setting off powder kegs, building specialized ordnance for engineers, and just being creepy about fire.

So what are we fighting for Sir?

Rolled 74 (1d100)

I made a system of guards for fantasy games that works pretty well at being an effective policing force while not being staffed enough to preclude roguery and skulldudgery.

Guards patrol in pairs of 2 randomly drawn from a squad on duty in the sector of the city.
Each squad has 10 members. 1 level 3 sergeant, 2 level 2 corporals, and 7 level 1 privates.
6 members of the squad have some form of shield/one-handed weapon. 4 members have a crossbow and reach weapon, usually with a bonus to disarm or trip. All members have a sap or light mace for less lethal takedowns. Anyone not level 1 has a set of manacles.
There is always some form of expert at the staging area that can process paperwork, check forgeries, repair dented equipment, and generally be a non-combatant. Minor magic users are there for 1 shift out of 3, but their schedule isn't stable by design and limited number.
All staging areas report to a central post that has another squad on rapid-response, but is generally there to function as a day off for the lucky squad to be assigned that day. These posts also have more numerous and skilled experts keeping thing running, and always have a minor magic user on hand, using mending or cure minor wounds. They, along with experts, are generally non-combative, but probably have at least one trick up their sleeves.

Generally speaking, they'd be 55ish government types per 5000ish civilians. A high ratio compared to today, but when the sewers might have kobolds in them, it pays to be prepared.

This is your Regimental leadership.
>General Byron, Baron of Pustee
A seasoned career military knight. General Byron volunteered to take command of the Regiment. He recently stepped down from a position within the Emperor's cabinet in order to personally lead the Regiment eastward.

>Cadet Robert, Earl-Expect Surny
The soon to be Earl Surny once knighted, Cadet Robert has volunteered to serve additional time in the Army as a cadet, earning him a top Squire position in the Regiment. Despite being of higher social and financial status than General Byron, as per military tradition, Robert is still treated beneath even a lowly knight of no rank. This is usually unacceptable outside of the military, but Robert takes it like a man because he's probably a masochist.

>SgtMaj Albert Shumate
A seasoned veteran, Albert Shumate was the son of a cobbler before enlisting in the Army. There are countless of baseless rumors of him murdering a whole squad or platoon of enemies in previous campaigns as a Private. His current job is pretty much to monitor the status of the men of the Regiment for the General, and is often on the move to each battalion before reporting back to the General.

Makes sense I guess, though it's more knights than one might expect - again, obviously it's your world so it can work how you like.

"Lancery" sounds a bit weird, but it's unique and interesting. A little surprised there's no Colour Sergeant, seeing as you've very much got Colours to protect.

>Marine Corps
I always like the Navy having their own mini-army (also the way that it's got its own integrated everything in the US is interesting), that's always been cool to me - in my slowly-coalescing ideas for fantasy militaries I'm certainly thinking at least one faction should do that, and go further even (for example the IJA army in WWII had their own ships, the interservice rivalry got that bad). Coming from a brit tradition I'd expand on stuff like the Naval Armoured Car Division and Landships - which were both land shit the navy got involved in. That and oddities like Machine Guns (Gatling, Maxim etc.) being "Artillery" for a while

Your conscription lasts at most 4 years, during that time you will be compensated with pay. While you will not receive any hard cash during your service, you will receive banknotes that you can use at mobile army stores. Your remaining cash will be awarded to you on your discharge. At its current state, the Empire has more of a rebelling nobility who perceive their rights and opportunities have been restricted to only state work. The common people, however, have been having a good time for the past 15 or so years, with the Emperor utilizing his army of knights to manage and administrate public services such as the postal system that grew out of a network of military communication outposts.

>So what is the structure of the support units?
The support units represent the second in command of their parent units. This is because it requires a competent commander that can oversee the battlefield and reassign the support sub-units where they are needed most. In practice and principle, command over the support unit falls to the parent Commander, but it's good to have an extra pair of competent eyes to monitor and distribute battlefield assets. Commanders of support units tend to be next in line for an appointment to a higher Executor position.

Some lore I haven't mentioned yet, because each Battalion is commanded by a Lieutenant General, the most senior LtGen is actually in command of the Support Battalion, also known as Jewel. Because it represents all the colors, the position of command is sometimes refered to as "Rainbow General".

Lancers don't get conscripted. You're a volunteer, and you've probably been in service for a while. Equipped with standard pattern full harness, your job is to be a shock unit, crashing into the enemy with great force to instill utter chaos. You are also trained in dismounted combat, which is equally as important to your profession, although you're most useful backed by lineguards when on foot.

Field medic eh? Well, I'm set.

>>78970657
I never meant for Sternies and Vanners to be any higher quality than Liners. They're just specialized with their own training. Their drills require Liners to work, because after all, every asset is in support of the Line. Think of them as Weapons Platoon in a USMC Line Company consisting of Mortarmen, Assaultmen, and Machinegunners (although IIRC, Assaultmen got cancelled and Mortars got moved to Company HQ).

I like to imagine during initial training, they grab all the grunts and make them charge at some kind of impact resistant device. Anybody who knocks it down gets put into Vanguard. I also like to imagine they select Sternguards for being able to resist shoving, like putting them in full harness and having a pony charge at them, anybody who gets knocked back the least gets put into the Stern.

>>78971502
No, but you're equipped with a field herbarlist's kit that includes pre-mixed herbal remedies, mostly disinfectants and coagulants. When a soldier goes down on the line, he will be pulled to the rear of the line by his buddies, and they'll do their best to keep him from dying like slapping a tourniquet on him or patching up a stab wound. Your job is to clean wounds and monitor casualties being extracted to the Battalion Aid Station where the Battalion Field Surgeon could put in work. Then you return to the line and continue after drop off. By the way, we have a low stock of herbs, so I hope you brought some of your own.

>>78964576

Were the cavalry detached from their own regiment to form this regiment's battalion?

>>78971972
Most likely, yes. They can also be made up of volunteer knights who already have the training, although those guys don't get paid to be lancers like commoners do.

>>78971972
Your unit's callsign would just be Harness Violet Arrow. Harness is the callsign of the Regiment, and there's only one Violet Arrow per Regiment, so you know it's going to be located in the Field Support Co. of 2nd Bn.

The names were designed to be distinctive and expedient.

How many men does a Regiment have?

>>78970469
Really like your art style. You practice or is it just what comes natural for you?

>>78972075
See >>78947109. This is the textbook Table of Organization and Equipment for a standard Campaign Regiment. There is not one regiment with full/complete and unaltered T/O. For example, a Regiment tasked with guarding a mountain range would be stacked with skirmisher platoons instead of skirmisher sections.

A Campaign Regiment is designed to be able to deter rebellions by having a combined arms force capable of dealing with any military threat. Regiments are often strung together during offensives, usually in threes (left, center, and right flanks), but on the defensive, they're scattered in defensive positions in foritifications, designed to hold out until neighboring Regiments arrive.

>>78972080
Practice, studying, and economizing. I don't really draw like this, but this is my "economic" style, I like draw little dudes because they're great for designing since I focus on distinct features. Also they're fast to produce.

>Anyways how well does your typical regiment perform in your world?
Very well for now. This level of military organization is rather innovative at the time, having been initially implemented in a much more primitive form 30 years ago. The advantage won't last too long when neighbors begin immitating it.

>This a high fatality kind of setting or do they have a pretty solid combat record?
I'm not sure what's the best word to describe it, but this isn't meant to be a gritty setting, just modernized. While it has late medieval/early renaissance tech, it does not live in a society like them, and is a lot more similar to Imperial China. That being said, a large majority of frontline combatants go home with at least all of their limbs in tact, maybe a stab wound in their arm or thigh.

Truly vanners are the chadliest chads. bustin skulls and crackin teeth.

>>78972786
They represent the premier elite conventional unit. They're a bit cocky, get paid more, and get the most freedom. Lancers are men who qualify as expert horse riders and proficient in foot combat, because yes, even Lancers can get told to dismount and cover a flank or help push a Line on foot.

The Emperor pushed for a change in military culture decades ago; Everything supports the Lineguard. Throughout the world's history, Heavy Cavalry used to be the boys who win wars, using the line as fodder or screen. In the Imperial Army, the Lineguard is the main effort, and everybody else is exploiting the battlespace to support them.

>>78973105
Vanners tend to have the highest casualty rate in a given field operation, but that's due to their given role in pushing. Don't worry too much about being sent in as fodder though, because if you are, so is the rest of the company.

Yes, Battalions often send out detachments of Companies who would conduct raid and ambushes on enemy movement. While the line is tightly packed by platoon, the battle space is often spread out in the field, allowing maneuverability. Each flank covers another in case the enemy gets any smart ideas.

>>78974300
>Dubs
You're the Banneret of Green Arrow, also the Echelon Leader of Silver Arrow. We don't expect you to loose any arrows, but you will monitor the battlefield and put your men where you think they will best help the Line, or do what the Captain tells you.

Longbows come with side sights and trajectory marks. Archers practice good form so that arrowdraws are consistent, all you gotta do is adjust elevation, which a sergeant will give corrections on since you won't even see where your arrow will land in battle.

>Pic related
Some designs for a seax to illustrate this army's evolution. It currently produces and issues the 3rd which is widespread. Most of your fathers have a Gen 2, when they were replaced with Gen 3s they took the Gen 2s home and now there are Gen 2 Seaxes everywhere at home. The Gen 1's are rare and will probably become collector items in 500 years once the internet is invented.

There's an Army Sword but those are issued to Corporals and above.

Commanders are encouraged to take the initiative on the field. A seasoned and experienced lieutenant will know what opportunities to take and what to avoid. Your commanding officer may give you other directives, though a common role is to prod around the battlefield to keep the enemy on their toes, striking multiple locations at once to fool the enemy, sticking in the rear because you're being prepared for a planned push. Outside of a battle, don't expect much raiding. You can't just up and decide to ride your boys out while garrisoning, although if you wanna do some training, go let the Captain know.

After mustering, the Regiment is now complete at full strength and ready to march to the Holy Temple. Before you do, the Emperor William III Wester has saw fit to visit every regiment in order to remind you of your committment of faith as a member of Clessendom, a universal jursidiction incorporating all individuals of the faith (You).

You all meet on a field in standard formation, the Emperor standing on a platform next to a sound amplifier. To his left, his personal squire, his grandson and heir-apparent; Conroy, Prince of Torland. You don't know much about him other than being the heir, and that he has a younger brother that's a bit of a faux pas to speak about. To the Emperor's right, Grand Marshal Wulfin Wrestly, uncle of the Earl Wrestly. He has been Grand Marshal for 16 years, and refuses to wear anything but standard issued equipment, which started a trend of the nobility saving their money to rent equipment.

"Gentlemen. You venture forth to meet our spiritual enemies; heathens who disrespect our revered Temple. But let it be known; God will not accept us if we treat them like monsters. Let us show them our hospitality when they choose to submit. But make no mistake; those who oppose us shall learn, and you are the stick."

After two months (and nearing the bump limit) in the Holy Land, victory is declared for Clessendom. The Regiment operated mostly in guerilla tactics in the mountainous jungle region with the help of the Templars to stall an army seven times its own size. Many retreats were made to pull back attachments to Uropoli, the Holy Temple. When the enemy finally arrived, they were low on supplies, and a one week battle between Harness with the Templars against the enemy occurred. A major offensive occurred on the fifth day lead by the Lancers decimated the enemy, and two days after prolonged battle the enemy withdrew.

None of you lost your lives or your limb, but a few of your comrades have. You might have a stab wound that has healed, or a visible scar somewhere on your face. On the final day, where you just stopped caring about shaving, you and some friends get together to pose with a captured minor enemy standard for an onsite artist is a quick sketcher as well as having a photographic memory. Pic related is a particular squad who didn't have their last 6 men at the end of the war, 2 who had lost a limb and are on their way home, 1 wounded during the week long battle and is recovering, and 3 who have lost their lives. Your group of comrades might look like this.

When you return home, you are welcomed in open arms by your communities. If your father was a war veteran, you can now relate to him. Many young maidens are looking for a fighting man to marry. Don't worry, the Emperor covers 2,000 Bits for the Bride Price to any veteran. The Emperor also offers three years of paid apprenticeship to many crafts, including gunsmithing, which the Emperor is very interested in at the moment. All taverns offer you free drinks for a while, and many of the older patrons ask you about your experience, for they have fought in the Last War 13 years before you. You are now a new generation of veterans, and the cultural history of the Holy War will remain in the memories of the Empire for decades to come, even theater performances will adapted stories based on it.
