Rowan's Riders Chapter Two

Preparing for Battle

Every Elite group has a standard to bear in mind. Ours is to be be about quality, not quantity, to value troop strength and cohesion over troop numbers. Cavalry are valuble, both on the battlefield and in the literal sense of the word. They are expensive to hire and more costly to maintain than normal troops. That is why our normal goal is so narrow. One Division or One Full Division at or above 500 Combat Strength has been proven to last longer, fight harder, and suffer less casualties. At times, we will come across an opportunity to raid enemy lands, and then perhaps one could set their new goal to a Battalion or even a Legion of Cavalry! Other times, we may be hard-pressed at the front-lines and needed quickly. In that case, our new goal would be to recruit and get to the field, sometimes with less troops than we would like.

• less Cavalry - A Patrol Group
• 15 Cavalry - A Regular Patrol
• 20 Cavalry - A Platoon
• 25 Cavalry - A Division
• 30 Cavalry - A Full Division
• 35 Cavalry - A Regiment
• 40 Cavalry - A Battalion
• more Cavalry - A Legion

These are the recommended amount of Paraphernalia per unit, though I do encourage the purchase of extra banners.

• A Patrol(20)
  • 2 Scouts, 1 Healer, 1 Banner

• A Platoon(30)
  • 3 Scouts, 1-2 Healer, 1 Banner

• A Legion(40)
  • 3-4 Scouts, 2 Healer, 2 Banner
