Nobility concerned with the loss of privileges

---

Our policy of battlefield commissions is seriously concerning our nobles. They believe that just because a man shows some ability on the battlefield doesn't mean that he will be a good general. In fact it seems that life in the mess is becoming quite unbearable, as these new officers have no idea how a gentleman behaves. There are also rumors that the rank and file believe that a good leader ought to be better bred.

Regimental Spirit

---

Good foraging relies on the man being sent to forage to willingly make sacrifices to ensure that his comrades also receive their rations. He is required to walk great distances after a full day's march to bring food for his comrades. The stronger the bond between messmates, the further the forager will go and the better fed the army will be. The current war has created a strong spirit amongst the men and the foraging is going exceptionally well.
