The men you had captured weren’t as numerous as you’d have liked, but they did give you something else as booty besides their weapons- their uniforms. Intelligence Department operatives seized on this chance, and distributed them to some select groups of Irregulars you had in Tolvidaria. Utilizing these disguises, they could enact chaos while seemingly being aligned with the Duke, and nothing good could come of either public trust in the Duke, or the Duke’s trust in his Household troops. Yet there was another move that was incredibly devious, that apparently your cousin Antonia had a hand in organizing, along with a few of her friends in the department.
The Duke Di Interres, in a hurry to collect what manpower he could, was not being entirely choosy in who volunteered or not. Taking anybody and without being able to vet everybody, an idea had been put forth to place some volunteers into his ranks…though they were from your territory, and from your spare manpower of Leagues. Combined with Irregular impersonators, an entire company of your Revolutionary League were now being drilled into shape as Household Militia.
You’d have to send your thanks to the Duke for his generosity. And perhaps give Antonia a few days off to visit a beach resort for her idea, even if she’d done administrative sleight of hand to use manpower in a way you hadn’t necessarily approved of.
The complete strategic picture wasn’t available to you quite yet, as the halfway point of September passed on by. It would be ready soon, assuredly. Your Intelligence Department projected that, in October, you’d be aware of the Duke’s plans before they were finished being made. For now though, you didn’t know much more than you already did. It was likely that the Duke didn’t know very well how his plans would shake out, either.
For now, though, there was a state of quiet. Everybody getting ready for what would come next- likely come the turn of the next month, and Autumn…
>Sit back and wait. There wasn’t much you could do but dig in without knowing more, anyways…
>Reach out for aid. Especially when all you could be certain of was escalation. (To who and for what?)
>Sitting still wasn’t doing you any favors. Make a probing action- try and draw the Duke out for another battle, anything to keep him on the edge, even if it was taking a risk on your part.
>Other?
Also-
>Other turn actions? (Including the 2d6 Legion Roll)
