Fair enough. Getting close to the big day, eh?
2 1/2 months!
Nervous and excited...
I dunno, RW, I think the lad might befoul himself if Baer showed up to instruct him on the deeds of the FC....
Looks like Lochlan can do a good job as well, assuming he can keep his knives in check.
Nice post Hawk. So can I assume that the floodgates opens after HG's post?
No. I'll open Act One with a post tomorrow, then it's all yours.Looks like Lochlan can do a good job as well, assuming he can keep his knives in check.

A beautiful rendition of Lucjan Sylfajenski. Just for the sake of having found it.

Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 180lbs
Description: Pale skinned with scraggy blond hair, he is strongly muscled and very agile.
Background: Born in Northumberland the bastard son of a Percy nobleman he was raised at Hulne Priory when his mother died in childbirth.
At the age of 12 he was taken is by a local family where he learnt to ride and shoot a bow, by the age of 18 he had taken part in many raids over the Scottish Border.
Arriving in France with the English forces he has served as both scout and archer before finding himself stranded in Brittany as the English forces retreated, having secured passage on a vessel leaving Avranches for England he now finds that the winds of fate have blown the ship into St. Malo.

Posted. Finally. It took me just a bit to get back into the swing of things.
That should do it. LD will post tomorrow and then we're off to the races.

Excellent as always HG I foresee a clash of intelligence btw F and A at some point They have ever been at odds
I was starting to wonder at Anette's ability to commit the FC until you made the twist at the end.. very nicely done ....

:rofl:
That is, so far, the highlight of my day
Well I gotta start somewhere, it is 7 o clock in the morning
Right, due to popular demand... or maybe not I will resurrect an old char as grunt.
Nikolai, ranger, woodsman, russian he is introduced in book VI There probably was a bio in the OOC, but I don't have a link to that thread

Will the OOB and such be released simultaneously as the opening of the thread? I'm crafting my first work at the moment, and don't want to go calling a grunt a Sergeant or vice-versa, and I expect Mihai to be very title-oriented. I've figured Kent for the Lieutenant in charge of the cavalry, but the rest could be who knows what.
I was intending to have my characters be new hands in the company, having joined before the scene in Ancona, but not by long. Will that be problematic?

In the FC, there is usually two types of Cavalry, Light and Heavy. Heavy Cavalry is led by Kent while Light is led by Chen Hui. But with Chen Hui off to China with the bulk of the Heavy and Light Cavalry ,it seemed to me that Kent is now taking charge of the remaining Light and Heavy Cavalry. Correct me if I am wrong LD.
Also, Von Streusser, from what I read of your character's profile, I gather they will probably be in the Light Cavalry. From what LD said, there are only 50 Light Cavalrymen. There are four Light Cavalry sergeants left over from the last Book that did not travel to China.
1) Lim Hui (My character)
2) Daniel O'Floinn (Phalanx's, currently NPC)
3) Jean d'Auxonne (Judas Maccabeus's, now NPC)
4) Abdul (J. Passepartout's)
The rest not listed should all be cavalry grunts. Hope this helps

No. As for officers, the key ones are covered in my upcoming post (except for Kent). For the infantry they are Lt. LeClerc, Sgt. Baer and Sgt. Dieter Pohlmann. For the scouts it is Lochlan and possibly Nikolai. The cavalry will arrive shortly (no pun intended). My post will have several hooks for the men already with the Company (ie: grab a seat) and a giant hook at the end for new hires.
Ah, 'Preview Reply'. What Redwolf said...

And by the way, Redwolf lists Abdul* as mine, but I intend to concentrate on my new character Lasko, so we will see what happens with the former.
*I am retroactively making his name grammatically correct as Abduh, in order to remove the dangling 'the', if no one minds. I made the character before I realised this.

I think you forgot about Lt Erik Jaegar.
No I didn't. He's just not at the 'table'. His role will come later, and will probably be reduced based on the current size of the force. We'll see.I think you forgot about Lt Erik Jaegar.
Anyway, post is going up. The doors are open. Take your time and don't feel rushed. The tavern sequence will last for a few days. My character, as well as a few others, will get around to everyone as soon as they can. Follow the lead of some of the veterans if you are unsure how to use a 'hook'. (note, a perfect hook was the end of The_Hawk's post and the beginning of HGs)
Read posts carefully, there might be something in one you can use.
Above all, have fun. Comments and questions are always welcome.
Ah it seems veld snuck a post by me, I guess I do really need to keep an eye out
I can already see all the different writing styles! Narratives, dialogue driven, description galore. This is what brings the FC to its zenith!
My post is up, hopefully it doesn't break any plots

My post is up. I've included as many as I could for the time being.
A collaborative AAR, you know, a AAR where more than one person contributes. You have something better to substitute it?That's pretty good. Er, what's a CollabAAR?
