The Army
- There is no standing army. Instead, troops are mustered by Knights of the Ram when necessity demands.
- A maximum of 10 troops will be mustered for each sergeant
- Patrolmen (Regulars) usually serve as sergeants
- 640 Patrolmen (Regulars) can control 6,400 mustered troops
- Guardsmen can serve as sergeants in dire situations
- ~2,200 Guardsmen can control ~22,000 mustered troops
- If more troops are needed (e.g., County overrun), Knights directly control troops as required
- When mustered, the following uniforms and retainers apply:
- Infantryman
- Annual retainer: 12 gold dubloons
- Armor: Steel conical helmet; soft black leather armor; gauntlets and calf-high boots; knight’s shield bearing Greyhawk CoA; waist-length white tabard also bearing Greyhawk CoA
- Weapons: Halberd, short sword, dagger
- Archer
- Annual retainer: 12 gold dubloons
- Armor: As infantry, but no shield
- Weapons: Longbow, dagger
- Higher ranks are all Regulars (and sometimes Guardsmen), Defenders, or Knights
- Infantryman
Note: Barons, Baronets, and other persons of standing may retain at their own expense a guard force to protect their persons, families, and holdings, but are forbidden from permanently maintaining “sizeable” forces (though “sizeable” is not further defined).
