You're welcome.
Here's an idea: What if, at some point during the RP, a nation breaks out into civil war? Just kinda throwing it around, not expectig this to be taken seriously.

That's weird. You think that the Northwest, Greater London and Belfast would be claimed, because of the infrastructure and natural advantages that they have, but I'd be cool with accepting them as "grey areas" Perhaps they're undecided fighting zones as well?
Also: Who's up for stationing themselves in Britain? I'd be happy to send the Enniskillen Dragoons overseas if any Nordics/Frenchmen want to pick a fight (:Atheris wrote:It's just like that because that's land that Britannia hasn't reclaimed yet; methinks it's a relatively new empire.
It's mainly because they haven't been reclaimed by the Empire yet. Britannia, until now, has been harassed by Nordic and Iberians, which prevented their growth.

Also, if I may make a suggestion, it would make sense to have the Slavic Empire allied with Ruthenia, as the two are both Slavic nations threatened by the Nords, Mamluks and Iberians.

Yeah, the warning about the broadsword was just to warn those people who never take into account the drawbacks of their weapon. No, we aren’t using any specific fighting mechanic Nova; I actually enjoy reading your fight scenes. I’m sure you have run into the people who have their characters running at 25 mph but the character is carrying a minigun. That doesn’t make sense. The point of that warning was mainly realism, but both of you have made great posts so far. I like the way that this is turning out. About RPing the consequences of actions, you could, it is mainly up to you. Personally, I think that it does make sense that if your character is climbing out of a trench with a machine gun compared to a pistol, the character would have a greater chance of getting hit because he/she is slower with the extra weight. But it isn’t mandatory, because your character can always get lucky. I hope I made sense with that.

This is precisely why I chose not to have a pistol: Few junior NCOs back in WW1 actually had handguns, and I feel that having 2-3 magazines of extra ammunition, or even a speedloader for a revolver, aside from the handgun itself, would make my character unbearably slow and heavy. He's currently give or take 20 .303 bullets in his cavalry pouches, and a bayonet on his belt. And his rifle is a shorter version of the SMLE. All of these things make sense, because he's a cavalryman. That's why his movement in my posts, such as the dodge and stab thing that I had in my first post, eventually make sense.
I appreciate you not trying to overcomplicate the RP by adding in a combat system. I feel that we can all collectively try to stick to realism as much as necessary, and a fighting mechanism will probably not be necessary to produce quality posts/a good RP.

A pistol and ammo weighs no more than a hand grenade or to. Junior NCo's of the time didn't carry Handguns because that wasn't their role, both in society and on the battlefield. NCO's were still considered Enlisted and so therefor were expected to fight with a rifle in the line formation and then later on in more tactical formations (Since i'm assuming this RP is set in a technological and cultural equivalent of 1914 then most nations would still employ Line Formations). An officer, however, was expected to be more preoccupied with giving orders and directing troops than fighting, and so would not need a rifle but would still need a firearm to defend himself, hence a pistol. Additionally being Enlisted their social status was no better than the measly Private, compared to the Officers of whom many purchased their commissions making them often of the Social Elites. You'd never see a Duke or Prince carry a rifle, they carried pistols because they were considered more gentlemanly of their social status. The only real exception to this is either the Artillery, who were only to use a firearm in extreme cases, and the Cavalry who needed a smaller firearm to fire from horse back.

Lets say the 31st of January, maybe seven o clock. Around Buckinghamshire, on that southern border between the Britainian terratory and Iberian occupied land anyway.
