I shall read later, however I am curious as towards how many shall be in this Lost "Battalion."

1915622 I really, really hope I got it right this time. I went back to change a lot of it because I used the wrong number of soldiers under a captain's command. It's 160 now, and that should be correct. Please let me know if I'm wrong before I make a tit out of myself :rainbowkiss: Also, updates should be once a week. If I'm a good pony and keep to my schedule, that is.

In total, a Battalion should be of 500 to 600 strong.
In which a Captain commands anywhere from 100 to 200 soldiers.
Well, that's according to my CO and this nice little American site.
Not very aware of non-American sizes I'm afraid :applejackunsure:

P.S. yay!

1915653 Right. Well, seeing as most high-ranking officers and almost all soldiers are remaining behind to organise the Empire's defences, the battalion's strength would have been lowered to allow for a sizeable resistance within the city. Sapphire's battalion make up the majority of the expedition, due to the fact that it's primarily a military endeavour. That's what I was aiming for, a weakened battalion with several peripheral detachments accompanying them.

If all else fails, it's magic :rainbowkiss:

1915668 And an entirely different world, and likely military mind-set, and doctrine. I'd warrant that you have quite a bit of "playroom" :moustache:

1915678 That's what I'm counting on! :raritywink:

1915780 Part of my quest to write a story in every genre. Might as well nail two birds with one stone.

1915823 O...kay. Thank you for that insightful comment, I guess.

Putting sex and/or gore into a story "just 'cause" is very bad reasoning, ya know.

1915837 There's a difference between putting them into a story "just 'cause" and wanting to write those genres. I decided my next story would have those tags, and so it has them. I've got around 15k of this written already, and I've got the story planned from start to finish. I'm not using these tags "just 'cause". Seeing as this is a military story involving a large number of battles, the gore tag is warranted. Again, because I'm basing part of the story off ancient Inuit rituals, the sex tag is warranted.

If you reckon after all the time I spent telling people not to use those tags "just 'cause", that I would then do that in my own story, you're sorely mistaken.

Might wanna look over the implications of this statement again:

Might as well nail two birds with one stone.

Makes it seem like you were using 'em "just 'cause"

1915870 I apologise for not making sure my wording was watertight. Well, you win. Congratulations. Now, I really must head off and do anything that isn't debating the wording of one of my comments with you. Y'know, I'm so glad I decided not to join WRITE.

Ye've done an' written well.
Seriously, fun reading this is.

1915913 Cheers! Well, it certainly picks up in the next few chapters. I hope I can keep you entertained!

Finally, it's published! Time to read it once again.

I can assure you I will be leaving a like, favorite, and a comment. Keep up the good work

Sadistic gore or light gore

1918286 Gore that would be seen in battle. It won't be excessive, but some of the battle scenes might get a bit bloody.

I'm glad I didn't ignore this story when it turned up on my notifications.

Also, my favourites somehow didn't receive this.

this reminds me of sabaton you know the title?
