Army building and warfare

Many people have asked how I will run the armies and warfare. As for building of units, players will detail what type of armor and weapons that the company will carry. I will then label the unit with a type such as Archers, Infantry, Irregulars, Longbowmen, Mounted Knights, Light Cavarlyt, etc. Simple forces such as archers and infantry will take 3 monthes (1 domain turn) to muster and train. More complicated units will take more time and be more costly. For complicated units like Knights and Longbowmen, the cost can be breaken up over the time it takes to build them. Basically to find out the cost add up one soldier's cost and multiply by 200 and subtract 25% for Infantry. The discount assumes that the player has an armory, which must be built. The discount will also vary depending on what type of unit you are building (artillerists don't gain a discount). You can build companies of less than 200 but you won't gain as much of a discount.
As for warfare, maps will be provided of areas that battles occur in. Players will decide how many soldiers are where each turn. Strategy will allow players to rearrange them if an enemy declares war on their province. Battles will be fought out using the a modified version of the birthright skirmish rules found in the back of the BR rulebook. This makes the whole battle system stress down to the soldier instead of company scale but makes more sense I think. Losses up to 33% in one company during one domain turn are replaced automatically the next time the unit's maintence is paid. More than that and the replacements must be reacquired instead.
