The Red Warlock to all Warriors, Generals and would be conquerors:
It has come to our general's attention that certain recruiting options required troops of a certain experience level. As a peaceful kingdom, we have no real means to accomplish blooding in battle for the foreseeable future. So, we propose - wait for it - a tournament!
Open to all who can travel there, the idea would be to have forces of relatively equal size engage each other in a test of arms to improve the experience of their troops. Now it may not be a great idea to do this with a close neighbor since you might not want them to improve their military, so it would be wise to choose someone of some distance - as long as the trip is not too arduous.
Another idea is that the Sacred Order or Ranger could host a martial tournament (it would be fitting for them to do so given their martial traditions) and they are centrally located as well.
But for the first attempt, I invite the Nomad who has offered to provide food for my troops in any case, to host a tournament where a 5 unit sized Nomad division can engage in war games against a similar sized Warlock group. Obviously, distance is no great barrier for the Warlock!
Possible ground rules for a tourney contest:
1) No magic. Wizards must issue Invisible Self order. No Wands of Lightning, etc.
2) Only standard attack orders. No flanking, night attack or other order intended to increase damage on retreat.
3) Highly encouraged to avoid use of magic weapons which increase chances of killing opposing leaders. Magic armor is permitted.
4) The contest should take place in terrain which is either advantaged for both combatants or neither.
If the Nomad declines this offer, any others will be accepted.
Let the games begin!!
