TEXT: IC Announcement posted all over the Gran March: 
   
  All able-bodied Gran March citizens who have mustered out of active service in the last two 
  years are hereby recalled to duty. You are to report to the commander of the Elector’s file nearest 
  you no later than the end of Fireseek in the year 595 for assignment. 
   
  If you are not able to serve for any reason you must still report and have your circumstances 
  evaluated. Anyone not reporting will be considered AWOL. 
   
  All current non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Gran March military now have their 
  current commitment extended by two years. All appeals will be handled by the office of the 
  Chancellor of the March, Nashyr Housemann. 
   
  Signed  
   
  His Most Resolute Magnitude, Commandant Watcher Magnus Vrianian, Fearless Iron Wolf 
   
  _____________________________________________________________________________ 
   
  OC what this means: 
   
  If your PC has mustered out in the last two years he is being recalled to the army. He returns as 
  the same rank he left. If you would prefer not to have your PC recalled to the military there are a 
  number of ways to stay out of the recall:  
   
  1. Any female who has children or is pregnant is excused. 
  2. Any male who is the sole provider for his family is excused. 
  3. Anyone working in an industry considered essential is excused (be reasonable). You must 
  have a craft or profession skill of 5 and be using that daily as your source of income. 
  Adventurer is not an essential industry. 
  4. You may use influence to avoid service. One influence point from any Elector excuses a 
  non-officer PC from duty. If you used the discharge available in “Operation Black 
  Knight” or “Harvest Time” then you are not recalled. You may also use three military 
  influence points to avoid the recall. 
  5. All officer PCs are recalled unless they expend four influence points from Electors or 
  eight military influence points, or exercised the “Operation Black Knight” or “Harvest 
  Time” option. 
  6. Current military PCs may also use the same measures to avoid having their service 
  extended. All expended influence should be noted on your first AR of the year and signed 
  by the DM. 
   
  Any PC recalled to service retains all benefits as if he had continued to play his PC as a military 
  PC. If the PC never actually served in the military “in game”, the PC must enter as if he is a new 
  PC entering the military as far as rewards and rank. 
   
   
  
  Military unit assignments are changed as follows: 
   
  Army of Retribution (CO: Knight Colonel of the HQ Unit, Dantes Yastisyn, temporary 
  commander) 7 Battles attached: 8th, 11th, 14th, 16th, 22nd, 25th, and 26th 
   
  Army of Judgment (CO: KFM Tark Oberlon) 7 Battles attached: 15th, 19th, 21st, 24th, 28th, 
  29th, and 30th. 
   
  1 Battle garrisoning Hookhill (1st) 
  1 Battle actively patrolling Hookhill and the surrounding area (2nd) 
  1 Battle garrisoning Shiboleth (17th) 
  1 Battle actively patrolling Shiboleth and the surrounding area (3rd) 
  1 Battle actively patrolling Hochoch and pacifying Arweth (13th) 
  1 Battle assigned to patrol each border (4th on the north, 5th on the west, 6th on the east, 7th on 
  the south) 
  1 Battle patrolling the road between Shiboleth and Hookhill (12th) 
  1 Battle patrolling the road between Buxton’s Crossing and Orlane (20th) 
  1 Battle assigned to the pacification of the Dim March (10th) 
  1 Battle assigned to the pacification of the Rush March (9th) 
  3 Battles assigned to provide combat support to the Principality of Ulek (18th, 23rd, 27th). 
   
  The 31st Battle is changed from provisional to complete active status. They will continue to 
  practice their new battle tactics and work to train other units. They are also responsible for 
  constructing (along with the engineer corps of the AoJ) and manning a new fort in Arweth, Fort 
  Triumph, on the edge of Arweth on the southern road between Hochoch and Pregmere.  They 
  will also assist the 13th in pacification Arweth. 
   
  The following units are moved from garrison duty to field duty status: The 2nd, 3rd, 13th.  
   
  Membership in the 1st Battle is still restricted and can only be gained through play. If your PC is 
  currently a member of the 1st through play of “Operation Black Knight” or “Harvest Time,” 
  please contact Ed Podsiad (edpodsiad@practiceworks.com) to ensure your PC is in the database 
  of the 1st. 
   
  All members of the military who have mustered out in the last two years are to report for active 
  duty, most of these troops will be assigned to the 17th, 12th, and 20th. The current active troopers 
  freed from duty will be used as follows: 
   
  1. Fill in for losses in the AoR, AoJ and the 6th Battle bringing all those units back to full 
  strength. 
  2. Fill two newly formed Battles, the 32nd and 33rd. The 32nd will move to assist in 
  pacification of the Rush March and patrolling the border with Keoland. The 33rd will 
  move to assist in patrolling the western border with Bissel and the northern Dim. 
   
  PCs may adjust their assignments as they see fit, using the rules in the Military General 
  Organization Meta-Org Document available on the YahooGroup. All of these changes take effect 
  
  on January 1, 2005. PCs starting play after this date should take this service requirement into 
  account in character design and background.
