Imperial army

Overview

Most Imperial armies have around five thousand fresh recruits in their ranks. They are large forces, supported by their own logistics with baggage trains, siege engines and foragers. They are therefore able to venture beyond the boundaries of the Empire and, so long as their casualties are low, remain fully capable despite being engaged in prolonged campaigns.

Military Units

Military Units throughout the Empire may be attached to an army to improve its fighting strength. Experienced and capable troops provide an advantage out of proportion to their numbers, adding the equivalent to 100 raw recruits to the strength of the army. This is done by the orders of the military unit’s commander.

National Breakdown

The number of armies varies by nation.

• The Marches and Dawn have three armies each.
• Urizen and The League have one army each.
• All other nations have two armies each.

The two Orc Imperial Armies are roughly half again the size of most Imperial armies, with around 7500 members in each.
