Right...that's it...I think all consideration of 'resting' men and
equipement can be dropped if that's how you're going to behave.
That said, I'm hoping the R.B.R. can count on the 'Bond-uland' [Sue Ann ?],
along with Ross' mechanised forces, Paul's air/space-force and as much other
auxillary forces as we can put together. [I may even have to bring the
Bric-torian space force into battle, even though their equipement is
slightly antiquated.]
