Century

A block of men, 10 wide and 10 deep, advanced down the street towards us shields raised. No way forwards and no way back, I could only hope there was a backdoor to one of these houses.

Structure

The centurion controls the century, with the 10 captains being in charge of their individual squads, each of 10 men including the captain.

Tactics

Centuries generally fight as cohesive units, using their co-ordination to their advantage. They will however often change their formation in order to fit the terrain, especially when fighting defensively.

Training

The training and experience of all Free Kingdoms troops varies wildly due to the rapid conscription and the war, however all soldiers are taught the basics of formation and how to use their weapons.

Logistics

Logistical Support

A century can support itself for a number of days, however a small logistical attaché can increase that time for as long as they can get rations. With carts to carry tents and materials for a camp, a Free Kingdoms century can set up and maintain a camp capable of housing them, although they would also need a blacksmith and fletcher to repair and replace damaged equipment.

Auxilia

Church of Fulgor priests and clerics are known to attach themselves to centuries if they are a need for it or grow attached to their members. This is welcomed by commanders, as many of these healers would not have otherwise joined the front lines.
