Yes, thank you. Yes, I'm aware of that, but Lansius took command with just months before winter and Korelia is so far from anywhere that he hardly any skilled blacksmith or carpenter. Indeed, there's a chapter about management of spies, but Lansius hasn't been able to recruit and train. All he got is Midlandians and those are easily found by the Lowlandians. I'll have your comments in my notes. Again, thank you!

two other things. I remember hearing that the ancient Romans had Pulleys Work in the form of cranes. which sounds like a good idea to use earth-moving equipment at work when you're making treanch. MC could always take the basic idea and apply it to the level of medieval technology. good for the work force. here is a video link about the basics. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M2w3NZzPwOM and lastly isn't there in "art of war" a section about spies and sabotors? MC know that book? applied it in reality reasently? and one its statement is "If you know the Enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory you gain you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." and the war is coming in the summer?

i remember seeing a documentary about where a man had lost his arm in blast below the elbow. he became a cobbler in a shoe factory and a fast one at that. with the help of a simple wooden cone resembling a hand, from the end of which three blunt iron nails of different lengths where his wrist eould have be. that wooden hand is attached to the hand with leather from the shoulder. the other end has a leather pad. completely possible with medieval technique. and the soldiers profession have habit of losing limbs. perhaps in the lowlands there are a lot of training targets among the population? village chiefs interested? more efficient workforce? perhaps skilled craftsmen? scribes? healers? merchants? members of a rich family? that survived the winter. so the longe person has 20-30cm from the shoulder down with an arm left to it can be atched from wood or leather. it will not be very advance without moving ball joints still its would be healp for the person himself. a lost the foot is significantly more hard To make and the wooden "pirate" foot has probably been developed in some form. so increasing it would be a good idea. speaking of first aid, he could arrange for eacth units a trusted person who is responsible for first aid supplies. someting like 1:30 per man? main caregiver who has two guardians and an assistant. could train men to protect and defend their own armies wounded in soliders carrys or dragin them to medics. whos a basic first aid kit would hige promille alcohol and clean rags for wound cleaning. needell and thread made of horse, pig, or goat hair or sinew to close a wound. teen a the alchemist's paste to prevent inflammation. a piece of thick leather to make a pressure bandage. clean gauze. and pre-sized splints for broken bones. and, a group of men to carry the injured in pairs to the first aid point/tent. at least two to stretcher bearers and two to protect with large shields. everyone would need light equipment, a jacket, a helmet, a dagger, maybe a short sword, slings (aren't shepherds efficient in using them?) so in an army of 200 men, approx. 17 men plus, a tent, so 20-22? does it take away a man's strength perhaps too much? set up an external support department? to mutch risk exposed? maybe when Hugo is at the manor, he organize exercises in empty halls or in the outdoor yard where stretcher bearers or first aid men try to reach the first aid point. at the same time, the people of the city try to slingshots to them.. with pig's bladders? a cloth bag full of corn/moss? the shield men try to ward off the hits and get to the point where their man sews, the meat of the newly cut open goat meat is tied together with the animal's sinew. smear In some heards. the meat will later be made into soup food. perhaps the orphan children also come to the manor from time to time to bring ready-made weapons and participate? maybe teach the whole army first aid 1st corse or someting smilar? oh and when you mention how the behavior of the MC soldiers is exceptional, maybe I'll try to get some traders or a gang boss, the lord sidekick or knights to start fights In town? or bride them? or have sence where they are i tavern or In market?
