5. A really nice bottle of wine

From: General Mirk Headquarters 4th Army Dante’s Creek To: General Carriad Headquarters 5th Army Golding Dated: 25.02.2023 12:34 Delivered: 25.02.2023 12:46

My friend,

I have just received the latest reports from Ashakin. They are very encouraging. The Special division has taken several surrounding villages and are preparing to completely encircle the enemy inside the city. However casualties have been slightly higher than expected and Commander Reskin has asked for additional troops for the final offensive. My own forces are stretched too thin as it is, but headquarters has sent strict orders to provide as much support as humanly possible.

I would be willing to part with a 1964 Chateau Dartue in exchange for a battalion or two to shore up my left flank. And I will of course mention your sense of teamplay to the right ears.

If at all possible I would like one battalion as a strategic reserve stationed here in Dante’s Creek and another one patrolling the Fair Forest stationed in Woodshall. You’ll get them back within two months, safe and sound.

Your oldest friend and supporter

Greetings old friend,

Of course I will come to your aid in your hour of need. Unfortunately I can’t really spare any of my shock troops, I need them myself and they are too precious a resource for patrolling anyway. Not to mention the fact that I really don’t like the idea of letting them out of my personal oversight. I am sure you understand. But I have just received a big helping of new recruits. I didn’t get the chance to train them yet, but it’s not like that matters too much for the roles you want them for.

I’ll be sending you the full batches from Bearskan, Caren and Brightwood. Not quite two full battalions, but I am sure you will manage.

They should arrive in Dante’s Creek right about midday on 06.03.2023. And as a little extra present to make up for the shortfall, I officially reassigned them to 4th Army. They are now all yours. No need to give them back.

I remain your most faithful comrade in arms

General Carriad
