Latest from the line

M-Sgt. Doddsy Carries the Day

Friends of liberty, the returns are in. Between the 5th to the 11th of October, the soldiers of the 43c put 371 of the enemy in the dirt, and every man who stood in the line can take a share of the credit.

Top honours go to M-Sgt. Doddsy of the Grenadiers, with 73 to his name. The officers nodded in quiet approval, which, from them, is as good as a parade.

Hats off as well to Sgt. Revert (50), CSM. Mikey SpiderWebs (31), and Cpl. Needlestack (28), who each did their duty and then some.

M-Sgt. Doddsy put the week into words in the War Journal: “We marched into the night singing songs. 50 men marched 3 were left still obeying commands like good soldiers guiding each other like brothers.”

We turned out for 6 battles on the tracked servers, among them 7.Fuss | Event 1, NACE | Event 2, and 38th x 43c | Friday Skirm Event.
