SgtMaj. Doddsy Carries the Day

Let it be told in every tavern from Boston to Charleston: the Continental Line was not idle this week. We sent 535 of the enemy home early, and did it in good order.

Top honours go to SgtMaj. Doddsy of the Grenadiers, with 120 to his name. The officers nodded in quiet approval, which, from them, is as good as a parade.

Not far behind: 2Lt. Mikus Webicus (103), Cpl. DairyEmp (85), and M-Sgt. STAR WARS (67). The printer only wishes he had room for every name.

We turned out for 8 battles on the tracked servers, among them 7.Fuss | Event 1, 1DR Linebattle Server, and Blood & Black Powder Campaign.
