Duchy Army Organisation- Part One.

The infantry come from from each of the six Herrengard or Manors which make up the Duchy. A number of farms or craft /trade businesses,depending upon which Herrengard they are in , are grouped together to form a Grupp. Each Grupp must supply a soldier-maintaining him in peacetime and replacing him if he deserts,dies or is wounded.
Each regiment comes from a separate Herrengard. Half of the regiment trains at a time whilst the other half works at their own personal trades. The cycle for rotation is one Lunar month, after which they change over. When the Duchy is on a war footing or during manoeuvres ( for example the twice yearly Wappenschafts ) the whole regiment is called up.
The Herrengard "Lord of the Manor" retainers and wealthier Townsfolk provide the Cavalry.The Artillery are provided from the Firework/Gunpowder Communities.
