  1. Monte-Cristo warmly acknowledges this mark of friendship, and will express its gratitude in any appropriate manner: could Direktor Hermann Geldversteckt advance some suggestions?

    Looking forward to discover the Liebregt and Sturmgrenadierregtschwerstahlblitzenkruz in their new uniforms.

  2. Hmm, I wonder how many Monte Cristans are currently serving in the Direktorat's army...

  3. Well wonder no more Fitzy-B!
    Since the magnanimous announcement concerning voluntary service of a paltry 10 years in the Liebregt, the units numbers have doubled!

    The ranks include Batrachians, Soweiters, Kopf-Schlageners, Beersteiners, Melchestrians and Monte-Cristons, Livonians in refuge from their War of Succession and indeed even ex-Ordo Ecclesiarchs, just to name a few.

    And they ALL like it...
