Hey, I appreciate you projecting the family gems with the "added" protection Boss. But we don't have enough coinage for wenches, so let's get to work!
No one in FGM Company seems to have "Low T" problems, so wenches are right up there on the list of necessary "provisions".
Feminists everywhere love me.
Beth, my wife, burned a "Live, Laugh, Love" candle yesterday.
Today, I burn a "Live" for the destruction of our enemies, "Laugh" at their demise, and "Love" hearing the lamentations of their women candle.
What is best in life?

Ahh... the joys of just starting out with a new company seeing off a few wolves ... started this yesterday -- playing this Veteran combat, veteran economy and Iron Man -- no saving along the way, full hardcore.
(also involves a LOT of running away...LOL)
Dabbled with one of that setting over festive season ... basically had to rebuild my company three times and lost over 48 guys dead in 300 or so days of game time... brutal.
Edit:
Ha, three days later, a trip to the southern cities... and I have already had to replace two guys ... Bootie The Black and Dietmar the Dolorous having been gutted by bandit raiders...
At least we got a lucrative southern caravan escort job that went well -- no casualties and 1130 Gold earned -- drinks at the tavern!
(although a bit pissed I didn't get that pike in the loot)
The Southerners always give you a few extra guards to take along on the caravan mission -- that's very nice of them -- sometimes they even take the brunt of the fighting too ;-)

Iron Man mode? A man's game. I salute you, Sir! Soy Boys need not apply to your company.
Looking forward to your updates.
It seems that I have recently been arrears on pay, and, consequently, my men are starting to become discontent. I want you all to rest assured that pay, food, and whores will be forthcoming, in abundance.

Day 80 in game time... still playing this in Iron Man mode and my band is coming along nicely... we have the glint of chainmail and better shields, which is a sign of progress.
We have 14 men, 12 in the battle line and two reserves and we have a our rather cool looking battle standard.
Got two experienced archers and one surviving, experienced javelin guy (with a rookie replacement being trained up) -- always like to have at least two good javelin guys in the front row -- great for thinning out advancing enemy ranks.
It's been a tough road though ... 14 men have been lost along the way and any rookie's first 2 or 3 battles are harrowing and at times those early game, front row "arrow catchers" drop like flies.
The look of the band is a bit misleading ... as you retain better quality kit as you go along, but the quality level of the men doesn't quite match as you have to replace losses.
There's also been a weird shortage/absence of certain weapons 9either for sale or capture) -- have run into virtually no polearms and daggers, and the few enemies that had them that I took down, I wasn't able to loot them from them. The game algorithm does that sometimes... that, and early on the whole southern part of the map was swarming with goblins (hate those little fekkers!)

You know things are starting to look up when you start using raids on Orc camps as training missions
The result of a really bad run in (or should I say ambush) with 22 goblins -- couldn't retreat as 8 of those were Wolfriders ... and to top it all, the little bastards never seemed to run out of bloody poison arrows.
Fought my way out of it -- result: 4 dead brothers (including one veteran) and an injury list longer than my sword arm... sigh.
Screenshot below a couple of days after... have added a rookie spearman so long and one guy healed pretty quick.
My overall casualty list is 15 men lost under my command so far... 93 days in... Ironman mode is not for sissies.

Barry smash!
Barry bash!!
Go Barry Go!
I'm running a team here, a well oiled, lethal team. We are the Seal Team 6, the Sardaukar, of Battle Brothers. We will conquer all challenges, destroy all opponents, defeat all foes.
