To address/clarify a couple other things Iona brought up:
You are going to have to acquire it somehow. You could go on a mission to steal some. You could try to make a deal with another faction to trade goods or services for it. If you had a Favor with one of your patrons, you could have used it for this. You don't have any Favors however.Iona wrote:“Where will we get adequate equipment for the recruits?
You have zero Favors to call on. Meaning, you will have to do this yourselves. By that I mean to say, use your resources, personnel, and assets. Your people would be training these recruits. If you had a Favor to call in, I'd allow you to use instead of Dominion.Iona wrote:And just as importantly who will train such large numbers? Could Colonel Costa and her direct subordinates be approached to do so? What if she refuses?”
You have trained soldiers that can provide instruction. You have Tilly Sander, a veteran soldier, and soon John Steiner, an elite caliber soldier. Diego has military training. This is something you can do without leaning on outsiders, and will be reflected by the fact you have to spend Dominion on this.
