| The DM will need to declare the loadouts of hired men-at-arms who are hired on a daily basis. DMG 16 is a great page for this. We typically assign one of these loadouts to all men-at-arms in a group. In cases where multiple loadouts are listed, such as heavy infantry, we roll randomly. It is recommended that the DM add variation in weapons and armor from time-to-time. | The DM will need to declare the loadouts of hired men-at-arms who are hired on a daily basis.

| + | * This range is halved if the leader is in melee. | ||
| + | * Personnel beyond the range of command control will not respond to commands from leaders. | ||
| + | * Personnel engaged in melee will only respond to commands on a d6 roll of 1-4. This can be checked each round. Roll for each unit of troops, rather than each individual troop. | ||
| + | * Monsters, animals, and barbaric warriors such as berserkers and cavemen do not suffer from a lack of command control. | ||
