Theses figures represent my best guess estimates for troop strength for the Western Army at Aseria at the end of 1453: | Burcancy | 10,000 | | Sedonia | 3,600 | | Mir | 11,000 | | Parglug | 15,000 | | Total | 39,600 | I think that all Kaeir's troops were recalled to the Republic after 3rd Squadron's fiasco, but I could be wrong. If the Kaeiran survivors retreated to Aseria instead of Kaeir, then the total troop strength is more like 40,100. I'm also assuming that Burcancy hadn't yet fully mobilized & deployed its troops by the end of the year, and that Parglug has fully deployed, and taken losses. Now, estimated troop strength for mid-summer, 1454: | Burcancy | 30,000 | | Sedonia | 20,296 | | Mir | 11,000 | | Parglug | 15,000 | | Total | 75,296 | Assumptions: * Burcancy fully mobilizes and deploys its forces. Going by the military rules and the 1448 population, Burcancy's total army is about 36,000. * Sedonia successfully sends two legions of infantry and eight ala of cavalry overland through Tanimbar to reinforce II Legion, as well as sending 1,800 replacements for II Legion. (this will be one of my actions this turn) * Tanimbar does not send troops.
