o command an army requires the courage to send soldiers to what may be their deaths without doubt or hesitation. The armies of the Empire are led by warriors who have been trained to direct their forces as effortlessly as a swordsman wields a blade.

The Empire is a dangerous land, with marauding Beastmen, Orc tribes or even rival nobles pillaging its towns and slaughtering its people. The Elector Counts must fight such foes, though in practice it is unfeasible for them to command every force that must be despatched. Often command is delegated to a trusted soldier considered to be an honourable leader of Men, and this officer will lead the province's forces in battle.

These officers vary greatly in rank, depending on the size of the force they lead, and can be known as captains, marshals, generals or simply commanders. Regardless of their station, they will be tried and tested veterans of many years who understand the craft of soldiering better than anyone, having spent most of their lives fighting in defence of their homeland.

You may include a General of the Empire in your Empire army as a Lords choice, and a Captain of the Empire as a Heroes choice.
