Ready to march ...

continued from the previous post ...

 Hofler had moved the camp to a nearby farm, getting it properly laid out in a field with some open ground nearby which could be used to exercise the troops..

 The men were drilled in platoons,

 and were given plenty of firing practice too

 General Waldebeck dropped by for an informal inspection ...

Waldebeck: Fine looking fellows, you've got them in good shape

Hofler: thank you Sir

Waldebeck: Well I think they are ready for action, get them up to Hofheim and join the Freikorps 

Hofler: Yes sir, we will leave as soon as possible ....

---oXo---

Meanwhile in Saxe-Jarlsberg events are unfolding. The Herzog is in discussion with Count Pottsendorf...

Herzog: I want Hofheim re-taken, then we will hold all the main routes into the Hoflandt.

Pottsendorf: The army is still weak but I believe is it is feasible

Herzog: Make the preparations

Pottsendorf: Yes Sire, I will march when all is ready ....
