IC: Tasad listened to Veleraen's responses with intrest. It told him quite a bit about the situation at hand and what to expect. And since it appeared that they were going to be thrown into war soon he figured he should get a dialed in as he could as quickly as he could.
When Veleraen finshed Tasad growled," I'll make due with what is available sir, and see what I can come up with." With a smile he added," Without stealing of course. The different gear and training would be nice but are not essential. As for the lead, well, rocks are overly abundant and packs can be filled."
Tasad looked at his commander and growled," I'll get to training my men right away sir, but I would appreciate it if you could bring me up to speed on our current situation. I don't want to take up much of your time and there are really only two things I need to know right now. The first is how do you intend to deploy the heavy infantry? Will we be the first into battle or be held in reserve? The second is how long do you think we will have before we engage the enemy? If I can get at least a week I can have my company ready for whatever is thrown at them. Not to mention I could get them their mock battle and quite possibly have them equipped with gladius short swords."
Tasad fell silent, awaiting his commanders response. He could tell the giant was busy and didn't want to take up much of his time. Tasad had eras of experience and could take care of his company well enough but information was what he needed now and Veleraen was the only one who had it.
