Player's Officers

I have asked the players in my upcoming campaign roll some dice for me, which (unbeknownst to them) has generated the "commission dates" for their officers.

Murdock's officers shall be in purple; Alex's in red; Pete's in green; and mine in blue. First we have their Captains, each of whom will command the forces in one of the river districts:

• Capt. David McMurdock -- (Nov, 1868)
• Capt. Peter Webley-Grant -- (Nov, 1869)
• Capt. Alexander Davidson -- (Jan, 1870)
• Capt. Jeff Ellis -- (Jun, 1870)

(Note -- click on map for larger image; click twice for a much larger image.)

Thus, Murdock will have first choice of which river district he'd like to be in charge of . . . and he has chosen the Vile River System; Pete will have second choice . . . and has chosen the Tyger River System; Alex will police the Cango River System; and therefor I will find myself going up the Wazu.

The bold-faced "Leftenants" below, as the respective senior Lt. under their captains, will be tasked as their Captain's "Adjutant" (his second in command). The remaining three are to be assigned by their Captains (i. e., the players) to the following tasks:

• one is to command a platoon of Britons
• one is to command a platoon of Sepoys
• one is to establish and command a troop of Cavalry

Here are the Lieutenants in order of seniority:

• Lt. Alex Brightwater -- (Feb, 1871)
• Lt. Hugh Jeffers -- (Mar, 1871)
• Lt. Pete Kipling -- (Feb, 1872)
