Hughes convened his War Committee in the fall of 1796, to begin plans for the 1797 campaign season. Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson now had a regular counterpart, Brigadier Sir Julian Harris, who commanded the Carnish Regular Contingent of Crona (CRCC). During the fall committee meeting, the trio agreed on a course of action for the war's progression. Owing to their innate knowledge of the land, its people, and the enemy, Thompson's irregular militia forces would conduct the offensive action required to keep the A'awskans at bay, while Harris' regular troops and contingent of Royal Carnish Engineers improved fortifications and the road network in Colonial Arcerion. Thompson also requested the additional levy of two more companies of militia, to bring the total number of volunteer soldiers under his command to five companies in Kurst. However Hughes only had the weapons for a fourth company in Kurst, as Chester-on-Moore required supplies in an attempt to raise a second company, which as of yet was still undergoing training and drill. From the Colonial Ledger, or the official accounting of men, equipment, finances, and raw goods in the colony, the garrisons for the winter of 1796-1797 were as follows: | Hughes convened his War Committee in the fall of 1796, to begin plans for the 1797 campaign season.
