Army of Burgundie: Difference between revisions

Creating numerous small units of men were specially selected and trained (often by local natives) to participate in {{wpl|sorties}} and {{wpl|razzia}} against much more numerous and fortified enemies became a fairly standard practice by [[Audonia]]n and [[Alshar]]i based [[Bergendii]] colonial governors. These were contemporaneously called the governor's land rovers ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: TerreRaubeuers), and were a purely offensive force. These units were never standardized but often shared common themes, they were meritocratic, not restricted by class, race, or creed. These units adopted the weapons of the area in which they operated so that resupply through raiding allowed for long-range raids deep into the enemies interior. Uniforms were eschewed in favor of traditional dress of the area of operations. Due to limitations of communications in the 17th-19th century, governors would give these units general objectives and targets and most importantly a timeframe, but leave it up to the leaders of the units to adjust to the realities on the ground. The timeframe became increasingly important as negotiations would be planned around these timeframes. Treaties or agreements would be stalled until the TerreRaubeuers would return and damage to a new alliance or arrangement after the fact wouldn't occur.
