[BU] - Bundschuh

[Quigs]

First, back off some on the combat. Students, intellectuals, etc., are in the business of persuasion, first and foremost. Approach RM's and talk! Argue with them. Make them justify their own loyalties, as you are demonstrating yours. Attempt to sway them to your side - as a small faction, you could use the support! (You might get players who fly RM make other characters to fly with you...)

Then do the same with traders, independents, etc. Do what the faction you envision would do in real life. Propaganda isn't an excuse for fighting; it is part of the struggle itself, and used well, can achieve your stated ends often in a more cost-effective manner.

There are two layers of Bundschuh; the politicians and the fighters. Bundschuh activists in Rhineland have splintered off the same way the Green Party in Bretonia spawned a militant faction (Gaians). There are definitely Bunds who are working to gain popular support, but those are the guys living on New Berlin who work within the system to affect change. By the time someone steps foot on Bruchsal they've become a little more extreme in their methods. Think Sinn Fein vs IRA.

As for someone else talking about all the missions being vs cops... yeah it seems that way most of the time. Probably 1 in 20 missions offered is Military and 1 in 50 is Daumann or Kruger. It looks very bad when a government uses it's army against it's own people, and Rhineland has already had one government toppled by rebelion in recent history. If the police are the organization charged with fighting the Bundschuh, it makes sense the (militant) Bundschuh spend most of their time fighting the police.
