The |BAAF|

[.shed]

Personally I am quite happy with the general structure of this idea - auxilliary forces in a time of total war are always good to be represented. However, I'd like to request that you try to RP as auxilliary-style forces, rather than as a seperate yet identical copy of the BAF. Emphasise support operations and raids against the enemy rather than patrolling, scanning or defending core systems.

With regard to the relationship with the BAF, consulting our previous command structure chart here: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/93/bret...forces.jpg I have put you optionally in the box labelled "volunteer forces" as ANZAC auxilliaries, meaning that you are seperate to the main BAF fleets, having your own unique command structure, but still fall broadly under the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Board (i.e. the war cabinet that votes on decisions affecting all of Bretonia) with regard to things like diplomacy and the laws of Bretonia, where we would expect you to follow our lead rather than go out making unilateral decisions of your own. This technically makes your Vice Admiral junior to a full Bretonian Admiral, though in practice as Admirals tend only to issue direct orders to their respective fleets which you are not part of, this would still mean you had independence of action. As for other ranks, whilst your forces would not directly be under the command of BAF officers, I would still expect a degree of cooperation with the BAF, given that you are supposed to be auxilliary forces supporting the regular BAF, so would respond to requests for assistance if asked. I would also expect BAF officers, particularly senior ones, to be treated with respect and politeness inRP, though I ask BAF officers to be polite and cooperative towards the BAAF as well.

As for other forces like MI5, whilst I would not say they had OORP authority over you, inRP I would still obviously expect some degree of sensible RP from your people when interacting with other senior Bretonian characters, though I am sure you are more than capable of dealing with that yourselves without the need for strict rules as to how to act.

I hope that you find these terms acceptable, and look forwards to working alongside you in game.

You've managed to explain this better then I have in all my previous posts. We agree and find this prefectly acceptable.

Though I'll have to point we're no longer calling ourselves ANZAC, instead our clever acronym (BAAF) now stands for Bretonian Armed Auxiliary Force.
