Having purchased a commission that arms and outfits a fighting force that one is also entitled to lead is an entirely positive consequence. It not only bolsters the forces of the empire but also allows one to enjoy the status that it confers. The opportunity to distinguish oneself on the battlefield is merely an unexpected bonus opportunity.
Entirely possible! We will see if the additional military support provided by the fine members of the Leviathan Club is sufficient to repel or at least blunt the attempted annexation of Weatherby by New Prussia. Exciting times!
