Nizzonds Volunteer Privateers

A motley collection of cutthroats and scallywags (plus a few pressed landlubbers). Based out of Port Nizzonds, this band of misfits is comprised of four companies each built around a noted privateer (pirate?) captain. Led by Commadore Christopher "Crimson Chris" Guspatcho, the corps makes up in fighting spirit what it lacks in discipline (and hygiene).

This is the 5th of the regiments provided by the navy.

  1. Marines of a sort, then... Really 'of a sort'.

  2. The mildest manner of men that ever cut a throat or scuttled a ship. If an enemy sees them upon a field, they will quail in their boots. All is lost when Nizzond's Volunteers hove over the horizon. That stands to reason: they are onlyy to been seen when the pickin's is easy...

    The Archduke jests, of course. Such a unit adds colour and character to any army. Think of Trenck's Pandours in the service of the Holy Roman Empire...
