Information Thread for Potential New Dogs of War Units
The Dogs of War, also known as the Regiments of Renown is a polite term to describe Mercenaries from all across the known world. They are hired to fight against any if not all the nations of the Old World and beyond. They are drawn to places where fortunes can be won by ruthless adventures. From the lush jungles of the West to the misty isles of the East, and from the steamy swamplands of the South to the harsh snowlands of the north, the world is truly awash with rag-tag armies of sellswords who nurture the wishful dreams of loot, plunder and adventure.
