Julian, are you trying to apply physics to Glorantha *again*?

If I were the narrator, probably would suggest that some groups of warriors (percentage is subjective) leave the army to attend the ceremonies.
When the british invaded Zululand, they took conscious advantage from the fact that the enemy warriors were supposed to be returned to the fields to make the annual reaping, IIRC.
It's a good dramatic approach not to ignore the
importance of ceremonial scheduling even during a
campaign and have it impact on the outcome of events,
IMO.
Ciao,
Gian
