I'm not so sure - the more options the Lunars have, the more likely they are to succeed during a major assault. The lack of military options helps to justify all the other more rpg friendly ideas they try, like assassins and saboteurs, etc.

I'm happy to change the date and the references to "first night assault" It's hardly integral. The reason for me writing this piece is threefold: 1./ Because it's fun.
2./ To get me thinking about Whitewall and to start the old creative juices flowing.
3./ To offer the players in my campaign (most of which are not Glorantha savvy beyond what they have learned in our game) a vision of the future to whet their appetites. They will read this and (hopefully) think "We have a destiny."
