On Land: The professional standing army of Pathe is largely an infantry force, mostly made up of long term recruits. These are supported by contingents of light and heavy cavalry.

Infantry Organisation: The organisation of the Infantry follows a typical pattern. The smallest unit of infantry is a file and consists of ten soldiers, nine file members and one file leader.

Five files make up a company, the senior file leader commanding the company as company commander.

Ten companies gathered together under a single command form a battalion. The Pathe battalion. For heavy infantry the battalion is considered the smallest deployable unit. Files, Companies and Battalions are all considered to be tactical formations.

Formations above the battalion level exist on a permanent basis. The smallest of these is a brigade consisting of two to six battalions, above that are armies which are mixed formations containing brigades of heavy infantry and supporting units of lighter infantry and the cavalry units.

Infantry Types: The infantry of Pathe consists principally of light and medium archers and medium and heavy infantry types.

The light and medium archers consist of unarmoured or lightly armoured troops typically armed with a shortbow and a quiver containing twenty arrows. For close in protection they carry a mix of daggers and shortswords. Most of these troops are raised from levies when needed but a number of professional units also exist.

The medium infantry, wears armour consisting of a leather jerkin, leather arm and leg greaves and a leather helm. They also carry a shield for additional protection. They are armed with spears and shortswords, which are supplemented by daggers. Their purpose is to harass and soften up opponants prior to the arrival of the heavy infantry.

Chariotry: Except for ceremonial occassions the chariot has fallen out of use in Pathe.

Cavalry: Pathe maintains two types of cavalry in its full time force. Light and Medium. These are organised similarly to the light infantry. The smallest tactical formation is a squadron which consists of two companies. Four such squadrons make a regiment, and two regiments a brigade. Light cavalry is made up of unarmoured riders on light/medium horse armed with shortbows and short spears/javelins. The medium cavalry is similarly equipped but the riders wear leather armour and carry a longer spear. (This is not used as a lance as the technique is not known)

Artillery: Pathe maintains a small cadre of professional engineers specialising in the construction and use of catapults and other seige equipment. The crews for such equipment is drawn from the infantry at need and is operated under the supervision of the cadre. The cadre itself is considered an elite force due to their seigecraft skills.

Naval Organisation: Six ports in Pathe provide harbours for the Pathe navy, these are Dolmask, Selde, Galreyn, Janakor,Jenalpor and Jhen Ka

The Ships: A number of different types of warship are operated by the navy, these can be broken down into a number of types as follows;

Dispatch Boats - These are about 60 feet long and are similar to the ancient Greek Pentakonter, they are fast and used for reconnaisance and the carrying of messages and intelligence. Currently the navy operates 7 reserve quality and 18 average quality dispatch boats.

Type V Triremes - These make up the bulk of Pathe's navy. They are all of Cataphract type consturction and are between 100 and 120 feet in length. The vessels are fully decked and two masted. Pathe operates 16 reserve quality and 38 average quality type V triremes.

Penteres - These make up the heavy battleships of the Pathe navy. As is typical of this type they are slow under oar but carry a lot of sail. Again they are of cataphract construction and fully decked. They are armed with two bow mounted light bolt throwers. Pathe operates 7 reserve quality and 9 average quality penteres.
