I was initially thinking that we would have to accommodate all the beastkin, including the nonfighting people. So, the news that only the fighters would come by is actually a good thing, even if it means having only three tribes taking the fight.
It's okay, though. Those warriors who'll join us are experienced fighters who never had the help of a system, so they don't have bad habits to get rid of.
They would also help train our troops in systemless melee combat, as that's a part of fighting that neither I nor Lovelace are that acquainted with. And that will widen up our scouting perspectives.
The numbers are small, but we aren't counting on the strength of numbers to begin with. The enemies have the advantage of the numbers and the system. We'll have mobility, surprise, and complete control over the supply lines.
