As I recall, Galloglaich were supposed to get 3 bullocks a quarter, one
being pay and the other 2 food!  My Scottish Socialist Republic ships
are
mid-green, with a 2-letter ID code derived from the name, and the larger
vessels bear the old Scottish naval ensign (yellow sun rising from a
blue
and white sea into a red sky).	I'm now scraping the cash together for a
GZG
order- probably ESU, definitely some GF-range!

KR mentioning asking Himself for his "papal blessing" made me think, how
about the Papal States as a minor player?  Probably a core of (crimson?)
FSE
ships, plus mercenaries from all over the place.  I'm thinking along the
lines of the splendidly terrible old BBC series "The Borgias"  (Remember
Adolfo Celi ploting to make people "deh Kink of Nipples"?).
