Also I just realized, people have talked about how we have generals but this is Stirland where the Marshal himself ony has base martial of ten, can we realy be sure any of the remaining generals is actualy better than us ?

Our fighting-with-swords Martial is pretty good. But, strip away the skill-bonuses like fitness, pistol and Greatsword that don't help in commanding armies, we're down to what, 11? If a few other non-leadership traits don't apply either, we drop even further.
My idea of 'taking command' is just to spread the word to organise more of a hunt for Kasmir.

Unless they also have a sword wound in their guts, yes we can be.

Guys we basically only have 6 or 7 martial when not being a beatstick so I really implore you guys to not have an emotional Mathilde try and lead an entire army.

I don't see any reason why blooded, interrogator, or practical would lose effectiveness on a large scale, so that puts us at 10, and brave is debatable for 11.
That said, the points about the wound and our mental state are good.

I think the only plan that included the Jade Order was my Mostly Wizards plan. I'm pretty sure @veekie mentioned them, but ended up voting for something else instead of making his own vote like usual.
[X] Somewhere in that town-turned-battlefield is Brother Kasmir. Leave Van Hal's side. Find him. Sigmar will heal Van Hal.
I feel like Mathilde's been optimistic and reckless enough in the past for this to be the most in-character option. I don't particularly care if the Drakenhof attack is successful, and that's the only other thing I can think of that might influence my decision.

[X] The plan exists independently of Van Hal; if necessary, it will outlive him. Take command.

@BoneyM I suppose it's too much to hope Mathilde sees Orc Hewer lying around the tent?
The run-off-heedlessly option voters should perhaps account for the fact that we're currently unarmed, I feel.

Well, Light Wizards can apparantly heal well enough (with a Simple healing spell which heals a bit, or a Fiendishly Complex one that heals everything @Blonddude42), if we can spot him against the sea of bleached bones. The main difference with Jades might be how many we had, and where they'd be deployed, but we're well into the realm of maybes by this point. Aside from that, looking at the spell list, I'm not sure why the Light wizards were such a popular choice.

I'm pretty sure +1 from Greatsword and Pistol still apply: we know enough about swords and firearms to be able to predict how use relevant troops in large-scale battle. Still, wounds are wounds.

He isn't bleeding. Stomach wounds usually kill through sepsis (or by damaging aorta, but he isn't bleeding, so that's not it), it is not a very fast process. He isn't to going to die right now, so odds are that Kasmir or Light wizard can heal him after the battle (or even earlier, we sent for the wizard already), so trying to find Kasmir is dangerous and likely pointless. Mathilde is no great general even while healthy, so taking command in her state isn't a great idea either. Dhar is non-option and suicide-by-skeletons is like finding Kasmir only with more risk and no gain. That leaves standing by his side and guarding him from infiltrators. It is unlikely that there would be infiltrators, but at least that option will not get us killed.
One thing I want to know is this: where was fucking Markus and his fucking Greatswords? Guarding Elector count is their job description, but somehow when he needed it, the only human with greatsword in sight was Mathilde.

If Mathilde doesn't automatically use Shadowsteed, she has a good enough reason we shouldn't force her to.

The first challenge is that we have no idea where Kasmir is, other than 'probably in the town'.
I was a little disappointed we didn't do our Shadow-Centaur-Rider thing into battle. It's got a nice Martial buff, too.
Oh, I think Mathilde will have words for Marcus and the Greatswords.

That's not something we need to point out, as has been mentioned repeatedly. We don't need to micromanage everything Mathilde does.
