DUTCH CALL TO ARMS

Zac Small – Dutch Commander 2026 Summer of Plunder
I Zac (the small) Small, after being dubiously selected (something to do with bribery involving tulips) pledge my sword and shot to the Dutch Republic. We fight for something greater than ourselves. Trade networks! Let the goods and gold flow!
Greetings all ye brave Orange fighters, and welcome to the good fight! I am your commander year, I usually go by Hamilton or Zac. I’ve been playing Blood And Plunder and Oak And Iron since about 2019 and am now thrilled to be representing the obviously best faction as its commander. Some of you may recognize me from last year where I served as our 2ic. This year, let us be ready to give the French and Spanish a good thrashing!


Charlton Mason – Dutch Second in Commander
I, Charlton “Snix” Mason, pledge my sword to the Dutch empire and her interests in the West Indies and New World.
If you’re reading this and are undecided as to your faction of choice, why side with the rest when you could work with the best? Join the Dutch today, for country, coin, and conquest!
Salutations!
I’m Charlton Mason, known as Snix around these waters.
After serving dutifully last year among our Orange brethren I was honored to be given the chance to act as second for my favorite faction. We’ve got a score to settle after last year’s contenders utilized their most lowbrow cunning to upset the honorae Dutch cause. I’ll do my best to serve and lead our forces to victory!
I’m an avid gamer and fan of wargaming; my degree is in game design. I’ve played Blood and Plunder for 2 years now and hope to get a few games of Port Royal in this summer as well! If you’re in Central Florida, look me up.
Oranje boven!
