The Peripatetic and Mendicant Liberation Army or PMAS (Περιπλανώμενος και Μαντικός Απελευθερωτικός Στρατός), formerly the titular 2nd Brigade of the Constancian Liberation Army, is a militant group in nominal allegiance to the Free State of Constancia, a Euran liberation movement whose activities are directed against the Imperial State of Constancia and the Raspur Pact.
Doctrine
Dissatisfied with the failures of the earlier insurgency, which saw the forces of the democratic resistance hemmed into a dwindling portion of Razjania by Operation Paramount (1698 AN) and Operation Landslide (1706 AN – 1708 AN), the PMAS opted for a dual-track strategy of maintaining small and dispersed fighting bands in the countryside whilst focusing upon training cadres of mendicant preachers who can be surreptitiously introduced into government-held population centres, there to propagate the democratic movement by gaining converts in the households of regime members. By first turning the kuls, then the servants, the children, and then finally the women of the household, the mendicant campaign seeks to either subvert regime officials to their cause or else compromise them and gain access to useful intelligence thereby.
Organisation
Membership
The State Protection Agency estimated the strength of the PMAS to be less than three thousand men and women under arms at the time of its splitting away from the Constancian Liberation Army, with a low level of confidence being assigned to a figure of 2,314 "active hostiles".
