Being a lazy sod I find the practice a necessary evil, of course, maybe if I did more of it
the practice would be less grueling.

So far I have thought more about the kingdom and the barony doing well, heck I have trouble 
imagining myself surviving all the battles.

The friendship battle in this year's Gulf War when I found myself alone and had to scream out
Ansteorra and listen for "Trimaris" to find allies.  It made everything seem more 'real', somehow
less like mere playacting.
Also, forming a shield wall with people I've never fought with and actually keeping the wall 
together was gratifying - felt like I'd actually learned something from the drilling etc.
