A Parting Thought for Gulf War (fwd)

[Will Ritchie]

As the last of the lucky take off for Gulf War, I thought I'd cross-post
this excerpt from a discussion on KFB (killing from behind) from the
armored-combat mailing list.  Robin of Gilwell's stance is that even if
KFB were to be allowed at Gulf War ('s not), he would not do so.  In his
argument he also says something about the special kinship between these
two kingdoms; as I'm predicting a win for Ansteorra this year, I take
particular pleasure in it:

	Go to the Sable Raven; let Trimaris get you a beer (if the
bureaucrats don't squelch them); tell Duke Baldar you're an Ansteorran;
you may find yourself making a friend or two.  You may even find yourself
agreeing with Dom Robin.
