New martial unit forming

[galenbv at ix.netcom.com]

Greetings!

Much has been said on these various lists, especially the armored lists, 
about the need for more unit training and tactics.  Hear, Hear, oh yeah, 
right on and all of that stuff.  Unfortunately, all I have heard so far is 
people saying "we need to do this...we need to do that...". No one is saying 
"Here is what needs doing, here is how and where we are doing it, and here's 
how you can join/help(ok, maybe some of you are doing it, but you know who 
you are and can ignore this).  The time for action is not next year as the 
war approaches, the time for action is _now_.

So, in accordance with my own diatribbe, I wish to place before you a new 
unit I am forming, which has been in the planning stages since before the 
war.  As some of you may know, I am a Knight of the Teutonic Order (we can 
discuss proper nomenclature later).  As such I am interested in leading a 
Teutonic unit onto the Gulf War field next year, with appropriate pomp, 
circumstance, heraldry and kick-butt attitude, to fight in the service of 
our good Kingdom of Ansteorra.  We intend to camp together, train together, 
follow a chain of command, feast and revel together, and dress to 
kill...literally. 

I call upon all of you with German personas of any period, or with non-
german personas who might have been found fighting in a Teutonic unit, to 
contact me at this e-mail address, and to spread the word to those who are 
not net connected.  I want to have a roster of interested parties as soon as 
possible, so we can begin planning on training dates, events we can attend 
as a cohesive unit, and other just plain fun.  It is my hope that this will 
grow into a permanent unit to provide melee training and support for the 
army of Ansteorra, not only at Gulf Wars, but now and into the future.

Join me...let's do it!
