[Ansteorra-archery] Ansteorra-archery Digest, Vol 45, Issue 3

[Eadric Anstapa]

I wasn't there last year so I can say who took the reins last year.  
Jean Paul de Calmont in 208 and the rest all sounds right.

Caladin, I think we are looking for our general to tell us who the 
Archer Captain will be, if there is to be one.

I say "if there is to be one"  because it has been my observation in the 
past that the Archery Captain hasn't been given much consideration or 
asked to do much.  I could be wrong, that is just my observation but I 
think that given the fact that our archers and general don't know who 
the person is I cant be too far wrong.

If our archers attach with regional units, or other units that will have 
commanders in the staff meeting, and if there is no Archer's Only 
battle, then is a separate archery Captain really needed?   Maybe that's 
what people are thinking.

Now I absolutely think there should be an archery captain  but I don't 
think it matters much once we get down to 25 days before war.  I think 
it is the rest of the year when an archery captain could do the most 
good in getting people prepared, authorized, organized, trained, and 
enthused about war.  Of course your plans for the war might absolutely 
depend on you having an archers captain to help achieve specific goals.
