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

[William Black Dragon]

I'm going to have to agree with Eadric here I think you're far too 
little and too late.  Your archery commander should have been 
named long ago, perhaps right after last Gulf War.  

Weeks before the event is not enough time for that person to 
establish themselves nor help recruit, train & prepare our kingdom's 
combat archers for the task ahead.  

There was three more paragraphs of ranting over the short coming 
of command & crowns concerning our combat archers that followed, 
however I've deleted that and shall just keep it to myself.  

Let's paraphrase it this way, ya had all night but ya farted around, 
now its five minutes before closing time an you're looking for a date.  
You're going to find one, but it won't be
 pretty!

Respectfully,

Ironwyrm

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.

        Caladin,  

        

It's Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair, Baron of Namron (the spellings 

give me problems as well.)

        

Baron Michel mac Donnchaid our current kingdom missile
marshal 

(and royal huntsman at the time) was our archery commander for 

last year.  He came down with a upper respiratory infection just prior 

to the event and was unable to attend.  

        

I'm not sure but I think HL Jean Paul de Clairmont was still archery 

commander prior to Michel. (Eadric should know, I'd been unable to 

attend GW in three years) 

        

I was archery commander for three years prior to JP and before me 

Countess Octavia was our archery commander for at least two years.  

I do not recall whom was archery commander prior to Octavia, but 

that takes us back about eight years, I hope that information helps 

some.  

        

Regards,
