<br>
I'd like to talk about what we can do to encourage Combat Archery.<br>
<br>
We in recent years have come to gulf with fewer Archers than Trimaris,<br>
<br>
Add this to the big Morale hit the archers are taking with the new rule changes,<br>
<br>
And I'm afraid we're going to be in trouble.<br>
<br>
For those of you who didn't experience it a fresh at Gothic, being outnumbered<br>
<br>
By archers is a really unhappy place to be :). So I'd like to discuss what we can do<br>
<br>
To share that experience with our enemies instead of keeping it all to ourselves. :)<br>
<br>
Here are some of the ideas I've heard so far.<br>
<br>
- Start practicing with the archers included. Involve them in each maneuver.<br>
<br>
This is to help them feel more included and build esprit de corps..<br>
<br>
- Fundraisers for ammo upgrade costs.<br>
<br>
- Build archers into plans specifically, as at the ravine battle at gulf where they<br>
<br>
Were supposed to all attack a specific point just before we charged it.<br>
<br>
- Make sure not to schedule archer battles at Gulf at the same time as HW battles..<br>
<br>
(or so close there is no time to move from one to the other ie how it was last year.)<br>
<br>
Does anyone know who we should talk to about this one? Who's our liaison to the<br>
<br>
scheduling of Gulf?<br>
<br>
- Buy all our significant others a crossbow & armor for Christmas. ( :) )<br>
<br>
I know there are some folks who aren't the biggest fans of CA (although I'm a fan), and I ask please<br>
<br>
that we set that aside and support them for this Gulf War. It's a known fact that the enemy<br>
<br>
will have CA at Gulf, lets band together to make sure WE have more than the<br>
<br>
Enemy, so that they experience far more suckage than we do.<br>
<br>
Think of Archer Dominance, like Air Superiority in modern combat. If you have it, its gives you near total freedom<br>
<br>
To do what you want on the ground, and if you don't have it, you are strongly inhibited from doing what YOU<br>
<br>
Want to do on the ground. Do you want to be roaming the field hitting where you want, or do you want to be<br>
<br>
Huddled behind a shield waiting for a chance to do something?<br>
<br>
More archers = More fun for everyone (on our side :)).<br>
<br>
I'd like to set Archer dominance as one of our goals for next Gulfwar and the Gulfwar after,<br>
<br>
What do you think, how can we do it, and who's willing to step up to help organize and lead?<br>
<br>
Sir Kenneth has volunteered to step up as a Combat Archery Liason, to help drive this effort,<br>
<br>
But we need more than one man to make this happen.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
