<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Greetings unto my fellow Chirurgeons,</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It all started out as a joke 2 Gulf Wars Ago when I was a
wee Apprentice, (I’m sorry, I meant a humble All Day Slave, or ADS). But,
since we, the Honorable (?) Chirurgeons of Ansteorra, have been always ready
since Round Table in January, and our most esteemed and highly respected leader
( I mean Arkell, not Gerita people) and seen fit (or was having a fit) to
appoint me the task of furthering instilling great fear into the enemies of our
Greatest of Kingdoms, which is Ansteorra. Do hereby send forth this missive
unto all that I might be able to see if we can accomplish such a feat that no
one can surpass.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>And exactly what am I talking about? I am glad you have
asked. I was tasked with the formation (and appointed the Captain. Somebody please
check Arell’s mental status please) the AACC for next Gulf War in 2005.
The AACC (Ansteorran Attack Chirurgeon Company) would be the terror of the
battlefield across the Knowne World. I am currently in the beginning process
and would like to know how many people (even if you are not planning or do not
even know if you will be attending Gulf War next year) are interested in
fighting as a unit in both the Heavy and Rapier battles. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I believe that this would be an impressive sight, as the
Army of Ansteorra marches off to do battle against the Evil Trimarians, that
the AACC follow behind them and present ourselves unto His Majesty and his general
as a new war company for the Kingdom. After if any soldier can kill our
enemies, just how much more effective could we be, as our knowledge of where to
strike where it can kill is that much higher. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>It has been proposed that a shield wall of Fleams, with Fleam
tipped spears and possible accompained by archers (for those long range
injection) be a good start but what be your thoughs on the matter.</span></font></p>
