Chirurgeons,</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><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 style='margin-left:.5in'><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>

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>
