Good apology!  Explains without excusing, clearly expressing what was
done wrong and why and how, clearly accepts responsibility.  A+ for
the apology.  But as a rule of thumb, you'll never ever get _anywhere_ 
you want to be in the SCA with the word "nazi" nor with any derivative.

For the record, the Arthurian Company was soundly defeated by 
Mooneschadowe's
Liondragon Guard, which had the advantages of superior numbers (including
more archers) and more decisive leadership (I say that as part of the 
defeated leadership).  We enjoyed the advantage of more "big gun" 
fighters, 
and a higher average level of skill among our troops;  which just goes to 
show that discipline and numbers will defeat individual excellence.  Our 
opponents conducted themselves in a chivalrous, honorable and 
sportsmanlike 
fashion before, during and after the battle, and I would cheerfully face 
them again or, preferably, fight beside them again as I did briefly at 
Gulf 
Wars VI.

Centurion Treschen von Asselyn was their commander for two years, but 
now they are commanded by Baroness (soon to be Mistress) Gunhilda
Amberstar, who ably led them against us at Three Kings.  Gee, Hengist,
if we'd'a had you, we coulda done better against 'em.  Not to mention
against Trimaris next spring.
