Uhm, with all due respect to my friends in the South I think Ironwyrm and I can do a thing or two to make sure we have superior archery and siege coordination.
I knew we were going to have problems when Galen opened a brothel in the Southern region. Especially with those 'ladies'.

>> I send this missive to all of the local Knights
>>Marshals in the Southern Region.
>>
>> About a year ago, Duke Kein MacEwan put forth a
>>call to the Barony of
>>Bryn Gwlad to form a war company with the express goal
>>of winning the King's
>>Battle Ribbon. Even though I live in Bjornsborg, it
>>was my great privilege to
>>serve with my Knight (Duke Kein) in this august
>>endeavor. We were successful,
>>and the King's Battle Ribbon now sits upon a Bryn
>>Gwlad spear.
>>At the event recently held in Bjornsborg, Duke Kein
>>called for the
>>formation of a Southern Army. Jarl Timo, Sir Kief, Sir
>>Emrys, and many other
>>hearty men came forth and pledged support for this
>>endeavor.
>>And so the Southern Army was born. Consider for a
>>moment the awesome
>>spectacle of our army. Across the bloody field, in
>>disciplined rank upon
>>rank, the war bands of Southern Ansteorra stands
>>arrayed against our old
>>adversary from the east. Bryn Gwlad formed to hold the
>>middle, Sir Corwin's
>>troop of fierce skirmishers ready at a moments notice
>>to crash upon an enemy
>>flank leaving many of them dead, whilst his unit cries
>>"Roahd!" and leaves
>>not one dead Ansteorran to succor their commander
>>after such losses. Men in
>>Black, that sable band ready to sally forth, with
>>grave determination, their
>>swords singing. Bjornsborg and Theuin, with engines of
>>death, wreaking havoc
>>in the back ranks so that even those who shy from our
>>fierce display may have
>>the honor to die to our army. Randall der Krieger
>>wading hip deep in Trimaran
>>blood. Guy le Strange leading a fierce unit of polemen
>>into the fray like so
>>many reapers among the wheat. The archers with deadly
>>flights release the
>>unwary from grim service.
>> I have asked you to consider this, and so you
>>have. Now consider where
>>you will stand in this battle array. At Hero of the
>>Temple and again on
>>Sunday at Steppes Warlord, Kein will call for the
>>mustering of the Southern
>>Army, with the express goal that when next the wolf
>>from three seas east of
>>our fair kingdom does again come forth out of its den,
>>then at the end of
>>that glorious day, the Southern Army will march home
>>under the shade of the
>>King's Battle Ribbon.
>> This will not happen by itself. Nor should we
>>all expect that four or
>>five months of light training will prepare us for this
>>feat. I tell you that
>>you marshals must rouse your fighting men and women to
>>begin now to train.
>>Answer Kein's call. Organize drill practices. Learn
>>how to stand in a wall so
>>that none can pass unscathed. Remember also that no
>>army ever walks alone.
>>Those we love and leave behind send more with us than
>>prayers. An army must
>>have clothes. It must have food and lodging. In Bryn
>>Gwlad, we also carry the
>>banner of St. Joanna in remembrance of the great
>>service done us by long
>>hours and tedious needlework done by one of our own
>>ladies. Honor their
>>efforts, and let them feel that they stand the field
>>with you when you wear
>>surcoats they have made, or, weary from battle, you
>>sup at their table. Drill
>>for them, so that they also may take a share, and
>>rightfully, in the glory of
>>battles won.
>> It would not ordinarily fall to local marshals
>>to take on this task of
>>helping create this army, but I know that each of you
>>is capable of
>>motivating fighters in your local groups. Do this.
>>Make armor, and help
>>others do the same. Organize food plans and travel so
>>that more of you can
>>afford to go to war. Come to the mustering, and tell
>>your local people about
>>this. Even the fighters who cannot travel to war can
>>still help in training
>>the army. Everyone counts. Let everyone have a share
>>in this adventure. I
>>leave it to you to lead in forming units.
>> In
>>service to the Dream,
>>
>> Ysfael,
>> Southern
>>Region Knights Marshal
