<DIV><FONT size=4>Subject: [Ansteorra] Army Organization </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If you read no further, just take this- the Coastal Army is
still the Coastal Army. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In the wake of some administrative changes there have been
rumors of the Ansteorran Army reorganizing. What everyone will see is
pretty much the same setup we've had for the last few years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR>Coastal will continue to rally as a unified force under
Centurion Michael of Gravesend. You guys did a spectacular job holding the
center of the line in the ravine battle at Gulf War. I love being able to
just give Michael an objective, and despite being outnumbered Coastal
consistently pulls off the job. So I have no reason to want to end
that. I'd like to request that units which are primarily coastal to look
to Michael for the big game plan and help him achieve the region's objectives.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Southern will continue to report to Centurion Uther Blackthorne. The
discipline of the region, strong leadership, and heck, even the decent livery,
has allowed even the green troops to perform like double their number, and the
whole region can turn on a dime and hit hard. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Central will report into Centurion Fiacha the Blue. Now there's a lot
of individual prowess in Central, and that hasn't translated to the devastating
melee force it should. So I've asked Count Hrafn, Master Airaklee, and Sir
Louis to help herd those cats. You'll be greater death dealers if you're
not distracted by all the shiny helms you can swat at. Chiv and
centurions, please make an effort to check in with one of those guys so you know
the objectives for your region before each battle. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Northern's only change is that Centurion Evangelos now has a spiffy new
(and well deserved) white belt. You guys have insane skills, great
numbers, discipline, camaraderie, great archers, a growing siege corps, livery,
and a strong sense of melee tactics. If anyone wants to know how to do
melee well, look to the north. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Centurion Wayland will be Lt. General of Artillery and Archery. He'll
help us get our siege engines in the right places to be most effective before
battles and make sure our archers get the love they deserve. I don't
intend to strip archers out of established units. Everyone still
gets to fight with their friends because it's more fun and you're more effective
that way. I love having a 20ft spear backing me up when I need one, and I
think most of our pikemen agree. But if you're looking for advice on the
right vantage points, need authorizations, or ideas on how best to survive and
capture objectives, Wayland is your man. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So there you have it- mostly the same cast of characters in command again
this year. We'll even things up a bit to keep things fun for our friends
from Gleann Abhann, but I'd like regions to be kept together as much as possible
at Bordermarch Autumn Melees so we get more practice working together.
Give some thought to how you're going to get your siege equipment to Gulf War,
and start asking around for help if you need it. </DIV>
