[Steppes] Steppes fighter levy:

[Zach]

Sounds like fun.  I would love to get involved in a war unit.  A good shield wall that has trained together and knows how to be a shield wall can be a scary thing.  I love team work like this and I am officially Chiming in!

As Captain of the Baronial Guard I would love to ask all members of the
guard to step forward and at this time and chime in if they wish to be a
part of this.

If I am free to take the time off to travel to war I will go. I as Captain
will train and join this Levy.

I do not have the authority to head this Levy but am willing to fulfill
any role that is needed from water lacky to gopher to polearmsmen. Point
me the direction you need me! :)
