[MR] The Great War Horn of the North is calling you

[guylestran at aol.com]

Duke Badouin, Dux, Commander of the Atlantian Northern Army (of 
Darkness) / K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Soldier) Army aka Grand Army of 
the Potomac (GAP) is blowing the Great War Horn of the North, calling 
all within the Northern Regions to his side, Artisans, Servants and 
Warriors, those of high rank or low, all will have a place by his side 
as he wields his Army to crush Atlantia’s foes.  Be those foes in the 
barbaric Southern climates along the Gulf or the more civilized lands 
to the North known as Pennsic they will be laid low by the forces he 
will bring to the field.  Baronial Cohorts and Separate Warbands should 
begin training/planning for these spring and summer offensives.

To that end, we are organizing the Northern Army.  If you have ever 
wanted to be a part of something greater than yourself, this is the 
time to do so.  We will have a place for everyone, both on and off the 
field to support this great project.  I have a staff to fill as his 
Praefectus Castrorum (Executive Officer), this staff will consist of a 
Recruitment Cell (bodies for all levels of the army from fighters of 
all sorts to support folk), Training Cell (getting us ready to take the 
field; planning practices, tactics, techniques and procedures), 
Logistics Cell (Keeping us going on the field and preparing for war 
supply wise) and Morale Cell (read Social/Party).  There will be a 
Princepales in charge of each cell (and cool roman names for each cell 
also).  Commands we need to fill are the Siege Coordinator, we 
mighthave one but I do not know who it is.  Gregor von Leipzig is our 
Archery Primus.

We will have three Liaisons to assist in the Organization of the 
different regions of the North.

Sir Tascius, Tribunus Angusticlavus:  Northern Cluster: Highland 
Foorde, Bright Hills, Lochmere, Wulfshaven, Sir Tascius will also most 
be our Mercenary Liason
Sir Theron,Tribunus Angusticlavus: Central Cluster: Dun Carraig, 
Storvik, Spiaggia Levantina, Blackspear
Baron Max, Tribunus Angusticlavus Southern Cluster: Ponte Alto, Roxbury 
Mill, Stierbach , Consortium.

I would like to talk to anyone at the Ponte Alto Baronial Investiture 
for any interested parties after the fighting is finished, or feel free 
to send me an email.  Please cross post to each of the Northern 
Baronies listed above.  At the very least I will take names to discuss 
and with his Grace.  I am sure his Grace has his own ideas for staff as 
well, I will merely be presenting him with options.

Short Term Goals- Gulf Wars under one Primus Pilus (commander), mid 
Termi Kings Assessment, Long Term is Pennsic.  We will be scheduling 
both inter baronial practices and Northern Army Practices, Hopefully we 
will also get some work against the Central and Southern Atlantian 
Army’s as well.

We have a yahoo group at GOPCom-subscribe at yahoogroups.com, if you are a 
current Baronial Coronet,  Baronial Commander or Warband Leader Please 
join, same if you are interested in being a part of the staff or 
helping the Army.

I remain,

Sir Guy, Praefectus Castrorum of the Great Northern Army of Darkness 
and servant of his Grace, Badouin, Dux
