[MR] Siege to be included at St. Aiden's Melee College

[Jonathas]

Greetings,

The first event of the season to set up and allow Siege to be included in a
few of the day's melees is St. Aiden's Melee College on May 9th.  I hope
that this is not the earliest opportunity, just the first come forward in
allowing Atlantia's budding new Artillery Corp to train.

For those who have been reluctant to take up arms against Atlantia's foes,
siege is a great way to directly help those on the front line while limiting
the risk of getting swung at yourself. Last year at Pennsic where we had to
contract out artillery support many of our finest fighters took fire from
those who were supposed to be "supporting" them, as they say "Friendly Fire
Ain't!"

In true Atlantian fashion I hope to train our Artillery Corps to the highest
standards, and with the help of our borthers and sisters of the Combat
Archer's, that our front lines my find a dazed and confused foe before them
(don't worry we'll leave plenty of targets for the front lines to swing at
too!).

I will be teaching both the Siege MIT and Siege Crew classes in the morning,
followed by some hands on training and authorizations, followed by some time
included in the days melee's.  So if you have considered putting on armor,
please consider joining the Artillery Corps.

Also please consider joining the Atlantian Siege Guild list for further
discussions at:
