[Ponte Alto] Kindgom Crusades - Baron's Report

[guylestran at aol.com]

Thank you for your words your Excellency.? Ponte Alto showed in force and made a difference in all of the battles.? The force that showed at Crusades is something we can build on and show Atlantia that Ponte Alto will be the?new Cradle of Hero's that the Kingdom needs.

I was proud to be a part of the Northern Army and a part of it's command structure.? It was a pleasure to work with both Ponte Alto and House Black Spear (both of who showed in force).

Sir Guy

ps.

we need to build on our weapons depth.? We will need more spears, poles and esp archers (who can join the footmen when archery isn't allowed).? Archers of our very own under Baronial Command would have made a big help.? While we had archers as a part of the Northern Army they were more "free range types", they helped even the odds greatly in the battles they were in.? The Barony needs some of our own.

During the Knights Council the King wondered if it was possible to charter a bus from the North to take fighters down to Gulf Wars.? He would like to lead a great Atlantian Host to the south for this.? I wonder also if it would be possibe to fill a bus.? The fighting is normally from Tuesday-Saturday.

Greetings unto the Barony from Marcellus.

I would like to thank all those who ventured out into the heat and humidity to 
attend Kingdom Crusades this weekend.  The Black and Gold put on an impressive 
showing.  20 fighters on the armored field and 5 on the rapier field - truly 
this was a sight to make me proud.  I was particularly impressed with the 
prowess of the armored fighters during the Bridge Battle, which I could see from 
down on the rapier field.  Of course, I must remember not to stop and cheer in 
the middle of a melee - it tends to lead to annoying head shots.  :-)  Thanks 
again to all those who worked hard on preparing the tabards - they looked spiff!  
Unfortunately, I was unable to stay for court that evening, so if someone who 
was there could please let us know if any Pontoons were honored, I would be very 
grateful.

Special thanks to Sir Guy le Strange, Sir Thomas of Calais, and Lord Connor 
Sinclair for all their hard work in putting together such an awesome showing 
this weekend.  Congratulations are also due to Lord Geoffrey ap Clwydd, who has 
been named Northern Regional Commander for the Atlantian Rapier Army.

Yours in Service,

Marcellus Capoziello da Napoli
Baron of Ponte Alto
