Well, damn, that was some war… Sunday – The Battle of I-59 Letia and I trucked over to Raph’s house on Saturday night, where we promptly fell asleep on his couch, so that we could wake up, minus an hour’s sleep thanks to the vagaries of Daylight Saving Time, too bright and damn early to […]

How’d Gulf Wars go? Well… More later.
Spring Assessment of the Army 2011 Leave a comment
Gulf Wars looms large, and so Atlantia (or, at least, 10 members of its rapier army) gathered to train at the Elkinburg Castle on Saturday. First: what a miserable damn day to fight. If the weather had been any worse, if just one more drop had fallen, we’d probably have canceled the entire thing. It […]

Just got back from Gulf Wars, have a writeup of an event pre-Gulf Wars to finish up, and then the Gulf Wars writeups to do, and three or four topics for actual Weekly Warfare-type discussion. So, check this space in the near future (say, next two days)

I did not, for various reasons, get out and fight this week (I will tomorrow at Spring Assessment). And I can’t even think up a good question for the masses. So, here’s your topic: Cav Unit Tactics are neither Cavalry, nor Tactics. Discuss! (Or, what do you all want to see me blather on about, […]

The event season rolls on, 5 down, 9-12 to go, and I need to sleep and heal. But, I’m told that 30 is the new 25, which means I can keep bouncing along assured of my invincibility until such time as I realize that 30 is not the new 25 and is, in fact, the […]

Hey, look, actually writing one of these the week it happens. Will wonders never cease. Eh, they probably will. Don’t hold your breath on next week. Anyway… drills! Didn’t happen this week. They’re being moved to Sundays afternoon, starting this coming Sunday, so the only opportunity I had to put a sword in my hand […]

It’s the week of Ymir, which means accelerating towards ass-kickery. At Wednesday drills we did our usual footwork and advance-lunge, and started working the Priest Drill extra hard. Then we started in on the Drill of 5 Things, doing the pressure/no-pressure step until it was right. At Thursday practice, Roz showed up so I could […]

And that’s another event done, and on the one hand my body is screaming to decelerate and rest, but there’s another event this weekend, and another and another and Gulf Wars and another and, basically, my body gets to nut up. This is where Wistric is grumpy. I’m mostly over it by now, but… A […]

She Who Must Be Obeyed started her new job on Monday, which means economic stability and probably helped drop my blood pressure. Unfortunately, it’s second-shift, which means she’s not home until 11:30. Knock-on effect from that: I haven’t slept well all week, so I took Thursday (practice night) to nap, and it was oh so […]
