Minutes from Darkwell War 2004
Saturday 4:30 pm under the tree by the lake
Attendance:
Kolfinna kottr, Tomas mac Caoil, Athanaric Tervingi, Conrad Breakring,
Ingilborg Sigmundsdottir, Mora de Buchanan, Edward the Sinister,
Gregory Morgan, Rudolph Fekter, Patrick O'Malley.
General's Comments:
- At GWW, at the end of every battle unit commanders should check
in with Sir Patrick. Have your 2nd in command to prep your troops
while commanders hear the plans. Sir Patrick will give battle plans,
then unit commanders are to spread them to their troops.
- Wants to hold a Commander's Desert party at GWW, to get together
to discuss plans and all states of the army. Potentially will be
invite only.
- Number tracking. Very interested in knowing actual number of fighters
for battle strategies. Rumors have been circulating that a hard
number count will be imposed on groups that do not meet current
group requirements, this is NOT TRUE. He is well aware of the fact
that the war, economy & gas prices are heavily affecting people,
so this is not currently an issue. However we want good estimates
so we can beat our opponents.
- Wants to help develop the war units in Central LA and help those
armies grow. Will be planning on attending practices and encourage
all fighters interested to contact the General or Chief
of Staff.
Army:
- Command cords have been retired, as it was too confusing for many
people. Plans are in the works to make baldrics with one device
for those who issue commands on the field (i.e. Captain General
& Staff Colonels)
- Lady Mora and Lady Inga are now staff for the Caidan Combat Archery
Coordinator.
- Reorganization of army discussed again. Idea of splitting the
army into North, Central and South was brought up. If this were
to happen, brigades would still maintain within the regional sections.
Nothing decided, put off for further discussion from all parties.
- Discussed how to better get realistic numbers of fighters for
wars. One idea brought up was that every unit commander would have
to submit a form that listed the war, and the names of all fighters
who fought at that war along with the weapons those fighters used.
Theoretically this would be done for every war, however realistically
it would be done for GWW and Estrella.
Artillery:
- Javelins were a huge success at Darkwell. Looking forward to seeing
more of them on the field
Army Web Site:
- Want pictures of potential enemies units for web site. Already
have kingdom devices but want individual war groups devices and
photos.
- Praetorium Yahoo Group should be owned by Army Chief of Staff
- Web site changed address to http://www.sca-caid.org/army/
Other:
- Comic Con Demo went great. If 1/10th of the people who said they
would show up do, then easily 100 people will join the sca.
- West Caid War. Potential site is Live
Oak Park in Santa Barbara. Good location, has plenty of camping,
fighting fields and equestrian arena. More details to come.
