Army:
-Current Army structure is not working. Suggested possible courses

Perhaps split army into 3 groups (North, Central, South). All ideas
held for further discussion.

Kingdom event. Prado is good possible site. Schedule for Sunday
and not against Kingdom Calendar.
-Balin's List of Problems; 1) Lack of Spears, should be 2 shields
for every spear (best possible scenario would be 40-50% spears
in army). Promote spears within units. Estimated 1/5 spears to
shields, at best. 2) Lack of army participation by Chivalry.
-Wish to promote Warband tourneys for greater war and melee participation.
-Chief of Staff should get a count from units of their actual number
attendance at wars.

to grow.
