Steinr/Kelly, General for Mom's Army (edited by admin)
Without question, this was THE best Crown War, ever. And I've been to most of them. The attitudes on both sides were excellent, the fight was fair and the weather even cooperated.
Before the war started in earnest, King Angus knighted Critter before the assembled Fyrd and all acclaimed his ascendancy.
The order of battle was determined by rock, paper, scissors with the bridge battle first. Mom's army had a great mucking shield for the bridge, but the King's archers were not to be slowed down by such a trick and they made short order of the work there. The woods followed and while the contest was better, the outcome was the same with the King winning.
Following the war, the King proved that he is in fact a King's King by bestowing the title of Lady on Mom, much to everyone’s surprise and delight. Such a presentation is without precedence and sets the bar high for future contests. Truly Markland benefitted from this war, as Charlie set it up to do, with a good chunk of change in the bank for the organization.
Special thanks to Angus and his army, Mom and her army and to Lothar for being there to take monies and check memberships. We can all pat ourselves on the back for this one folks.
