Title: Report: Training with the Hospitallers - Late Sunday Eve, 16/01/05 Post by: Gregor Eason on January 19, 2005, 04:07:09 am (http://www.sugeworld.com/eason/eason-slave.jpg)
Commander Eason writes another report... This eve, the Cove Militia attended a training session coordinated by Sir Kaelith, First Knight of the Knights Hospitallers. The training took place directly after the Bagwar event, and many of the Covians were weary; but spirits were kept high, as Recruit Jackhera Orange summoned a portal which spared the tired guardsmen from marching the long distance to Fort Vesparicia. Upon arrival, the Militia met with the legendary Sir Kaelith and his Knights Hospitallers.

The party marched into Vesper, to outside the Champions of Light hall, where the training would take place. There, Sir Kaelith addressed the Militia and Hospitallers; who both lent keen ear to what the battle hardened Knight had to say. Sir Kaelith spoke of the importance of formations, and the decisive moments of battle,which he had learnt through his combat experience from the many campaigns that he had fought.

The words of the veteran Knight were inspiring to say the least; and the hearts of the Covians began to lift as Sir Kaelith spoke of his great victories in past conflicts, including one against the might of Trinsic, and the Kaldorians (a recent enemy of Cove). Sir Kaelith placed down his victory to effective tactics, and utilising decisive moments when they came along. He went on to clearly explain these tactics, and then saw the theory go into practice with a sparring session between the Militia and the Hospitallers. The exact details of these tactics shall nay be written here, as this Board is public to all citizens of Britannia (and "our" enemies). However, if ye are in the Militia then ye shall soon find yourself mastering these essential squad combat components.

(http://www.sugeworld.com/eason/sundayeve-training4.jpg) The order is sounded to break formation, and charge. Many thanks to Sir Kaelith for organising this excellent training session. I know for a fact that everyone learnt something new and effective; I plan to see these tactics form an intergral part of the Cove Militia.
