We can't make it to the next gathering but I will say this, I was observing the battle field like I always do, analyzing and calculating the outcome. One key point was not fighting as a unit, it was messy. Regardless of how people feel about each other, they need to fight together because if one side of the line falls, the rest will. I'm much stronger if the people to my sides are up and not bleeding out. We need to punch that point home. When you rally the troops next gathering, push that hard. They MUST understand that. I remember in Ashbury, fighting along side Duke Frost, the whole town became a better, more cohesive fighting force, annihilating its opponents because, we fought as one.
The turning point of the past battle was when the front line turned around and ran. Not retreated but, full out ran. That can not happen because think of it from a numbers stand point, you went from 50 people t0 35 if the 15 in the front booked it, not only that but your supporters that we in the middle and the back are now up there, where they don't belong because they can't survive it.
That's my advice.
Fight as one and don't run away.
