I put mine on the web, though they're not as nicely organized, you'll have to click through them. Most contain Atlantians in the forefront.

I would work up a picture page, but don't have time this evening. Sorry!

Also, those are the small versions of the pictures. If you see something you want a copy of, and want a bigger, better resolution copy of, let me know and I'll email you the pic.

Enjoy!

I've got some pics from the Youth Fort Battle. You know they put together a petition to get youth combat as a war point next year. That would be cool.

Good Lord I hope not. Last thing we need is putting pressure on the kids of that winning is a point and they really need to win. Let them be kids and have fun fighting. Let them learn the honor, Chivalry, and joy of the fight without the pressures from the outside that one must win.

On the Youth war point, perhaps there is a middle ground. Award a war point to the side that fields the most youth fighters. Then even up the sides and let 'em have it out with no pressure. I agree that the pressure to win might be too much for the blow-calling ability of some kids. Some days it gets to be too much for the adults.

Hmm, that's a good point I had not thought about. At first I was pleased as it adds a level of legitamacy to the youth combat that I thought the kids would enjoy - they really "count" now instead of being just a fringe activity.

But you may be right - that is a lot of pressure to put on them.

Youth Marshal's do very active marhaling......because of this I don't think we need to worry so much about calibration. The pressure to win should not really be any more than found in other team spiorts.
