I retained my title of First Mercenary Captain (see letter) but had to start over…

	The ﬁrst people I met were playing with Boffer weapons (padded weapons, no armor needed) I started working with them with Shinai but they didn’t stay very long in the group. I was actively recruiting from SCA shinai ﬁghters which is where I met Brian Pickart, Lucas Guthrie and David Larsen, all my age. Soon after, a group from Saguaro High School and others started to bring their friends into the group. This is when I met the young Brian Wattiker/Moivar and Eric Bouigous/Eriker and Adam Laye/Nader, Justin Whitehead/Yertle, there were others (see photo) but I cannot recall all of their names. They resonated with the message of our mercenary group called at that time “The Merc’s” that we could get paid for ﬁghting in the crown wars (In Galandor, if you wanted to be the King you had to raise an army to ﬁght in a Crown War). We quickly grew into the largest organized ﬁghting group in Galandor. Our ﬁrst payment for a Crown War were semi-precious gems.

			<u>'''''What's in a name?'''''</u>

			Sometime in late 1989 or early 1990 we voted on a new name and “The Dragoons” won out. Many of these groups of friends had their own households with names like “House Chimera” and “The Death Jesters” but I brought them all under the umbrella of “The Dragoons” and was their ﬁrst Mercenary Captain. I published a newsletter (see 4th edition April 1990) which references that the “Dragoons” were about to ofﬁcially be recognized by Galandor and all household leaders were to submit to me household folders with the names of their households, a list of members with names, ranks (within the Galandorian system) phone numbers and if they had paid their group dues. Also a uniquely mercenary related document is referenced, “signed contracts” which bound the households to “The Dragoons”.

	~~<u>On the ﬁeld:</u>~~ Our signature strategy was from a 1979 movie I had seen called “Zulu Dawn” called the “Buffalo Horns” (Zulu: impondo zenkomo) basically, the center of the line would engage the enemy, pinning them, and the horns/ﬂanks would pull out the sides and envelope the main body.

	From the beginning we fought as a unit, disparate households uniting under one banner and in one company. My step-mother fashioned us red sashes and a red and black cloth banner with the international mercenary symbol on it, hung above our camp and at the Ramada at Reid Park. When I called for a meeting, half the ﬁghters on the ﬁeld would drain into our ramada much to the consternation of the “Royal faction”.

	“Royal faction and Mercenary Scum” : Many of the founders of Galandor installed themselves in positions of power from the outset, so they were de-facto royalty and saw themselves above us scrappy, rabble rousers and started to call us “Mercenary Scum”.		“Royal faction and Mercenary Scum” : Many of the founders of Galandor installed themselves in positions of power from the outset, so they were de-facto royalty and saw themselves above us scrappy, rabble rousers and started to call us “Mercenary Scum”.

			As seen in the 4th Dragoon newsletter, we had a hierarchy (Order of Command) with the heads of the various households reporting to Captain Randal Salvatore’. The heads of the various households kept their members informed, and in attendance, they were also instructed to vote their conscience in matters regarding The Dragoons and accept no payment as far as the estates are concerned, in other words, no side deals, we negotiated as a unit. Recruitment was actively encouraged.

			Galandor ﬁelded an annual shield wall at the SCA Estrella War and hired us to support their wall with poles (this is referenced in the newsletter as we needed to vote on what our payment would be, Tabards or Banners), many of the “Royal faction” were older and had real careers so they were able to afford full armor, swords and shields, most of us could not, so we had to make it all ourselves, my friend Howard Noble had an armor shop so I started volunteering, in return he let me make a horrible lopsided helmet on his equipment. As recalled by Brian Pickart/Benedikt of Luzerne of these times: “I remember you doing marching drills”, “And one time you brought out a cheap helmet and promoted it in the hopes of getting us all in armor”. Apparently it worked. because soon after, we set a goal to get everyone armored so a makeshift armor making station and weekly training started at my residence at the time, up the street from Himmel Park. We hung 2 liter coke bottles on rope from a pole at various heights to practice engaging multiple targets while in a line. We marched in the alleyway doing drills and we made armor out of carpet and aluminum street signs. I negotiated with a place called “Hardcastle Armory” for a bulk deal on several great helm “kits’ (See photo) and lorica segmenta shoulders. We bought rattan in bulk to make our poles. But it wasn’t enough, we actually had to borrow $300 from my friend Jerome Scheuring/Conrad Francis Demaigne as he mentions in this letter from Oct 2002 “I further recall the placement of some three hundred thalers (corrupted to “dollars” in the uncouth New Amsterdam patois ) toward the underwriting of a certain mercenary venture; from which I proﬁted a certain rather odd level of booty: no gold, no gems, just an assortment of weaponry (bayonets), some of which continues to occupy a place in my collection”. .
