I have it on good authority that this is not yet the complete list of ALL of 
the fighting that will occur at War.  There are negotiations underway to have 
several "sponsored" battles.  When I hear more, I will pass it along.

Actually, I believe that when the final tally is made, there will be as much 
fighting this year as last, perhaps even more!

There is one other piece of information that should be distributed.  The 
schedule that was posted to the Rose did not contain one extremely important 
note which appears at the bottom of MY copy of the schedule.  To wit:

"By the way there will be no war points this year for Pennsic."
