SACKING OF WESSEX
The Viking longships were ghosting through a thick fog close to the shoreline along the Somerset Marshes. Guthrum could feel that this was as close to the Saxon Fort Athelney as he could get and still maintain the level of surprise he favored. On the cliff above the river stood the Monastery of Wiltshire and beyond it the settlement of Wiltshire in the Anglo Saxon county of Wessex. Guthrum intended to have a banquet that night drinking the fine mead made by the monks and eating the best food the area could provide. His entertainment would be watching his men slowly torture the inhabitants to death as a sacrifice to the Norse God Odinn in preparation for the major blood bath tomorrow as his men plunder Wiltshire. His was the first boats of a vast fleet of longships coming down the coast to take Wessex not merely to gather supplies but to overrun and colonize.
Alfred, brother of the king of Wessex, was by chance celebrating his 23rd birthday at Athelney that same morn. Little did he know that this casual visit was to set the stage for him to become the fist Anglo Saxon to attain the state of King of England and to be the only English King to ever carry the title of “the Great.” Obviously he wasn’t aware of Guthrum’s plans and certainly didn’t foresee himself in a years long conflict to decide the fate of his country. The call to arms sounded far too late to save the poor monks at Monastery Wiltshire but shield, sword, long box and spear all will play a part in the conflict to save Wessex from total collapse under the onslaught of the Danes.


Team On Target will be attending.

That is cool. I have seen far too many games give multiple awards to one team from their general (especially when their teammate or good friend is general). Awards from the other team mean a little more IMO. But then again I have gotten over the entire award thing. I would much rather a new up and coming team get an award than we get another one. That is of course they earn it.

Good stuff guys.

I wouldn't expect any less of you guys. We need to coordinate the rest of 08 and see if we can't stomp some fools together.
