Speaking as one of those "spies" I can say I want to see our friends from
the Mid at their best when I meet them at Pensic. I 'd enjoy going up
against a well trained and organized spear unit, using effective group
tactics rather than the typical fencing tactics. I feel the better armies
the Mid fields the better the East has to do.

You folks face us every year, I'd love to hear any constructive feedback you
have on the Eastern Army. What do we do thats effective, what's
ineffective. I'd particularly like to know if there is any specific things
that get folks upset with the Eastern army, what's our reputation? We're
just a few monthes away from the melee season in the East. It would be good
to know if we need to work on recognition, calibration, or control. If you
let us know what the Eastern army does that causes bad feelings than we can
hopefully avoid the post battle mutterings that sometimes occur on both
sides.
