From The Page (September, 1988):
When the cold rains of November drive the warriors from the battlefield, fighters will have an opportunity to learn that there is more to War than killing people. There's strategy! There's tactics! There's even more! Therefore, by command of His Majesty, the War College of the West will hold its first session on November 12 in the Province of the Mists. The exact site will be announced next month. All interested people are invited to attend. Lectures will be offered on how to form a unit and what to do with it once you have one. There will be seminars on deployment, tactics, scenario development and the role of protocol in War. There will be a track for marshals, medics and water carriers, and a presentation on an actual historic battle. Follow the day sessions, there will be a low-cost "soup kitchen" dinner available. At the request of His Majesty, there will be a Curia Regis on matters of concern to fighters. A revel will follow.
Further information and a schedule will appear in the October Page, but if you can't wait, call Maythen of Elfhaven at (phone) or Eilis O'Boirne at (phone).
