General Greywhiskers,
Thank you, Sir. While I am attemtping to recruit several of the local militia, I really think we have this won already with the exceptional troops we already have. Now any respectable Westerner will be here to join us, and I wouldn't be the least surprized if some decided to flank the enemy forces unannounced without oficially joining our cause. Here is my plan... Intercept the enemy general, capture him, try, and then hang him as a spy. With no intelligence, the enemy forces will be blind (which by the way also accounts for their shooting) and will be rounded up in time for them to get front row seats so they can watch as we over run their perimeter and take over their territory. I would say we can then take the spoils of war, but I vote we let them keep them, as I don't believe that there is anything in the East worth taking. What say ye, Sir?
As to those of you Westerners who have not joined yet, what is taking so long? The crops can stay in the field an extra week and it isn't deer season yet, so please make haste at the first opportunity to join our cause. If you get here quick enough,m we will have those lowly Easterners tucking their tails and running before dinner-time.
General Jethro,
I will allow you this one chance to surrender your forces. If you accept, you and your men will be welcomed back to our campfire, fed, watered, and allowed to keep your weapons as honorable men, with your respect and honor intact. Should you however choose to continue to pursue this ill fated, and exceptionally feeble attempt to stand against our much superior Western forces, your next chance at surrended will be unconditional and you will be forced to suffer the humiliation and ridicule that comes with that. I will now patiently await your response, knowing your horses are slow and your messengers cant stay on course without getting lost for weeks on end. :blah:
