Many of you had your first taste of warfare yesterday, and doubtless

all of those involved had their first encounter will something closer to

a fullscale battlefield. Some did well, some were confused.

What I've done is written up a HELP SUMMARY file. This is an overview of

the ENTIRE warfare system and lists out all the important commands you'll

need to operate with a reasonable level of competence on the battlefield.

It's about as short as it can be, each command given a little summary

in as simple a fashion as possible. So those of you who want a crashcourse

in warfare and can't yet wade through the full HELP 21 files - some of them

really do require you to have had battlefield experience before they'll

fully make sense - use HELP SUMMARY. Print it out. Read it while you're

having breakfast. If you can absorb just that one helpfile the next time

you encounter a battle you'll be in much, much better shape to cope with

what happens.

Written by my hand on the 28th of Springflower, in the year 1227.
