There will be FOUR FULL DAYS of armored combat this year at Great Western War; fighting will begin promptly at 10:00 am each day.

Conventions of Combat

Weapon standards for the war follow Caidan regulations, armor standards for the war follow the regulations of each fighter’s home kingdom, Combat Archery regulations will follow Society rules.

Armor/weapon inspection begins at 9:00 am each day, fighter authorizations will take place from 9:00 am to 9:30 am, if you miss this window and need to be authorized you will need to wait until the next day for an authorization, no exceptions.

Missile and thrown weapons will be inspected each day from 9:00-9:30 am and between CA battles only.

The first scenario of each day will begin with combat archery; combat archery will be allowed in every other scenario.

No inspections will be done during CA scenarios; late arrivals will have to wait until the next inspection. Archers will retrieve arrows and bolts between scenarios and will have them inspected for use for the next scenario. There is no entry to the field with uninspected missile or thrown weapons.

To encourage camaraderie between rapier and heavy weapons combat, we will be running scenarios alongside of each other on the fighting field, to make this work all rapier fighters and heavy fighters need to keep their helms on while on the field to prevent accidental injury from archery fire. There will be safe zones for fighters and spectators to stand with helmets off and watch the fighting or take breaks and drink water.
