[Atlantia-Announce] Defending the Gate Armoured and Combat Archery Announcement

[Benjamin Zupan via Announce]

So, for Defending the Gate, coming up on March 26th:


 The majestic cities of Germany required squads of men to work as units to protect the populace from invaders. To be one of the milites aurati (Golden Soldiers), special deeds must be performed.


 In the spirit of this martial tradition, a challenge is hereby issued....
 Ten Minutes:
 Can you and four comrades assault a bastion in that time?
 Can you and four comrades hold a bastion and weather the storm?
 

After the challenge, the forces will be marshalled and allowed to show the populace of the realm that neither defense nor attack are lacking in the mighty Kingdom of Atlantia.
 

Rules of the challenge:
 - 5 man teams with no restrictions on composition.
 - Last Man Standing.
 - No wounds will be retained between rounds.
 - If the defending team eliminates the attacking team before 10 minutes have passed, they will be awarded the full 10 minutes.
 



Now, at the same time, our Kingdom's Combat Archers have a special treat before the afternoon:
 

A horn sounds in the distance, heralding the arrival of the Wild Hunt. Through the trees arrows and bolts fly in support of the Huntsman and his hounds.
 

A show of skill, and a merry chase through the thicket is called for!
 

Afterwards, the archers will be called to the field of battle, either to assist the attack or defense of the bastion.
