[MR] Heavy Fighting at Ymir

[David Ritterskamp]

Your Highness:

I'll bring my spare elbows.

Regards,

Jonathan Blackbow



There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, 
or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction 
of a new order of things.
-Niccolo M.

>>>Fighting at this year’s Ymir will be done with the
>>>traditional Norse theme.  Fighters will face off with
>>>weapon and round shield or for the more daring you can
>>>for-go the use of the shield and choose to fight with
>>>a four-foot axe (the axe counts as a GW for
>>>authorization purposes).
>>>
>>>Fighters are encouraged to make and practice with
>>>their own round shields or four foot axes however
>>>there will be a few available for loan for those
>>>unable to make their own.  The “loaner” rounds are all
>>>center grips rounds (the way Odin intended a round to
>>>be) please remember to have at least an elbow cup and
>>>a half gauntlet for your shield arm if you want to use
>>>a loaner shield.
>>>
>>>There is no size restriction on the shield, make it as
>>>small or as large as you can wield.  The four-foot
>>>axes can be constructed in any SCA legal fashion you
>>>wish but they may not have thrusting tips and they may
>>>not exceed four feet in length.  If you have any
>>>questions about the fighting, or weapons construction
>>>please don’t hesitate to call or write to me.
>>>
>>>Please keep in mind that the “reasonable attempt” to
>>>cover your plastic/modern armour bits rule is
>>>currently in effect.  Please review the rule and make
>>>reasonable attempts to cover up your moden gear.
>>>
>>>Please do not respond to this YAHOO address, it will
>>>almost certainly guarantee that I wont see your
>>>question or comment.
