[MR] Reminder: Northern Regional Melee Practice - Sunday November 14th- Noon

Update: Her Highness will be in attendance and looking for candidates for her Guard. Come and show our Princess what the North is capable of.


Greetings all valiant heavy fighters of Atlantia. I am pleased to announce that Ponte Alto will host a Northern Regional Melee Practice on Sunday November 14 starting at Noon.

At Kingdom Crusades we identified a few areas to improve and will create a few melee scenarios that will allow us to improve our skills accordingly

The simple plan for the day will be:
    Noon - 1pm: warm up with singles
    1pm  - ?: Melees

I will divide the fighters into teams, keeping those who normally fight together within the same group. 

The first set of three melees will have us practice columns with double stacked shields (two rows of shields, backed up with support weapons) moving over a long distance.

The next set of melees will be open field format. Time and energy permitting we will end the day with a set of bridge and resurrection battles. 

Starting in the spring of 2005 there will be a once a month Northern Regional practice that will rotate around to different areas, and occasionally allow combat archery. More on this soon!

Practice is behind the Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library 7584 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church.

Directions: Take your best route to I-495. Get off at the exit for Route 7 East (Falls Church). The library is on the left about 1 mile. Park in the library lot and go down the hill to the park

In service to Atlantia and the Dream,
Abel Brem of Regnesfolc
