[MR] Combat Archery Event

[Bary Sears]

I think that any CA scenario would have to have a limit on the number of
arrows allowed.  You might also have to have a rule that insists that a
certain number of arrows are loosed per period of time, to avoid hoarding.

Another scenario might be to include a heavy fighter, but the archers would
have to ability to 'kill' the shield.  This could open up the event to more
fighters.

I have not seen it in Atlantia, but in another Kingdom they had an archer vs
archer scenario in which the archers were confined to a large circle a fixed
distance away and then had to try and take out the opposing archer before
being killed themselves.  A variation would be to have several 'shooting
points' which would allow for some archer mobility.  The archer is
vulnerable at all times, but can only shoot from designated locations.  Add
as an option a shield and this could get interesting.  Another possible
variation would be a limited woods battle or field battle with either stand
up targets or a phalanx of heavy fighters.  The job of the archer is to kill
the heavies before being killed by the opposing archers.  They would not be
able to enter the field proper, but would have to shoot from cover or
flanks.  To give the heavies something to do, have a banner at either end
which would represent over running the archers.  Something like this was
done at Pennsic some years ago.

   Has anyone ever tried to have an event  in this Kingdom with  let's
say a Three Man Combat Archery teams  combatting each other?   If
not...what would be the best way to do this?  Duke Logan and I talked
about this last  night.
