[MR] Heavy Fighting scenarios

[Duane Moore]

Didn't we basically run this sceranio in the wood battle at WOTW last year? It was capture the flag, with timed releases....we also have done the same battle at Sapphire Joust in the Ravine several times as a prep for the Allied Champions with no injuries or hurt feelings. 

My only suggestion is that if you are going to do that battle at WOTW, make it the last battle of the day, with shorter release periods and a shorter over all time. It is, as His Grace says, a killer!
