[MR] Two armored combat rules changes...

[Robert Day]

The Society Earl Marshal has made the following changes to the rules used
for armored combat (the underlined passages are the changes.)

 

VI. G (Dealing with arm armor under a strapped shield)

The elbow point and bones at either side of the elbow joint must be covered
by a rigid material underlain by at least 1/4 inch (6mm) of closed-cell foam
or equivalent padding. This armor shall be attached in such a way that the
elbow remains covered during combat. A shield alone is sufficient on a side
strapped shield, if the elbow is 4 inches (10.2cm) or more from the edge of
the shield during typical use.

 

VII.D.4 (Dealing with thrusting tips on fiberglass spears)

All fiberglass spears must have a thrusting tip that is a minimum of 2
inches (50.8 mm) in diameter/cross-section and have 2 inches (50.8 mm) of
resilient material in front of the PVC end cap, thereby providing
progressively resistant give without allowing contact with the PVC end cap. 

 

Because Atlantia does not have any rule that restricts these any further,
both of these rules are not in effect in Atlantia.

 

Yours in Service,

Otto von Schwartzkatz, Earl Marshal
