[Ponte Alto] June 12th Highland River Melees Battle Schedule

[DCADENISE at aol.com]

Greetings  from Your Baronial Warlord, Sir Thomas of Calais;
   Below is  the proposed battle schedule for Saturday June 12th at Highland 
River Melees  hosted by the Barony of Highland Foorde.  For additional 
information here  is the link to the website:   _Highland River Melees_ 
(http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/0406/hrm.htm)  
 
 
As Highland River  Melees is fast approaching here is the Heavy Fighting 
Schedule

10  AM  Heavy Authorizations start, in a tent if necessary

11 AM   Heavy Inspections start

12 noon  Triad Tourney starts-  This is  a bear pit tourney with only one 
belt per triad.  The moment one team loses  the next enters.  Water breaks if a 
triad has three successive wins.  1  hrs

2PM  Resurrection Field battle with Kings-  1\2  hour field battle with 
resurrections.  Each side has a King who wears a  crown.  Each side also has a 
small castle.  The castle can be  destroyed by siege weapons.  If the King is 
killed he chooses a successor  within one minute of his death.  With the new King 
the new King's side gets  its castle back. The side that had the least kings 
wins.  No repeats  allowed for kings.  Combat archery 

3PM  Siege of Acre-   Saladin is at the gates of Acre, just as the city is 
about to fall Richard the  Lionhearted arrives with a small army of heavy 
infantry and crossbowmen.   He desperately holds the gates until a relief army on 
the way from Tyre  arrives.  He had 1,000 infantry, 400 crossbowmen and 52 
Knights sharing 13  horses.  Saladin had much, much more but none as heavily 
armored as  Richard's forces.  Our event will have two walls with archery points and 
a  open gate area that must be defended.  A  force of Crusaders will be  in 
front of the gate.  All of the Crusaders will have shields with the  exception 
of three spearmen.  The Crusaders do not resurrect.   Saladin's men resurrect 
but have no shields.  If the Crusaders hold out for  ten minutes all "dead" 
Crusaders come back as the relief force and resurrection  ends.   1/2 hour

3:45  More field battles till no one  wants more.
 
I hope to  many of you at the event.
In  service
Sir Thomas  of Calais
