challenges of the heat and the somewhat ad hoc composition of team and my own
inexperience at melee leadership. (I really just like to hit things.) The
non-combatants were instrumental in making many of our points with their
tireless and creative efforts in schmoozing the royalty, cheering, waving
banners and so on. I was really impressed with how well everyone hung in there
in the heat at the end of a long event: We had the max number of fighters in
every bout and were putting on our hats to go out again as the end of the
tournament was announced.
Next weekend is Highland River Melees. It is somewhat further out than it has
been previously, but promises to have some very interesting scenarios and stuff.
They are looking for teams of 7 - 14 to compete, and it would be great to put
one together. There are also individual tourneys early on Saturday to determine
the leaders of the English and French forces, the Black Prince and Joan of Arc.
If you plan to go and fight, talk to Lucas or me, so we have an idea of whether
we have a team or not. Event site here:
