This will be a 1460's Michaelmas encampment event where Michaelmas Holy Day-appropriate activities will occur. Details on activities will be officially released at a later date, but I expect there will be games, a feast and armed confict over what lord has legal right to the land and will collect the rent on Michaelmas.

This event will be open to public observation, but not widely publicised. The Warwick, Codnor and Wolfe Argent groups will be attending. People who are not officially members of participating groups, yet would like to participate can probabally be accomodated if they discuss it with the organizers and their kits follow standards akin to those posted by Redco here on the Forum.

(disclaimer - I am not the official organizer, but can put you in touch with him)

What exactly is "American Rec. Fighting"?

What are the "Padded wepons" you talked about?

Thanks!

"Padded weapons" are essentially foam-covered boffers. Yes, it is extremely farby, but this was a closed event, the first event we'd done this at, and we'd never do it in public. However, it is lots of fun and allows the fighters to go nuts with full-power strikes to almost anywhere on the body without hurting someone (much) or denting mild steel armor.

Surprisingly, it gave an appreciation of group tactics like of keeping the lightly armored benind the heavy, protecting archers and having several lightly-armored with bills gang up on the armored.
