ANST - Gulf War Archery...Clarified Rules....! (...or a miscommunicationfixed)

[Alan J. Boertjens]

This is a ridiculous ruling...

Any archer on the field should be subject to other archers fire as
well as catapults, ballistaes, etc...

The original premise for the 10' radius kill, was in response to the 
former weapon-length radius kill rule.  Since a pike was 9' long, they 
imposed the 10' radius kill rule.

By this argument the NO-HIT-ARCHERS should be 'killed' when they get
within bow-range radius from any other enemy archer, lets say 60 yards.
In similar fashion, setup a catapult-range radius kill zone as well.

This would be a FAR more logical rule based on the current radius-kill
rules.  Having archers that are 'untouchable' by other archers is
ridiculous!  If the archers don't want to put on minimum armour
requirements, then stay off the melee field and attend the IKAC field!
