ANST - Rapier at Gulf War

[PotterKD at aol.com]

Greetings unto the rapier community of Ansteorra and abroad!

It gives me great pleasure to announce that the single war point at Gulf Wars 
has been expanded to include the Rapier Champions Tournament and two 
additional melees.  The melees will more then likely be held on Saturday 
though this has not been firmed up as of yet.  

They will consist of Ansteorra and her allies against Trimaris and all her 
allies.  The second melee will be the same, but those individuals who are 
members of the order of the white scarf or equivalent will not be 
participating in it.  This allows others to have the opportunity to take a 
leadership role.  The side that takes 2 out of 3 of these scenarios takes the 
point.

In addition to the above, and the other rapier tourney/melees that are not 
for a point, Her Royal Majesty Trimaris and myself are sponsoring an 
additional Rapier Tournament.  This is a for fun tournament.  HRM and myself 
are also encouraging other ladies to come and watch so they can participate 
in the time honored tradition of betting on what is occurring on the field.  
It should be fun for all -- fighter and spectators.  Time and date have not 
be decided -- please review your Gulf War pamphlet.  

Furthermore, in addition to the above TRM Meridies have decided that those 
individuals from Meridies who have been carded to fight epee will be able to 
use this weapon style at the War.  Do note: no individuals from Meridies will 
be carded for this weapon style while at the war.  This is for those 
individuals who live on the Ansteorran/Meridies boarder and have a card from 
both kingdoms.

Lastly, a call to WAR!  This year Gulf will have the most scenarios it ever 
has for Rapier.  There are also a number of additional chivalric melees (so 
if you are interested in both you can do "hard suit" too), equestrian (which 
now is for a point), archery and a host of other activities.  Come help to 
make this Gulf one of the best!

Learning to serve the dream and Ansteorra,
