[Ansteorra] Battle of Three Commanders

[Carletta da Nicolosi]

Unto the 
Populace of Ansteorra do the Stewards of the Battle
of Three Commanders Send Greetings!


Battle of Three Kings XVI known this year as the 
Battle of
the Three Commanders will be held at Hawkins State Park in Hawkins, 
Texas, October
1-3.  Here are the Battle Scenarios so
that all can begin to plan their alliances and the fun can begin!  

The Commanders are:

The Irish Commander - Grainne Ui Mhaille - HE 
Druinne de
Salesberie

The English Commander - Sir Francis Drake - HE Don Robert MaPharland

The Spanish Commander -
 Duke Alonzo Perez de Guzman - HE Don Iago 
Cabrera de Cadiz


Background: The
 English are trying to stop the Spanish
Armada from invading England 
with or without the help of the Irish.  Nobody
can say until the very last minute with which forces the Irish Queen 
will
align. The field battles will be at Tilbury, the castle battle will be 
on Isle
of Wight, which is the first line of defense in the English Channel 
against any
invading force and the ship to ship will be at sea.


First Scenario:
  Chivalric
fighters will battle at the Castle to defend the Isle of White while the
 Rapier
fighters will be fighting from ship to ship trying to stop the Spanish 
Armada &
the Irish from getting to the English homeland. 



Second Scenario:
 Chivalric fighters will be fighting on
the ships and the Rapier fighters will have a Field Battle defending 
English
homeland from any forces that might get past the seafaring defenders, 
while the
invaders attempt to win the castle.  


Third Scenario:
  Chivalric
fighters will have a Field Battle and the Rapier fighters will be 
assaulting
the Castle.  


Siege is welcome in all Chivalric battles as well 
as Archers
so that all will have as much fun as possible for as long as desired.


Most are familiar with the Rosenfeld Castle 
and we are trying something new this year with hay-bail ships for 
‘ship-to-ship’
battles with boarding parties and Archers. 
If we can squeeze a Siege on-board one or more ships, what fun 
that would
be!  


Commanders, rally your troops!  We
 are looking toward a full day of non-stop
fun for all.
