Hmm, did some digging in the latest Ansteorran Participants Handbook. <br>
<br>
Section VII Missile Combat Appendix.<br>
<br>
2. OTHER MISSILE WEAPONS<br>
General Rules:<br>
a. A missile shall not contain any material, such as beans, sand, etc.,
which<br>
could enter the eyes if the missile came loose or broke.<br>
b. All missile weapons shall be marked with the name of their user or
maker.<br>
For interkingdom wars they shall also be marked with the name of the<br>
kingdom to make it easier to locate the maker/user of the weapons.<br>
Hand Thrown Missiles:<br>
c. Hand thrown missiles may include, but are not limited to: axes,
throwing<br>
knives, etc.<br>
d. Hand thrown missiles shall not exceed two pounds in weight. They
should<br>
have progressive give similar to a legal javelin head. Lighter weight
missiles<br>
may have less progressive give.<br>
<br>
I do believe that throwing maces do come under this section. If so
than they are legal for Missile Combatants. It also further states that
Missile Combatants using javelins, throwing axes and maces and what not
may use archers gauntlets or demi gauntlets. Too switch to a full
Armoured Combatant roll you must either change your hand protection or
use an approved style of basket hilt. <br>
<br>
In short Mike, yes you may use the throwing maces but maintain adequate
range and be careful of your hands. Just remember they are gleanable
and can be thrown back at you. :o)<br>

Really, I would be curious where you are getting that from. Obviously
you are reading the rules somewhat different than I am. The only
Combat Archers that I am aware of that require a Armoured Combat
authorization are the 16-18 year old ones. Care to give us the section
you are quoting from.<br>

<pre wrap="">My understanding is no, in Ansteorra you are not required to have an
Armored Combat authorization to use a _*thrown*_ mace.
Ansteorra has traditionally allowed combat archers to use thrown
weapons in combat. If it that is no longer the case it sure wasn't
well communicated. Therefore my assumption is that Combat Archer are
still allowed to use thrown weapons.

<pre wrap=""><!---->
According to the current rules you have to be authorized in Armored
Combat to fight on the field at all. Since archers are full contact
fighters you are required to be authorized as a fighter before you
become authorized as an archer. So the answer is still yes.
