Heilsa,

First - would someone forward this to the Elfsea list - Thank You in 
advance.

The Joint War practice held this past Sunday was outstanding in 
attendance, the fighting and the training.

Wishing all those going to Gulf Wars a safe journey - a good War!

For those of us are NOT going, we will be gathering at the park same 
time and location - we will carrying on as best as we can with what 
personal armor that we have at our finger tips.

The fighters present were divided up into 3 different forces for

The scenarios were arrived at jointly between Sir Duncan and Lord

The division of the various fighters are what I recall - going by memory 
alone here:

Force One (F1):
Sir Mahdi - kite shield and sword,
Sir Duncan - shield and sword,
Sir Miguel - spear,
Sir Daffydd - heater and sword,
Lord Roc - heater and sword,
Lord Hrafn - spear,
Lord Karlous - shield and sword,
Lord Elias - spear,
Wes - shield and sword,
Doc - shield and sword,
 - commanding Sir Duncan.

Force Two(F2):
Baron Armand - shield and sword,
Centurion Stella - 30 lb., recurve and ~24 arrows,
Centurion Tomas - shield and sword,
Lady Honour - shield and sword
Louie - shield and sword,
Lord Damon - shield and sword,
Lord RIchard - shield and sword,  
- commanding Centurion Tomas

Force Three(3):
Centurion Morgan - shield and sword,
Lady Chiara - spear,
Lord Michael Fray - 30 lb., recurve and 50 arrows,
Kaneki - shield and sword,
Lincoln - shield and sword,
Eric - shield and sword,
Till - great sword
Dallas - shield and sword
- commanding Centurion Morgan.

First part of the gathering was devoted to warming up - meaning 
one-on-one bouts occurred. Then the above sides were chosen.

The scenarios that were run started off with F1 taking on both F2 and 
F3. With F3 being held in reserved for a short time before being allowed 
on assist F2. This scenario was an open battle - number of times ran 6 
times that I recall. Combat archery involved.

Bridge scenarios with F1 taking on both F2 and F3 forces on the bridge. 
Both single death and resurrection battles. No Combat archery involved 
with these set of scenarios - archers re-inspecting their arrows.  I 
recall approximately 30 minutes of constant fighting occurring during 
this set of scenarios.

Continuing with the Bridge scenarios after a short break - 1st three 
battles were to the last man standing, then to a resurrection battle. 
Sides were divided up again to even the numbers. Combat archery involved 
in all battles - the archers stayed in until they ran out of arrows. 
Then the heavy fighters continue to fight until time was called.

A de-briefs was held between scenarios to discuss the tactics and 
methods/suggestions to improve each individual fighting.
