ARN - New Rules

[gptaylor]

Hello.

Was just looking through the newish rules the other day.  Had y'all
realized that a poke to the upper, inner thigh and arm now ends the
fight?  Overall, tehre's no difference in result between draw cuts and
pokes.  This is in line with the new corporate rules.

New Ansteorran Rules:
1.Any thrust that strikes with 4 pounds (1.8kg) of force will be
considered a valid blow. This is the amount of force it takes to flex a
#5 French foil by 2 inches (5cm) or a #5 epee by  ½ inch (1.5cm).
   2.Any cut that the fighter perceives against himself, where the edge
of the blade slides at least 10 inches (24cm) will be considered a valid
blow.
   3.A valid blow to the following areas will end the fight, resulting
in defeat for the recipient:
        a.Torso
        b.Groin
        c.Neck
        d.Head
        e.Brachial artery (arm pit and inside upper arm down to one
hand’s width from the arm pit)
        f.Femoral artery (inside of thigh down to one hand’s width from
the groin)


Old Ansteorran Rules:
c.The effects of a good blow from a cut or thrust are:
             i.A good thrust to the torso, neck or head is a killing
blow and ends the fight.
             ii.A good cut to the neck, the brachial artery (under the
arm between the armpit and the elbow), the femoral artery (inside of the
thigh between
               the groin and the knee) or the abdomen (between ribs and
hips, front or back) is a kill.
             iii.A good cut or thrust to an arm disables that arm.
             iv.A good cut or thrust to a hand disables the hand, but
the arm may still be used.
             v.A good cut or thrust to a foot or a leg disables that leg
and makes it impossible for the fighter to stand or use his legs to move
about.
             vi.A cut to the head or chest may be acted out as the
fighter sees fit.

New Corporate Rules:
D. A good thrust to the

          head,
          neck,
          torso
          inner groin (to the fighter’s hand width down the inner limb),
or armpit (to the fighter’s inner hand width down the limb) shall be
judged incapacitating, rendering the fighter incapable of further
combat. Draw cuts to these locations shall be judged incapacitating. Tip
cuts may be considered incapacitating to any or all of these regions, as
Kingdoms see fit.
