[Ansteorra-rapier] A heads-up for next Gulf War

[Chris Zakes]

Fair Greetings,

As you've probably already heard, next year's Gulf War will pit Ansteorra 
and Trimaris against Meridies and the new kingdom of Glen Ahbinn. While 
Ansteorra and Trimaris allow both light rapiers (foils and epees) and 
heavier blades (schlagers, Del Tins, etc.) Meridies and Glen Ahbinn are 
both heavy-blade only kingdoms.

We probably need to start planning *now* for next year's rapier tourneys, 
melees and war points, because the "default to epee" standard that's been 
used in the past isn't going to work next year. Those of you who aren't 
authorized with the heavier blades will need to consider getting 
authorized, if you want to fight in all the melees and war points. Whoever 
next year's rapier commanders are, we'll need more practice in heavy-blade 
melees.
