Download the Friday Scenarios.

General Information

• All fighting conventions and weapon standards will adhere to Atenveldt Standards.
• Visiting kingdom armor requirements will be honored.
• Quick resets! Keep your tops on! Each battle will begin immediately following the end of the battle before it. Enough time will be given to quickly glean used arrows from the field.
• Each side will run scenarios 2 – 4 twice on the same side. Armies will then switch sides and run the scenario two more times.
• Hats off between scenarios
• Any areas roped off completely with caution tape will be considered solid objects/structures and cannot be walked into or fired through.
• Armor Inspection starts at 9am Scenarios start at 10am

Combat Archer Information

Combat Archery is permitted in ALL battles

• You may only fire to the North and South.
  • No East/West fire will be permitted.
  • You may not fire above the rise/ridge on the west edge of the battlefield.
• Arrow inspection will only occur in between scenarios; NO arrow inspections will occur in between battles.
  • *****You will need to manage your ammunition to fight multiple battles.*****

Scenarios 1 – 5 No special rules or ammo limitations will be in effect for these battles.
Scenarios 2-4 ONLY! Each archer is permitted 7 arrows per battle to begin. As the scenarios progress, each cache that an army wins will permanently increase their combat archers arrow supply by 1.

• For scenarios that are run multiple times, only 1 instance will be used to calculate how many cache’s each side controls. The attacking army will get to choose which battle they want to use.
  • E.G. Army A captures 3 cache’s during the first battle, and only 2 during the second. They can choose to honor the results of the first battle (giving their archers 3 extra arrows and the other army 2 extra arrow in every battle going forward) or they can choose to honor the results of the second battle (giving their archers 2 arrows and the opposing armies archers 3 arrows going forward). This will then be repeated when Army B is the attacker. The results from both chosen battles will be carried forward. Included for clarity: This could theoretically (but it will not really happen) result in 1 army having 16 arrows per archer and the second army still only having 6 arrows per archer heading into D1S3.

• Cache’s that are not returned to the one of the red stars still in their starting location at the end of the battle, will not count for either army.
• The scenarios are designed so that both sides can potentially begin scenario D2S4 with 20 arrows per archer, if all caches are accounted for. The exact distribution will depend on the armies and the attention they devote to capturing/defending caches.

Siege Engine Information

• Siege engines will be permitted in scenarios 2, 3 and 4
  • Ammo limitations are TBD based upon turnout.
• Siege engines may only fire to the south.
• Hitting or striking a siege weapon is strictly prohibited!
  • All siege engines will have a corresponding target/object approximately 10 – 15 feet in front of it that must be struck with a melee weapon to disable the siege engine.
  • The target needs to be appropriately sized, E.G. a haybale
