The Weekly Warfare   Musings martial from across the SCA

Well then, Atlantia finally got our Atlantia/Aethelmarc vs. East/Mid war.  We could have done better with it, I’m slightly annoyed that we turned away a few ally requests with “Wait until the war and let’s balance out the sides.”  The sides weren’t balanced, and we were still screwed out of some strong allies.  But it’s […]

Really, if you’ve got any idea of my mental age by now, that title should not surprise.  And as it might suggest, the next morning (that would be Friday for those of you following along at home) brought a woods battle.  Though not, technically, so big as the Armored Woods Battle.  As with last year, […]

As was the way of things (and a great way it was), the morning on Thursday was devoted to the rapier warpoint battle: The field battle. It was a good set up: say lay-on, and then it’s last man standing, best of five.  These are the things the way they should be. For this one, […]

Since the champions had been rained out on Sunday, it was rescheduled for Wednesday after the 5 Man Tournament (y’all can all chime in on that, but congrats to the Kappellenfechters on making it to the quarters, again, with a team full of blue scarves!) Before I talk about mine, I want to give mad […]

Tuesday morning rolled around and brought with it the promise of the Flag Battle for Rapier (seriously, WTF is a “Flag Battle”?  One does not battle on or in a flag like on does in a Field, Town, Bridge, Ravine, or Woods Battle) and the Bridge Battle for Armored. Rapier Flag Battle It turns out […]

I guess, since August’s not out yet, I can still sneak in a write-up on Pennsic.  ‘cause why not?  I’m still Editor in Chief around these parts.  Also, there hasn’t been a good top-to-bottom post mortem yet. As has been mentioned before, this was finally the war of the East/Mid (plus allies) vs. Atlantia/Aethelmarc (plus […]

We’ve had a “bad things that happened at Pennsic” discussion.  Let’s also talk about the good.  So here’s a question that Master Eldrid put to me: What did you see at Pennsic that inspired you?

Speaking of Assessment, how was yours?

Sweetums and I trucked up early Saturday morning, pitched our tent, and eventually made our way to the rapier field. Ruby Tourney For the Ruby tourney there were 44 fighters, which split to 11 per pool.  The White Scarves had a lower representation than normal, there was only one per pool.  Except mine.  It had […]

I know a few of our contributors are already working on writeups, which should get their own post, but feel free to chime in with your thoughts on how the event went, how you did, etc, etc.
