Good Day, A friend from Aethelmearc posted a well written piece on his thoughts for melee and weapons mixes on his Live Journal. It should be viewable by anyone.
I basically agreed and believe that Atlantia already does what he suggests.

You all are going to let the rapier community show you up with enthusiasm for fighting at this event?? :-D
I believe they are making up as they go i.e. lets see how many people show up then make an event. Holiday Faire is very weather dependent.

The flyer says heavy fighting. Does anyone know the format, timing, or anything?

I'll be there with my armor, but mainly thinking of it as a shopping/hang out trip with a possibility of rattan showers.Â

We will be holding a Melee Practice in Frederick, MD on December 13th from noon till 5pm at Pinecreek Park.We hope to get in more practice with, and against units from the Northern Atlantian Army and its neighboring kingdoms, and to plan/focus on group tactics for the upcoming Gulf and Pennsic Wars. We hope to see you there rain or shine!
Lords Stiofan and Volkhard Atlantia House Hedgehog
First of an update on last weeks practice. Despite the persistent rain we had no less than 13 fighters at any one time. We also had 2 observers. Attending: Sir Tash Lord Volkhard
Lord Stiofan Lord Willian The Shoprat Lady Kat Lord Todd Two Gentles from Barony of Brighthills. Neil Conrad Amanda Erica Rachel Observing: Gabriel Andrew Kevin We have moved to an on night/off night schedule, with the first and third Fridays of the month focusing on unit combat, and the others on one-on-one fighting.
We started with a bear pit in the courtyard for the first 45 minutes with much commentary from the observers. After this we moved into the open lot, and practiced mixed melee, ranging from 2-on-2 all the way up to 5-on-5.
Things wound down with Sir Tash and William giving one on one instruction to fighters, and general conversation about unit tactics. This week we are going to re-cap all the unit commands we have garnered so far. For individuals wanting to see/participate in the Northern Army unit commands, this is a good time to do so.
Secondly, we will be starting youth fighting this week at The Haven. Looks like we will be starting with 3 fighters. If you have any children who want to learn the art, this looks to be the largest in the area.
Jurgen is the marshal and last I heard is that he would like to run a Ragnarök
tourney. He's planning on holding authorizations and inspections at
11:00am with fighting starting around noon.
