Battles
At the event we will be running two large battles, one Saturday morning and one Sunday morning. The large battles will follow the normal rules for battles; you may only participate in a single battle as your character and you must monster the other battle if you decide to participate in one. The sides for the battles will be chosen by the generals in the Muster of the Imperial Military Council on Friday night.
The fighting begins at 11:00 am - but if you are playing the battle then you will need to muster up before this time and if you are monstering then you need to make your way to the monster area for 10:00 am to give us time to get you into costume, made-up and briefed.
Skirmishes
Sadly our backup site does not have any woods, so we are developing out a new plan this year to take advantage of the open spaces that we have instead. This means that we will be running less small quests than less year, and instead looking to running large skirmishes alongside our main battles.
There are over 50 members of the Hundred booked for the event, but it's still not nearly enough to challenge some of the bigger nations. So to make the skirmishes as awesome as possible, we are asking players who like the existing battles to consider volunteering a second time during each event. This will allow us to run a lot more fights for everyone.
To help us organize folk, we've set aside some a slot for each nation, which are listed below.
| Saturday | Sunday | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | Nation | Time | Nation |
| 13:30-15:30 | Brass Coast & Imperial Orcs | 13:30-15:30 | Dawn & Urizen |
| 15:00-17:00 | Navarr | 15:00-17:00 | Wintermark |
| 16:30-18:30 | League | 16:30-18:30 | Highguard |
| 18:00-20:00 | Marches | 18:00-20:00 | Varushka |
Monstering during this slot is purely voluntary - but it will help us put on a much better event for everyone. To try and make things as fair as possible, our plan is to track the number of volunteers coming from each nation on an ongoing basis and use that to create equivalent sized skirmish opportunities for those nations at the next event. In effect, we'll try and deliver more fights to the nations that volunteer the most - on the assumption that those nations contain the players who want those opportunities the most.
