Planned Activities: Armored Combat

Once again we are pleased to present Fighting in the Shade, our winter melee fighting event.

FitS is an event that provides an opportunity for fighters to work on their melee skills during the long winter months, in preparation for Gulf Wars and the war season to come.  As part of this, we include an emphasis on combat archery.  One of our goals is to help combat archers and other fighters to train and fight together, learning tools and skills to help combat archers and other fighters work together and make the Northshield Army more effective.

This year we will again start out with drills for both combat archers and other fighters, to learn some tools each can use in working with the other. Then we'll have an afternoon of melee to use those tools in the heat of battle.
