Armoured Combat notes:Classes of Participant and Combat: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:03, 12 March 2024

Updated minimum ages for participants - July 2021: War is an armoured combat activity. No person under the age of 16 can authorise for armoured combat according to Society rule changes in Corpora in July 2020.

Plumed Auxiliaries: Non-contact participants (including banner-bearers) were removed from Society rules in August 2006. Lochac requested an exemption to maintain the use of non-contact participants on the field - so now our banner bearers and non-contact archers wear plumes.

-*How can 14 year olds be allowed to be shot by missiles as plumed auxillaries, but must be 16 to be on the field in a non-combat role?  I suspect this is a hangover from before there were plumed participants, and can be changed to 14 as the minimum for all participants except marshals.

 ;Plumed Auxiliaries
-:Plumed auxiliaries are called auxiliaries to get around the age restrictions on combatants being at least 16 years old for armoured combat.
+:Non-contact participants (including banner-bearers) were removed from Society rules in August 2006.  Lochac requested an [[Armoured_Combat:Combat_Archery_Exemption |exemption]] to maintain the use of non-contact participants on the field - so now our banner bearers and non-contact archers wear plumes.
-:Pole weapons must not be used as banner poles as plumed auxiliaries may not carry any weapon, and we don't want 14-year-olds hit because someone thought they were carrying a weapon and didn't check for a plume.
