Notes - Combat Authorisation Requirements

Editing required (remove once incorporated into rules)

• Remove Marshal in Training as a thing - Add Auxillary Marshals (which includes all heavy combatants)
• Clarify that Combat Aarchery requires either a Heavy authorisation or Plumed Participant authorisation as well. Heavy authorisations also grant Auxiliary Marshal authorisation and Plumed Participant authorisation.
• Update to note that only Senior Marshals can do authorisations.
• Seriously how can a 14-year-old be allowed to be hit by missiles on the field, but you have to be 16 to be there in a non-combat role?? I suspect that is a hangover from before we had plumed participants, and can be dropped to 14 for all non-combatants, except marshals.
