- 5.1 and 5.2- Updated throughout to refer to you as the audience and simplify language.
- Added 5.1.5 - "Archers may have a backup weapon on them, but may not draw it until their bow/crossbow has been safely disposed of (taken off the field, discarded in a low traffic area, handed to another combatant, etc). Upon drawing a backup weapon to enter combat, hands must be appropriately armoured." This had been previously removed in the 2009 rules when we didn't allow non-plumed archers.
- Added 5.1.6 - "Archers may carry and use thrown weapons without need to discard their bow/crossbow or change hand armour". This had been previously removed in the 2009 rules when we didn't allow non-plumed archers.
- Added 5.1.7 and 5.1.8 - moved from missile weapons standards as these are about use not construction.
- Edited 5.2.4 to remove the passive voice.
