- Was 2.6.2.2, now 6.2.2 in Strkiing your opponent
- Was
- You are not allowed to strike your opponent with any other part of the sword or dagger except the blade.
- Now
- You are not allowed to strike your opponent with any other part of the sword or dagger except the blade and point.
- Functional change
- None, clarification
- Reason
- Follows discussions as to whether a blade and point are different, considering construction of spear heads which obviously have a blade you can't use, and act only as a point.
- For notes section
- June 2023 - Clarifies that the point of the sword and dagger can also be used to strike your opponent.
- Was 2.6.2.1, now 6.3 Killing from behind
- What was 2.6.2.1 Killing from behind has been renumbered to 6.3 to avoid a numbering clash with 6.2 Striking your opponent's sub rules.
- What was 2.6.2.2 Killing a gunner has been moved to be part of 3.3 Gunners
- Subsequent rules have been renumbered.
- 6.3.3 and 4 in Killing from behind
- Insert new rules
- 6.3.3 - You must use "killing from behind" when you are behind the line of your opponent's shoulders. Marshals may further restrict this angle at their discretion.
- 6.3.4 - If “killing from behind” is not allowed in the scenario, you may not strike your opponent while behind the line of your opponent’s shoulders.
- Functional change
- Clarification added for when killing from behind may be used, and allows marshals to add additional restrictions
- Reason
- Adds clarity around when killing from behind can be used. Marshals will be able to add additional restrictions (such as "outside of 120 degrees of the front arc"), but this is very difficult to clearly legislate.
