Recently at War of the Wings (an event in Atlantia) we held a Missile Combat Tourney<\/a>. We had only two participants but they had fun!<\/p>\n

\nhttp:\/\/periodpersonas.com\/village\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/MWT_WOW_mob-iPhone.m4v<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n

This was the Speed Round (aka Iron Gauntlet) variant of the Tourney. Here’s the deal with this specific Tourney’s set up…<\/p>\n

There is a lane that both combatants must stay in, about 12′ wide by around 40 yards long. There is a line dividing the lane into halves. Neither combatant may pass the middle line until allowed (more on that later).
\n\"speedround_layout_3\"<\/a>When “Lay On!” is called, a randomly determined weapon is called out after. This is the weapon for the first round. The combatants must run back, collect the weapon and engage. As soon as there is a victor, another weapon at random is called out, then repeat!<\/p>\n

Throwing maces, daggers, etc are all gleanable, so you can limit the number of them. In our case we had two of each on either side of maces and daggers. The combatants may glean from outside the bounds but may not engage.<\/p>\n

In this scenario, one cannot pass the middle line until one minute had passed. So if one person threw all their daggers, and left the other person with all the weapons, and once the minute was up… well, you can imagine.<\/p>\n

Yes the format isn’t new, but what is new is the ability to compete inter-Kingdom, as well as trying to homogenize the format to level the field. There are many variations that can be used, or even use your own! For the MWT its more about the participation than the actual method. \u00a0If you wish to track your scores you need only follow the basic requirements of the format. Please feel free to pass along your concepts, certainly a few have been shared and added to the draft already.<\/p>\n

The scores site is being tested and will be live soon. The hope is that we can get our missile community engaged in something that is fun, and can be a draw like rattan tourney’s are. And more importantly, offer a path to practical armored engagement for all our martial friends.<\/p>\n

Drop a line if you have any questions!<\/p>\n
