Recently we have been challenged to reach out and help field more C.A. combatants by Atlantia’s own Excellency, Baron Fergus. I’d like to extend that welcome to all!<\/p>\n

\n

Spend this winter arming our friends!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Nearly<\/a>
More ammo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You you have supplies or skills you are willing to share?\u00a0Do you have loaner gear or templates for making armor or other equipment? The challenge was to help any friends get complete C.A. kits and get them on the field. If you have something to share, lets spend this winter getting it done!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This of course can be extended to any activity (archery, A&S, etc), but armored combat of any kind can be daunting to those without experience or exposure. Lets help our friends find the path that they seek. We need more meat shields if nothing else ;p<\/p>\n

Seek a local fighter practice. They are happening with some frequency over the winter months. C.A. is a little trickier but not impossible. But armor is armor is armor. Talk to your fighters about armor. Sometimes there are armoring workshops, check them out!<\/p>\n

\"Cameron<\/a><\/p>\n

I would also suggest to take the skill seriously, that you devote time to your martial form. Anyone can pull a bow, but can you pull one effectively and shoot someone accurately? Even if you aren’t shooting combat bolts\/arrows, get out and practice with your bow using field points at an archery practice. You should be comfortable with your weapon at the very least for yours, and other’s safety.<\/p>\n

Consult ye the ‘Book of Armaments<\/a>‘ a.k.a. the Marshal’s Handbook<\/a>. The consult your Kingdom’s Handbook to see if there are any additions.<\/p>\n

When you get a chance do a few IKCACs<\/a>. Local practice doesn’t do it? Ask them to.<\/p>\n

The C.A. community rocks and will always help you out. Let us know if you have any questions! Post any comments with links to supplies etc!<\/p>\n

See you all in the spring!<\/p>\n
