Combat

Armoured Combat

There will be WAR morning and afternoon on Saturday.

We expect the war will include a variety of scenarios from field battles to town sieges, bridge battles and the like, with a mixture of combat styles. Some heavy only, some combat archery and some with equestrian.

Teneg Yagaan is the Marshal-in-Charge of Border War 2025. Teneg is working with Heavy, Rapier, Archery & Equestrian marshals to ensure a good range of activities and a balance between old favourites and interesting new scenarios.

NOTE that safety is paramount, so those few scenarios that combine equestrian and human interaction will be managed in a safe manner with distance between horses and humans.

Archery

There will be Combat Archery in several of the war scenarios and Target Archery at the Butts.
Archery at the Butts will be scheduled for Friday afternoon and Saturday.

Rapier

There will be a Rapier field at the Village Green, beside the Great Hall. Classes and practise bouts can be held on Friday & Saturday.

Equestrian

There is room for a few horses on site. If we have enough, they will be included in 1 or 2 of the WAR scenarios. Go to the Equestrian page for more information on bringing your horse to Border War 2025.

ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE ASKED TO BRING SOMETHING TO ADD TO THE WAR CHEST.
