Announcement: Fighter Cards

Detail of fol. 5r from Royal Armouries Ms. I.33, circa 1300. Public domain in the US

Good Morning Calontir,

We have updated CALON to reflect recent changes to the structure of armored combat authorizations. Fighters who were previously authorized in two-handed sword or polearm should have those authorizations replaced by an authorization in two-handed weapon. Two-weapon authorizations have been removed.

Authorized fighters should login and print a new authorization card – especially if you are attending Pennsic.

Sincerely,

Gawin
