Wargy

Sunday February 7th, 2016
Napa, California

Muster your forces, unfurl your banners and gather your pride! The time of the Wargy is nigh!

On Sunday February 7th, in the beautiful lands of Vinhold (Skyline park in Napa), the Wargy will commence (again)!! This is an all-day resurrection WAR graciously sponsored by the Shire of Canale.

The field will be laid out in the shape of the Principality of the Mists (bay area), and divided out to the landed groups who reserve a slice of territory to defend. Heed the call to war, expand your horizons, annex your neighbors, and protect your hearth and home. At the end of the day, the group that holds the land gets the treasure! There will be A&S activities too!!

Each group who wishes to hold their own piece of the war field MUST have their commander RSVP to the autocrat by midnight Jan 11th 2016, with an approximate troop count. Commanders can email the Autocrat or fill in the reservation form. Each unit which receives land must bring the following things to the Wargy:

* Troops, hired or native (each team must have a minimum of 4 fighters)
* A war banner on a pole that is at least 6’ tall.
* A treasure chest filled with fortunes worthy of the "pride" of the group
* War support, by supplying the equivalent of at least 1 all-day marshal, and 1 all day support staff (gate work/ hydration support/ clean bathrooms etc., broken up however you wish)
* To claim your land, at least the commander (or designate) and one other team member must be on site by 9:30

Suggestions for aspiring conquerors:
* Some extra means of payment for the mercenaries you will want to hire!

Not attached to a group, or your group did not get land? No problem, mercenaries are period!! We will provide the territorial groups the opportunity to vie for your services.

Want to know who is coming to fight? Check out the Reservation Database for the list of those who have requested land.

Rapier activities are planned!! All individual Rapier fighters will also need provide treasure.

Archery and thrown weapons will be allowed!

And there will be A&S
