Armored Combat Updates 3/29/2025

Attention all armored combatants and marshals!

We have recieved two important updates regarding equipment standards:

1. The “potato masher” rubber mace heads have been thoroughly tested by Society and have been deemed safe and legal for use in armored combat, provided they contain no metal within the rubber. Please, double check your maces and use them with caution.

2. Vambraces will continue to be considered optional for arm armor standards, but Society strongly encourages combatants to wear them to protect the ulna bone in the forearm.

Thank you for your attention, and stay safe in the lists!

In service,
