Needlefelt Combat Rules and Weapon ConstructionRe-Creating the Atmosphere of Ancient BattleBASIC Needlefelt Combat System RulesHere is a website that covers making Needlefelt weapons: Needlefelt Combat Sytem (NFS) Every participant understands the risks inherent and takes them upon him or herself. A signed waiver is required before combat can commence. Participants should understand the rigors of mock combat and be in good health. Legio IX or the event sponsor will not be liable for injuries, accidents, or health problems brought on by NFS (Needle Felt System) combat or personal health issues. The basic rules of NFS, site specific rules may apply. A required inspection of NFS weapons and a safety demonstration will be held prior to combat. Every participant must use:
Every NFS weapon will be tested for design and safety. These weapons will be checked for excess weight, construction, and will be thrust and struck against a solid object multiple times in an attempt to cause it to fail. Any NFS weapon that shows inner rods or excessive wear will not be allowed. The NFS has always been a "counting coup" strike system. This is based upon the honor of the individual and the ability to "place" a hit on your opponent instead of striking or injuring them. Heroic over the head shield crushing strikes or diving into formations with sword swinging without regard for the safety of your fellow human will get you removed from the event If all of us are very careful, accept any "good hits" that are dealt us and respect each other we can have a good time. If a Roman or Celt spears you in the chest for the second time...(lorica be damned.. this guy has skill...) FALL Down...take the hit. We are having FUN. Arguing about hits stops the action and spoils the fun of it, so just DIE DAMMIT! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE HISTORY. NSF Strike Rules:
NSF Combat Weapon Regulations:1. Spears must be constructed within these size and weight parameters —
8. NF weapons may be inspected and rejected for use if flaws or damage which could pose a safety risk are observed.
