I am a Dagorhir Elder (25+yrs).
You don't need armour of any sort to play Dagorhir.

I like the archery. Are you kidding? The archery is the worst part of the game. We complain about SCA combat archers shooting "nuclear arrows," but it's even worse in Dagorhir--you're dead if the arrow strikes any part of you, even your weapon (but not the head), and it's the archer --not...

AFAIK healers in Dagorhir are scenario-based and not often used. I have been to a coupla dozen batttles in the last 7 years and never saw healers. Orks and pixies etc yes, healers nope, spellcasting nope. Just a giant boffer batttle. I like the archery. Perhaps we should be sure and try some Dagiorh...

During the 2nd field battle at Pennsic, I was involved in a fairly brutal flank-counterflank engagement against the back of the left center of the red army (I was on the blue team). Our flanker group became encircled and were fighting desperately. As I was trying to back out of the now untenable sit...
