I seem to remember a Combat of the Thirty-type event at Gulf Wars, or at least there was talk of one.
Did it happen? What was it called? If it did happen are we looking at another one this year?

It was called a Deed of Arms. And it did indeed happen (although I was not able to get out of the booth to watch )

IIRC, Ceddie was one of the organizers.

Ahh, yes, that name rings a bell. Duh. All it takes is a few weeks away from the AA and the memory starts to fade. Bad me.

I would like to see a BIG barrier fight for this year's deed.

Video from last years deed and the deed from the previous year as well.

Sir Cedric has been one of the organizers for both years. I hope this become a reality as I am keen to join the fray again.

Want to bump this, as we are three months out and there hasn't been a firm confirmation or denial.

Is it still going on for next Gulf Wars? I, for one, truly hope so.

Its on the schedule, should be Friday 2-5 in the fort.

Thor.

Thanks, Your Grace, you just made my day.

Pay no attention to the individual in green, black and yellow there around 1:45....none at all...

I just love watching videos and seeing pictures like these.

I usually can't make GW since I use most of my vacation time for two weeks at Pennsic, but I will be seriously considering an extended weekend just so I can join something like this deed.

OK...balsa joust, AND a CoTT.

Must find a way to get to Gulf Wars!

Not a CoTT!
It is simply The Deed!
And it was the coolest thing I have ever done.

Sir Leo... The Deed alone was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it.

Nigel will be happy to hear this. Thank you.

How does the ransom work? I have heard of people being told their ransom did not cover their rank. Is there some established amount?

I really like the idea of specialized tourneys.

Your Royal Highness,

Or others, where is the fighting schedule posted for this Gulf Wars? What are the rules/customs/announcements for this deed? Is there a sponsor? I have a long way to go and extremely limited baggage so any advanced notice would help us to be able to plan for this war.

Contact Ceddie here on the Archive, he can help with those questions.

I have heard of no established amount and I have had the honor of participating both times it has taken place at GW.

Seth

True, but now we are going to charge YOU more to go back in you brute.

Per Cedric,
We will be using the same rule set as last one.

William

And what are those rules? Can they be listed here?

this is what we have used for the past two years and it has worked really well.
With a little luck, this is going to be the best year yet!


[quote]The Rules:
We are all Ladies and Gentlemen. These rules are a guideline set to establish a code of conduct for this Deed of Arms. We are all expected to follow the intent as well as the letter of the rules.

KIT
~All of the gear for The Deed should be chronologically appropriate for the 2nd ½ of the 14th C.
~NO VISIBLE PLASTIC. (If it is covered in such a way to not become visible then it is acceptable but “coveredâ€

Hey guys if I post my kit could you take a look and provide feedback on what I would need to fix/add/alter to be able to fight. I really would like to partake in the Deed.

thanks

post it up!

I'll see if I can get some images of our current rigs up for this year!

Nice rules, although imho kit requirements should be from the first half of the 14th century as kits from the second would be post date for the actual event.
Regardless lots of 14th cent goodness on the field at the same time is a wonderful site.

the thing to remember is that the years are a guideline. An outstanding kit that is a decade off will, in all likely hood, work just fine. a Century off... that might not be so easy to ge in.

please give feedback on what is needed for the kit to be Deed worthy. I plan to build greaves next and loose the boots. I also have a nice angelwing tunic that goes over the fighting shirt I am wearing in the photos.

Just a quickie question. Are we concentrating on trying to move in on the Cot30 (ala Pennsic) or more of a general 14th C. Deed? I'm pretty sure I can work in on either, but wanted to know if I should speed up my early/mid 14th C. harness to show off at Gulf. Also are there any plans for a 'group' rest area/pavilion, etc. for those of us in the deed to take our breaks and/or chat/game with our ransom'd fellows? I've the gut feeling that after the Deed that there will be a good handful that would enjoy going out for some more prowess displays as well as dicing and wagers if not chess and other games and entertainment.

Yes, yes and yes.
