On Saturday , we wake up , eat breakfast, and head to some nearby woods. After warming up, and training any new members, the event organiser briefs us on the plot and the units head off on their own.

Two units meet in the woods, and peaceful negotiations begin...

On Sunday we all slowly wake up. Sometimes there is time for some fight training or Dark Age games, then we tidy the hall and head home. But soon there’ll be another one!
