Lamellar is a type of armour made of plates that overlap in two directions, the direction that you have the lamellar overlapping differs if you are on foot or on horse back.

Lamellar can be made of a variety of different products, mainly leather or steel, it is a good trade off between protection and mobility.

Archers

Archers or Lights often use bows(though there are a variety of thrown weapons), in combat these bows have a maximum of 30 pounds at a 28 inch draw.

Archers have similar armour requirements to those of heavy combatants and are distinguished not only by the weapon that they are holding but by a clearly visable plume on their helmets.

Archers when used correctly can be devestating and there have been several battles that prove this fact very well.

War

'''War''' in the [[SCA]] is an interesting sight. Battles can have any number of people and can take on a number of forms.

Often some natural feature, such as a creek crossing, or a man-made structure, such as a wall of hay bales is used to make things more interesting. Wars may take on various scenarios, or have different objectives for each battle. Others are run more like a "choose your own adventure" story, known as a [[story board war]], where each war scenario leads to a different outcome.
