'''Mixed battles''' are [[war]] battles that involve both [[heavy fighter]]s and [[light fighter]]s, e.g. [[archer]]s. During these battles, lights are allowed to kill heavies and each other (using their [[bow]]/[[arrow]]s, [[throwing axe]]s etc). Heavies are are not allowed to strike lights. Instead, they must approach the light at 5m and call "My lord, you are slain" to kill them. |

In the Kingdom of Lochac, a distinction is made between heavy-only battles and mixed battles. Mixed battles are war battles that involve both heavy fighters and combatants authorised for other types of weapons, e.g. fencers, siege weaponry, archers (which in some regions are still called light fighters). Some of these fighters may wield both melee and missile weapons.
The rules for mixed battles differ from the standard rules for heavy-only combat due to the additional weapons involved. For example, further restrictions may be made on the minimum armour requirements in order to protect combatants from any combat arrows. Likewise, heavies may be prevented from striking lights. Instead, they must approach the light at 5m and call "My lord, you are slain" to kill them.
