War field Equipment

This is NOT a rules list, the use of this equipment is ultimately the decision of Marshal in charge and the independent risk evaluations of each fighters

Types of Equipment

WYSISWYG

What you see is what you get, this should be considered best practice for making war equipment
its easiest to navigate around bits that are physical, without needing to explain what it does

Substitutes

Much easier to change, and set up, with a lot more diversity than WYSIWIG
each scenario will need to be explained

Hybrids

Can be used both as is or as a substitute for other purposes

Hybrids

Hay Bales

many wars use Hay bales, they are movable and solid enough to cope with our game uses
generally speaking a single stack of hay bales can be stood on and fought on top of, double stacks cannot

can be used for

boundaries
barriers
seats
platforms

Uses

use as a substitute
bales are incredibly versatile eg.
Using hay bales small end to end created a good barrier or edge for bridges, paths or walls
marshals will need to make it clear if you can throw or shoot over the barriers, stood on etc

Use as WHSIWYG
or used as is, or what you see is what you get

stacking bales like bricks allows for a higher barrier - it can be unstable and be pushed over either plan for this with a marshal watching ready to call hold or allow for them to be pushed over as part of the scenario

single isolated bales can be used as benches or seats or steps

bales placed long end to long end can be used as raised platforms adding a board can protect bales from fighters and fighters from gaps in the bales
