West Kingdom--Armored Combat:Change log

2026-10-01T16:49:09Z

ArabellaDaSiena: /* Changes to our kingdom rules */

<noinclude>{{ChapterInfo|{{NAMESPACE}} - Rattan - Handbook|35|Change log}}</noinclude>
==Changes to Society rules==
*[[Armored_Combat:Change log|Changes to Society Global rules - Effective 22 September 2026 (approved June 23, 2026)]]
*[[Armored_Combat:Change log - 18 November 2025|Changes to Society rules - Approved 18 November 2025]]
*[[Armored_Combat:Change log - 23 June 2025|Changes to Society rules - Approved 23 June 2025]]

==Changes to our kingdom rules==


December 23, 2025 - The following are changes in the West Kingdom Handbook from 2016 to 2025, and are presented in two sections:
#Changes from West kingdom specific rules (i.e. kingdom rules in addition to the Society rules)
#Key changes in Society rules from 2016 to 2025. For additional details see the change logs in the Society marshal handbooks for 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025.

===Summary of changes in West kingdom additional rules===
#Re-organized West Kingdom specific rules into the new Society handbook format.
#Added all allowed kingdom specific rules from the 2016 handbook to the new Society handbook format. They are denoted by "West Kingdom additions..." and highlighted in blue.
#The following kingdom specific rules were removed or edited:
##Minor authorization - A parent or legal guardian must now be present. This removed the requirement for a marshal with an SCA-approved background check if no parent was present.
##Removed the "helms as worn" option.
##For senior marshals, added that the requirement for prior authorization in heavy combat may be waived by at the KEM's or Kingdom Heavy Marshal's discretion.
##The process for heavy combat authorizations was updated.

===Summary of Key changes in Society Rules form 2016 to 2025===
Functional changes only. Does not include minor wording changes.
#Marshals Handbook v2018
#*Updates the language to remove references to royal treaty, a term nowhere defined in Society law or policy
#*Adds a section to describe the role of marshals conducting inspections, specifically with regard to liability issues.
#*Updates to the Sample Armor Inspection: adds "off-the-head" helmet inspection, and clarifies inspection requirements for other areas.
#*Combines the phrasing for groin protection to be simpler and not specific according the gender.
#*VI.F.4 Remove the word "gloved" from the second part of the rule, as the current rule indicates a glove is required on the shield hand though it is not required on the weapon hand.
#*Remove the word “signed” from the phrase signed "signed blue membership card" as the Society does not require a signature on a membership card as proof of waiver.
#Marshals Handbook v2021
#*HandBows - max increased from 30 to 35 lbs
#*All bows - minimum poundage was removed.
#*May now fire a crossbow while carrying a pavise, but may not draw and fire a handbow.
#*"Asgard APDs" replaced with "Commercial APDs"
#*All references to siloflex replaced with HDPE pipe
#*Change to rivet specifications for primary helm construction. Removed iron rivets, and redefined spacing.
#*Kidney protection: additional instructions on coverage were added, but was removed in later versions.
#*Clarified that Zoombang and equivalents were only padding, not rigid.
#*Requirement for lanyards may be waived during melee.
#*Defined haft and handle, in regards to rattan diameter.
#*HDPE pipe/APD materials. Changed from 100 or 125 PSI to 100 up to 160 PSI.
#*Glossary - Added "Ulrich" to the definition of List field. Removed in later versions.
#*
#Marshals Handbook v2022
#*Rawhide added to prohibited method of treating rattan.
#Marshals Handbook v2023
#*Groin protection change. Only required to protect testicles.
#*Removed "separate breast cups" rule.
#*Single-Hand Weapons Change. Thrusting tip resilient material changed from .75inch to .5inch.

#*Rules of the List - updated Nov 2024, included in the 2025 version.
