Braveheart (Hardcore) Style Battles

I am hashing out details on the thread Skullcrusher needs you thread, for a true medevil style battle. Basically, all special skills and magic not in use, no potions. Die one times and that is it. Here is a sample of my idea discussion that we are working on:
1. Both (or all three) meet up on a giant open field on opposing ends of the field. Guild Leaders would setup their players in a old style formation. Sword and board in front, duel wielders in the middle, archers in the rear. Mage classes have to wield melee or ranged etc etc.
2. Guild Leader would meet in the middle of the field to make sure both sides are ready (I am not sure u can do whispers, or could be on teamspeak i guess) We would go over the rules (no magic, no flanking or leaving the immediate area to sneak from behind, no stealth no special abilities, just like the old days, fight with honor to the death, one time, no rezzing etc) Kind of like a reenactment.
3.Sword and board charging from all sides (like the wall of death, archers not allowed into the initial fray) Once all parties clash, then the fight in on.
I think you get the idea. This would give us a sense of the challenges of medevil combat utilizing the basics etc etc.
It would be better to have some GM refs or have special skills temorarily disabled for the event. We could make multiple runs with different rules. Maybe the grand finale being all skills enabled and u use magic and well, play the way we currently do. Main thing is to keep the battle in one place and not outflanked from way away.
So if you guys have connections or we can figure out a future date that we can work this out with the GMs that would be great. I'd rather take some time planning this out for awhile so it'd be really good. Ideally I wouldnt want outside parties coming in and trashing our planned event, because I would really like to see how these battles were in days of old.
Ok, well lemme know, hopefully we can make this happen, in like a month or so.

Chryos✭✭✭✭Mainly battle takes place on flat ground, nothing but swords, shields, bows. No horses no special anything, straight up left/right/both mouse button combat. We will be working on this on Skullcrusher in a remote location. So if you see us, please leave us be, we are working on something bigger with small trials. It would be nice to get some GM ref's and we have many ideas. This would be a cheat free battle, just for fun, not for points. If you would like to see what the discussion is about then drop by the thread Skullcrusher Needs you (AD).
