Friendly reminder that War Camp 2026 applications close August 1st. Make sure to submit your application at www.lynxargent.org/event-details/war-camp-2026 before the deadline.

About the event:

Assemble your retinue and join the war camp! We will have two opposing mercenary companies camped in different areas, with a day full of skirmishes and scenarios to follow. Night raids, ransom & capture, open field battle, ambush & scouting scenarios, and more will be played out, fully unscripted.

This is not a harnischfechten event, this is a combination of reenactment, milsim larp, and live action wargaming. Harnischfechten kits can work, but full harnesses are limited to one knight per team and all kits should be optimized for mobility and ease of wearing versus sheer protective value.
We trek far out from any modern amenities and from any modern lighting or roads. Pack in what you can carry, and only carry what you need: bedroll, water bottle, weapons, and armor. For those of you who don’t want to sleep rough and carry in your belongings, we will also have a base camp that can be camped at.

Disclaimer: Event attendance is subject to approval and participation in one of the primary lances (or combat in general) depends on the participant’s ability to demonstrate understanding of the rules of engagement and willingness to agree to the social contract of the event. A participant’s unwillingness to cooperate with the social contract will result in removal from the event.

Sir Ryan kicks off our series of posts featuring our Knights, and it makes sense to begin with one of our Founders and the architect behind La Campaigne du Château. Stay tuned for more features.
