SKIRMISHING
Skirmishing is a fun, fast, and furious game of swashbuckling swordplay: a ritualised form of combat,
which might best be described as a cross between the sports of fencing and tennis.
It takes its influence from classical/sports sabre, single-stick, a study of historical and military fencing
manuals and explores the use of the sword in the most unforgiving situation imaginable (think: naval
boarding action – dear God, and pass the rum!), one where the player is placed in a position of constant
peril and is thus pushed to the limit of their knowledge, skill, capabilities and artistry.
Played with "cutlases" and scored like a tie-break game in tennis, the Skirmish allows players from
all sword-based disciplines to test themselves on an even playing field.
