The Challenge[]

This is to proclaim martial challenges of single combat in the noble tradition of fighting with the sword and buckler. The contenders are

Tobias 'Toke' Wenzel and Roland Warzecha of Hammaborg.

The honourable gentlemen challenged are (in alphabetical order):


  • Scott Brown the Widefarer
  • Tim Gallagher of Schola Gladiatoria
  • Magnus Hagelberg of GHFS
  • Frede Jensen of Laurentiusgildet
  • Mikkel Pauli Mønsted of Ask
  • Nick Thomas of the Academy of Historical Fencing
  • Mathias Ullrich of Ochs


If you accept - which we have not the slightest doubt about - we shall await you at Aktiviteten at Mölndal at Friday evening of the event at 6 pm.


The Rules[]

Each of the contenders will fight three bouts against each of the afore-mentioned swordsmen.

Fighting rules There is no complex set of rules, the fighters are simply expected to consider the weapon simulators sharp swords. So a bout is won if a fighter lands a hit that presumely would have ended a fight with sharp weapons and safely retreats. As only true gentlemen are present, we believe that combatants will not need a more complex system nor judges. We are all seasoned fighters and sportsmen. If there is need for clarification we will deal with this on location.

Scoring The victor of a bout is assigned one point. Nill, if you get hit. So double hits mean 0:0. Each pair will fight three bouts. To make the first encounter more memorable, the victor will be rewarded with double score, that is 2 points because this would be the only fight that truely matters if it was fought for real. If after three fights the result is a draw, there will be extra fights until the challenge has a winner and a loser.

Weapons As we the contenders are no gardeners, they refuse to fight with things that are made of plants. But because some prefer to play with plastic toys, we will happily pick up nylon simulators if the contenders would kindly be provided with according instruments. Of course, not surprisingly, we would prefer to use steel simulators.

This martial challenge is limited to the above stated time and place. The order of fights will be drawn by lots.

After all duels have been fought we hope to have dinner with all swordsmen present. A bout's loser buys the victor a beer.


Humbly yours, Tobias Wenzel & Roland Warzecha
