24.01.2022 We are pleased to release our new Player Handbook and Rules. The new look Handbook, we feel our best yet, is thanks to Michael Vansleve. This project is the result of hard work by our team, Warband leader committee, Chapter organsiers, and play testers over the last 12 months with lots of debate, trial and error.... We tried a lot of different approaches but in the end decided to largely go "Back to the Future" with a more Warhammer feel. The rules theselves will be pretty familar to our players (they are almost the same as those from 2 1/2 years ago) with tweaks around armour calculation and spread, some extra bonus HP, and the incorporation of our new monster and magic rules. Morale is largely replaced with the species and an entry level costume bonuses. A separate Magic book for wizards will also be available soon. Have a read, talk to your warband leaders, and we look forward to seeing you on the field soon! https://www.swordcraft.com.au/rules Jeff Krins President The Swordcraft Team

23.01.2022 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TOMORROW NIGHT We will only be able to accommodate 7 to 8 teams across the 3 ovals this Friday (with 1-2 teams having a bye each round). This means that there will be a player cap of 192. When we reach that cap, ticket sales will close (we are already getting close). We will be playing a round robin tournament across 3 separate ovals (Western, Ransford and McAllister) with 50 player caps on each and 1 match at a time on each. This has been cleared ...by City of Melbourne and DHHS. The only toilets available to players and crew will be the Ransford oval toilets - not the usual Western Pavilion ones. There will not be any changerooms available. The Return to Play Protocol will be published later today with detailed covid-safe instructions. There will also be a "traffic manangement" document to ensure that as people move they are maintaining social distancing and know where they are meant to be at each stage. We have take this approach to ensure that we keep our players and crew safe. While we know that lots of memebers of the community also want to come and watch, we ask that spectators be kept to a minimum to help us manage the games in a covid-safe way. The Swordcraft Team

Sunraysian re-opened on Monday, Ballarat and Bendigo this week, Gippsland on Saturday, and Melbourne is re-opening next Friday!... So, Melbourne Swordcaft back on 4 December! Melbourne is holding off until next Friday so that we can be fully prepared with our Return to Play Plan, our equipment is checked, our team is ready, and our players have plenty of notice. Melbourne Game passes will be extended (add 8 months to the expiry date on the game pass). All players will also need to pre-purchase PAYG tickets each week as we minimise contact.

This will be on our website shortly. 2. From 1 January we will be extending our insurance cover to include personal injury insurance for players. So if you are injured at our games from that date you may be eligible to put in a claim. 3. Melbourne Chapter is reducing its pricing immediately to $12 a game. 4. We have a new warband creation and registration process with support for aspirants looking to start. 5.

15.01.2022 Swordcaft Melbourne Chapter Hi everyone With Melbourne emerging from lockdown and other states close to normal, we are keen to restart Swordcaft Melbourne.... Brisbane chapter has already been running for some weeks with covid safe protocols and our NSW and SA cousins are following suit. Victoria is still a bit behind but hopefully we can restart soon. We are currently developing our safe return to play protocol in conjunction with City of Melbourne. While in theory we could restart this week we are adopting a cautious approach in Melbourne to keep people safe. For those with game passes, we will be extending their expiry date for the duration of our hiatus. Announcement to come when we have a reopening date. During our hiatus we have been developing a new Swordcaft National Registration system with additional benefits like personal injury insurance. Stay tuned. We are also looking at how we can support new smaller Swordcaft groups in Greater Melbourne and Geelong to provide for local groups closer to people's homes which will further improve people's covid safety. If you are interested in getting involved in a local Swordcraft group we would love to hear from you - send us an email on info@swordcraft Jeff Krins President

13.01.2022 INTRODUCING OUR NEW PERSONAL INJURY INSURANCE Good Morning Swordcraft, Commencing January 1, 2021, Swordcraft will be introducing a new personal injury insurance program for our players. This will enable you to make a claim for injuries sustained during the game, covering all players who have signed and agreed to our T&C via our online ticketing system for our games or events - for the duration of the game or event.... Some of the key benefits included with this insurance includes dental, fractured bones and temporary disablement as a result of bodily injury during our events. The wellbeing of our community is of the utmost importance to us, and we’re pleased that we’re able to provide this safety net of sorts for you all should the worst happen. We will be updating our website shortly to include further details, as well as information on how to make a claim should you need to.
