# We will discourage and, in extreme cases, ban any combat system which intentionally damages re-enactors shield.
#It should be noted that Junior Combatants (those aged 16 or 17) must follow the appropriate guidance as given in the code of law. Junior Combatants are identified by a shield faced entirely in black – and MUST carry this at all times in the combat.When fighting a Junior Combatant you should avoid shield barging and similar practices. No other warrior may carry a solely black faced shield.
