I'm personally getting bored with our practices lately. Its always res melee, zombie, then usually Kill the King and we're done. Lets mix it up. Post your own scenarios you'd like to try out in a practice. Might even end up in an event.
Battle for Narnia
This is mainly a resurecrion battle. One side is the dark creatures of Narnia, the other is Aslan's Army. Each side selects one fighter.
The dark side's selected fighter is the White Witch who can carry only one blue, OR two green only weapons. When the WW kills a fighter, that fighter stays in place (instead of resurrecting) with his,her sword on head or sit down etc to signify being "turned to stone." The objective of the Evil fighters is to turn every enemy to stone.
The good side's selected fighter is Aslan who carries no weapons into battle. That fighter is a healer. He/she must stay in contact with a "stone" fighter for 5 seconds to unfreeze the fighter and that person rezzes where they stand, not the res point. "Aslan" cannot kill any enemy other than the White Witch. If Aslan touches the WW WHILE ALL GOOD FIGHTERS ARE NOT STONE, he/she cannot move from Alsan's touch. If Aslan is in contact for 10 seconds, Aslan's side wins. If the WW or Aslan is killed by any normal enemy, they take 15 seconds to res.

The ones of mine from Warsong and recently that seemed to work real well were Artifact, Magic Cache, Troll, Wickerman and Zombie Dance. I can write out the rules for these I suppose. But, I just got a what.cd invite and I'm engrossed.

Got 2 more:
Dual Duel Gauntlet
2 teams form lines. the first person in each line duels every person in the opposing line, only moving to the next person after beating the first. When that person defeats the last opponent in the line, he/she goes to the back of his/her line and the next person on their team goes through the gauntlet. First team to have all its members finish the gauntlet wins
Over the Edge
Scenario for small groups of fighters. Every-man-for-himself style melee inside a large ring. When you die, there is a 10 second res where you stand. If you are pushed off the edge in any way, you fall to your death and remain dead. The last person in the ring wins.

i thought of this one. Its a drill. BUT i dont think it would feel like a drill.
You start with however many teams you want and however many you have enough people for.
One person from each team is a commander. He stands behind his team and gives them orders for fighting formations, which fighters and where to break off, flanking, etc.
This can be done with no rez or you can give each person a set number.
The commander can have weapons and can fight but only as a last resort. He is not allowed on the line with his team.

sounds like "kill the king" with people listening to the king. in general i think we need to practice giving and taking orders though. we as a realm tend to do our own thing and are thus not very disciplined at bigger events

thats what the drill is all about. i never said that the goal of
the drill is to kill the other teams commander. its supposed to
give people a chance to learn to command in fighting and teach others to take the commands while fighting, to teach us to better trust each other on the field.

Drills are good, people. Fighting is fun at practice, but if you don't work on individual skill and unit cohesion, it's not much fun to fight at events with other people.

I tried to have a drill at the last practice I attended but people complained a lot. I think when I herald practices I'll try to do one or two drills at each practice even if only for a short time. It's a practice because it's a time to learn, not a free mini event that only we know about.

we need drills that actually help us. i'm up for doing drills but we need things we'll actually run into. I see the 3-1 drill as practice for one person who is outnumbered, not 3 people against one good fighter. what is the Warlord tourney?

the 3v1 drill isn't meant to help individual fighting skill, it's meant to teach the three fighters to work together and keep in a line properly.
Warlord was held at Ragnarok this year, it starts out 1v1 the loser joins the winner's team, next round it's 2v2 the losers join the winners team, and so forth, the one who doesn't lose is the warlord (team leader) and has to give out commands. We could try this as a regular scenario though. No one gets kicked out of the tourney everyone gets to participate until the end.

but its too easy to kill that 1 person. its better to have 2 opposing teams and just focus on field direction. "What happens in Vegas" is a better scenario to teach teamwork and communication, I think.
