NESSEX MILITIA
n the Kingdom of Nessex, each hide of land is responsible for 1 militia man for the defense of the Hundred, Law and Order etc. 20% of the militia can be called up for up to 2 months service each year in the army of the King or his Earls.
- The basic militia man must have a shield, hunting bow and spear, with a saex-knife as a back-up weapon, and is trained to fight in a shield wall. As they are experienced they will add armor and better weaponry to the mix. Of late, a portion of the milita has taken to using a bill or long spear in place of shield and short spear.
- In any given body of Nessex Militia, 10% will be class A, 20% class B, 40% class C, and 30% class D.
