An alternate set of rules is used by the New Varangian Guard Incorporated at their events. The NVG combat rules can be found on http://www.nvg.org.au/.
as used at Maldon 1989
These rules have been superseded by the rules at http://www.coppergate.com.au/conferention/combat/combat.shtml.
I have been unable to locate any published rules for either of the Maldon Conferences in 1985 or 1989. I suspect the contemporary NVG combat rules were used.
