Description
The Blades of Andúril focus on mobile group tactics and individual ability. This allows us to win when the odds are stacked heavily against us. By flanking, backing, and being more mobile then the opposing line it is often possible to plunge them into a state of confusion which makes them easy to kill. This is mostly accomplished by having veteran fighters who can pull and hold several of the opposing forces fighters. By forcing the opposing side to send more then a single person to fight a single flanker the odds for the main force improve. If the veteran fighter can stay alive and the main force moves quickly it's possible to quickly reverse the advantage. You do not need to be a veteran fighter to be useful. There are still many ways to make one person count for many, regardless of level of experience. The blades of Andúril are our team of fighters for national events and as a result are trained to be more competitive fighters. One benefit of joining up is that we'll do our best to make you proficient with whatever weapon combination you choose to use in addition to teaching you about how to fight with or against a group of other fighters. Membership as a blade gets you free garb when you've been around for a while so that you can come to events with us.
