One of the primary Amtgard activities. A common variant of a ditch battle.

A Ditch Battle is a battlegame without Class, without armor, projectiles, or (in theory) Role-playing. Its primary purpose is combat, and the practice thereof. Any melee weapon or shields may be used. By tradition, Red Weapons do not destroy shields in a Ditch Battle.

In the Militia variant, projectile weapons are permitted, as well as armor. All other normal ditch rules apply.

Some outlying kingdoms also permit the use of bows in Militia Ditch battles.
