Cattle die, kinsmen die; the self must also die. I know one thing which never dies: the reputation of each dead man.

Armored Battle Scenario
Hunt
Beast of chase or beast of venery
Men-at-arms march slowly and complain loudly if they are not fed daily. Sometimes hamlets and freeholds open their stores to the hungry shouts, sometimes the forest provides. Search out the beasts of venery and the beasts of chase, but know that there are no skittish hare nor stout here; these dinners will be earned with sweat and blood, flesh defended by tooth and claw!
Form small hunting bands and collect as many game trophies as you can, beware that you do not become the feast.
Raid
Small skirmishes, rumors of great bands of armed brigands; the roads in the southern Baronies are not as safe as they once were. A small army is now required to safeguard transport of this season’s harvest. The forest is ever dark and dangerous and strong walls are hours from the reaping fields. Will the foodstuffs make it to the winter stores, the markets and the Lord or will they feed the ambitions of the invaders and disappear into the bellies of wicked men?
Raiders attempt to take two large chests from a defending host. Defenders are attempting to get them into the safety of the keep.
Banner Battle
These aggressions cannot stand! To poach our land! To steal our harvest! To attack our sons and brothers! Oaths have been sworn and allegiances pledged. Bannermen are called to a pitched battle, to determine for good and all whose claim is more righteous to these forest lands. Courage and loyalty will be tested as four great captains let skill at arms, and lady fortune, decide their quarrel.
A field battle where resurrection is allowed as long as your captain’s banner remains on the field.
