Inspired by the Nordic Battle Gaming scene in Finland (Sotahuuto), the HVN decided to use home-made boffers for the Melee Games at this years HEFFAC event. It was fantastic fun, and I hope we keep these sorts of padded weapon simulators for minimal-gear group games from now on.

Warning: Boffer fighting can be habit forming and is not, strictly speaking, historical sword-fighting. If you practice fencing with boffers for extended periods of time you may experience detrimental symptoms such as decreased interest in edge alignment and loss of adequate body structure. If these symptoms persist please switch to an appropriate historical fencing training weapon and consult your nearest HEMA instructor.
