Three marshal’s tents will be set up near the main battlefield for Inspections, Combat Archery and Marshals’ Meetings.
- The Inspection Point tent is the site of all on-the-field armor, weapons, and thrown weapon inspections. Lost
items left on the field will be brought to Inspection Point, and eventually, to Pennsic Lost and Found. - The Combat Archery tent is the site of all missile inspections and contains the box for errant arrows and bolts.
- The Marshals’ Meeting tent is the site of the Marshals’ Review after each battle and the Marshals’ Meetings before each battle. It will be used for any marshal meetings or marshal gatherings.
INSPECTION POINT
Hours of operation will be from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm, starting Wednesday July 30, 2025 and running daily until 15 minutes prior to the start of the last battle on Friday August 8th.
Inspection Point will remain open during battles provided there is adequate staff to run it. Otherwise the Inspection Point tent will close 15 minutes before each mass battle, and 30 minutes before the Woods Battle, to allow time for everyone to get to the Battlefield on time.
A pop-up inspection point will be open Saturday, August 2, in the Bog at the Pleasure Pavilions from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.
There will be NO in camp inspections this year.
Rejected weapons and armor may be reworked and presented again for inspection. No marshal will tell an individual to fix a piece of equipment and, at the same time, pass it assuming that the necessary changes will be made. If it is a piece of required armor, the person must be completely re-inspected, and must mention the issues raised in the previous inspection. A roster of failed inspection will be kept, and fighters being re-inspected should make sure their name is removed from it.
Armor that has passed inspection will be marked with a sticker or plastic tag placed on the right side of the helm. This sticker/tag will have the entry tag number of the inspecting marshal and the inspected fighter. Weapons will be marked in bright paint. The inspect ion sticker and tag remain the property of the Pennsic War and may be marked through or removed during a battle as an indicator that the fighter may no longer participate in that battle. Once so marked, the fighter must present themselves at Marshals’ Re- view after the battle. The Review will decide a proper course of action, which may include issuing a replacement sticker. Fighters who refuse or do not attend the Marshals’ Review may be excluded from future Pennsic War combat and will be referred to their Kingdom Earl Marshal for further action.
