Actually there have been several bridge battles at Pennsic. They simply make
two parallel lines of hay bales. The lane in between them denotes the bridge
and the bales themselves the railings. Anything on the other side of the
bales is considered water, and if you fall over the railings you are assumed
to have fallen in and drowned, pulled down by the weight of your armour.
Being at ground level makes it safe (or as safe as heavy fighting usually
is), and there's no need to build anything that has to be stored.

In service,
Corun
