Women and War

Ladies, you are welcome to be a spectator, but if you choose to be part of Saturday's battle, you have several choices. 

If you do not intend to carry a weapon, you can be a nurse or a water carrier; just be warned that you could be shot.  If you intend to participate in the paintball fight, you can join the few, brave women of history and dress as a man on Saturday*.

 *note:  If you are a character who will be dressing as a man and fighting on Friday, please wear your "pre-war attire" and dress in ladies clothing for Friday night.
