Re: "Midway" - A new ongoing LARP in Dublin

Looks interesting.  I've done both larp and airsoft, and was quite
interested in the idea of combining the two.

I have a few questions:
Is there likely to be any provision for the use of bows or thrown weapons?
What sort of ammo limits are likely to be in play?  A melee character isn't
going to stand a chance if there are people out there with hi-caps.
