Alf's Imperial Army

Alf's Imperial Army is an organisation in New Zealand centered on the idea of "pacifist warfare", a form of mock combat.

Alf's Imperial Army, along with the concept of pacifist warfare, was created by Ian Brackenbury Channell, who is now known as the Wizard of New Zealand, in 1972 at the University of Melbourne.

Active regiments are still present in Christchurch, Hamilton, and Oamaru, The Wizard still fills the role of Spiritual Leader of the Army.

In battle, participants wear costumes or uniforms and play roles such as scouts, magicians, witches, scribes, and photographers.

The Green Party group was led by Keith Locke and claimed afterwards that they had won since all Alf's Imperial Army soldiers died by "suicide".
