I had a good time The 1pm start time was good but it works either way for me personally. I do believe it was something to try atleast. I did like the qty of battles made the 2200 mile trip worth fighting. I was on the allied side and the commanders should get some credit for doing their best with a ...

Thanks

I am hoping we will do a great job for EW this coming year.

Train for the technique, not the opponent. In our game, we don't fight one person for the big prize, we fight 1000 people to tell the tale as a prize. I agree fully with Brion you are a fighter your height being short or tall has its advantages and dis advantages. Myself I learned a lot about fight...

Yeah I think we needed one more battle on Fri & Sat, time frame of how long the battles were much different than I expected. The most awesome things this war to me were. 1. The Weather excellent 2. It appeared everyone fought hard, and everyone had a great attitude. 3. The parties, with the weather ...

looks sweet!

If one battle makes it a CON get a life!. That battle was just a fun idea, not a LARP idea... so save your fireballs and get a life. You know there are some real issues in life to bitch about than one Zombie battle at Estrella. And people ask themselves why we are dwindling in membership....maybe it...

Awesome list and yes another vote for video. Some great people on the list sweet ol sweet. I did get a chance to see Brion and Gregor doing pick ups at Pennsic, also got to fight HG Gregor. They both look sharp didnt get a chance to see anyone else at Pennsic fighting :( Best luck to all Craven Aten...

The pictures are great, I will need to find the ones from our baronial 40th we had some cool artifacts too. What I thought was interesting is the similarities of the items.

It saddens my heart too, Kolfinna was a good friend & knight. My prayers are with Sven on getting through this. Those in Caid, my well wishes too cause I know she was a loved person and there is no doubt of why in anyones mind that who knew her. I will bring my mug to GWW to raise in honor of our fr...

I think most of the general lefty stuff was posted already but here is s tidbit tha maybe helpful. I switched from a heater to a centergrip round 26" cause I couldn't really throw that much offensively. Or should I say I was limited by my sheild, throwing shots. Trying a round at a war doing singles...

To me if the western fighting conventions of killing from behind were adopted it think it would make more issues of engagment clearer. We all have different cultures, but I just feel it would be safer than what happens at Pennsic. BTW this is just an observation, rather than saying one is more right...

I noticed the normenclature differences too, I was watching it with one our regular students. But basically we both agreed it is the same thing just toomatoe vs toematoe LOL. The quality of things well hell it is a grassroots idea and a good one at that. When people take the chance to put themselves...

CosmoCraven

Theo, you need to come to our Monday night practice it is more of a structured practice.

In Atenveldt IMO Duke Newman, Duke Trelon for SB, Duke Aaron and Sir Keigan for off weapons oh an this guy called failure.....seems to be teaching a lot around here.

IMO each are different and cool for their own reasons. Pennsic Good= Green site, actual castle front and woods battle, more parties, more pick ups, longer event. Bad = fighting conventions prevent a more intense fighting, less battles Estrella= Intense fighting, more battles, close to home Bad= less...

It is an honor to take the field with gentles as such here, noble men. I was not fortunate to know Her Grace as much as I know Val, my thoughts have been with him in this difficult time. When I take the field at Pennsic my thoughts of the Grace of men here will be inspiration to me. Thank you for th...

Good quality of videos, and some good fighting.

CosmoCraven

Good point your Grace never thought of that myself. Craven The issue isn't really whether or not a properly functioning shafted arrow is safe or not (because those probably are), but rather how UNSAFE the defective ones are and how damaging they might be that is the issue at hand, because even defec...

I have been using the canvas method for the last 2 years and like it better than paint on alum. It seems to last longer and I feel more freedom painting it. The way I have been doing it is, Elmers wood glue staight, rolled on then applied one layer of canvas stretched over the saturated sheild. I al...

If there is one picture of fighting that has confused me the most it is this one.... and I vote ninja over cabbage patch :P Craven possibly this move was "AHHHHH" <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_aymgPnELe8o/Sba6BuaUnwI/AAAAAAAACyQ/9aghWFpNWG4/s800/n503447771_1501987_830421.jpg">[/quote] Is that a sp...
