Re: I want to learn more about Polypropylene swords!

Re: Weapons "Borrowed" off the end of a Bridge at Pennsic.

Aethelmarc was on the other side of the bridge (fighting for the East). The fighter that took it was fighting for the Midrealm, same as we were. Yes, weapons disappear all the time, but I've never heard of them walking off in the middle of a bridge that we were fighting on and not come back. I hope ...

Re: Weapons "Borrowed" off the end of a Bridge at Pennsic.

There are groups that Pennsic that intentionally steal things. It sucks, but its true. I've never had a weapon disappear from the middle of a damn battle before, that was a new one. Lesson learned I guess.

Weapons "Borrowed" off the end of a Bridge at Pennsic.

This Dane Axe was stolen off the end of our Bridge (Middle's far left) during one of the battles, along with a greatsword (that was later recovered.) Please keep an eye out for it. It has a rattan clacked head, a tennis ball buttspike, and is wood burned / stained on the haft. One of our guys saw a ...

ZOMBIE THREAD!!!

Just an update:
Count Amos's poly stick finally broke last week after 4.5 years of constant use. Mine is from the same batch and still going strong (however I lost several months to back surgery and started using the stick a few months after Amos...so call that 4 years.)

Re: The War Shouldn't Be Over in June

Good post Falcone, with one correction. The war was won with phone calls, starting in November.

Lots of smart folks have posted lots of good points on here. It's up to 'the powers that be' to give a more of a crap about everyone having lots of fighting fun than they do about winning.

Re: Back injury and fighting question.

I second Egoscue and if you go to Pennsic you need to talk with Paul about. I avoid spear in a flare up because of the rotational stress on the back. I have found sword and shield to be the most protective for me, personally.
