Re: 2015 Kit Resolutions!

make my travel kit a bit better looking. with all the costs associated with flights going up I can't afford to use my heavier/normal stuff anymore. Unless at an event I can drive to. That kit is sorted, but the lightweight kit needs some work. Oh yeah, and just get off the couch more.

You guys need to find someone willing to come out and play with William. He is a great fun fight and a really cool guy!

Re: Backfists Highlight

Sad panda, can't watch the humor, since the all seeing GEMA doesn't like the music on the video. Although seen your backfist a few times. One would think your opponents would be a bit better prepared that it might come out at least once. :D

Re: Drachenwald Crown Tournament

It was a great tournament. It was very close for who would be in the finals against Lief. William and Atli had to fight it out. Everyone won at least one round. I couldn't be prouder of Tofa. She did well in her first crown list. I had a lot of fun being a consort. regards ThorvaldR (who didn't fight)

Re: Tuchux banned from Pennsic?

My experience is that the Tuchux have a gang/pack mentality. When off the field they are "relatively" reasonable people. When on the field they turn into a pack. If you grab a leader and tell them to get it under control, they do. I wasn't there last year, but in general I have to agree with Nissan....

For ease of assembly and the portabity/weight you are asking for. I would say you can do 14th Century With an Angel wing Jupon that hides all kinds of hidden armour sins.

I love me some Ravine Battle.

And what the hell, I can't find a squire's tourney. Did I miss it or is it not happening this year? I am bringing one of my squires from Germany again.

Haldan, you may have noticed that there really is no consensus. The consensus if any is that at first blush, any reddish belt will draw an assumption. Individual reactions to finding that assumption wrong vary. I think you know my view on this but for other's edification, red is not reserved in "mos...
