"The gorget doesn't work. It's not SCA legal. "

I'm pretty familiar with that gorget design

how is it not legal?

Is it not legal, with your helmet? or is it something else.

Murdock

Murdock

"Newbie Longsword wanting advice against S&S"

hit them first

Murdock

With all due respect to everyone

STOP ARGUING AND POST MORE PICS!!!

Murdock

All i'll say is that DV's joints are too soft imo.

Do not skimp on your helmet and guants. Buy the best you can afford

Murdock

and this thread needs more pics and less griping!

Murdock

"it's the way it has always been." But that's just it it hasn't always been "that way" The SCA, esp the combat rules are _always_ changing. I can't even count the changes i've seen in my tenure. Everything from elbow coverage and inline thrusties, to new throat protection rules a...

People know i sell Revival stuff, and have asked me about this. So here ya go. All i can say is Brian and Ann have been great to me and mine. He is my friend.

Murdock

old threads m m #1 Iain's top secret super rig to make you all just give up and quit now ...this project has been stalled due to the original splints not hardening and i can't get the new ones done. It's literally done except for that. Waiting for heat treat :X several parts are heat treated Globose...

Murdock

Still working on stuff Trying over and over to find a new heat treat option. The loss of my heat treater is mainly what has really slowed completion of stuff. I have HUGE pile of stuff all metal worked up, just waiting to heat, temper, polish and strap. Details are kinda irrelevant. I may also bee t...

Murdock

I use the ubiquitous low boots

On dirt grass ect? I like no vibram, maybe get the bottom wet.

Murdock

I've now fought in a blizzard

a hurricane

and a sand storm

as well as normal weather

Murdock

I've been going sinccceeee like 95??? 94??

Haven't missed one yet since then.

You have any specific questions lemme know.

It will be cold, it will be wet, it will get hot, it may hail.

It may be muddy.

Murdock

Lamalar popularity,imo, is primarily because of the ease of construction and SCA effectiveness.

IN some places leather lamalar vests are dang near issued to newbs.

Historical accuracy is likely an after thought.

Still

looks better than hockey pads, so i'm not complaining

Murdock

that is my primary tactic when fight pole

bind

grab their pole

stab with dagger

Works good....cept on people who you know... are actually good with a polearm.

Like Stephen, Keg that bunch

Historians are shocked to discover that it was quite common for men to fight women in armed combat during the middle ages.

Umm i don't even think the armoured rose folks claim it was _common_ and they've been doing the looking.

Murdock
