Murdock

is the rest of the movie as bad as the armour in question

Murdock

are they really hiring?

i'm broke as hell and read a couple books

Murdock

Some of us....

like those that do the 30

we could do that.

Most of their gear is not really better, it's just all cohesive.

Murdock

Mike Lowdes of the Royal Armouries, has done a significant amount of research, some of it was shown in "Arms that made Britian"

His findings? In short, armour worked real good.

Welcome

It's a wonderful place

this sounds to me like there are some people getting a softer stainless alloy out there.

You have to sand _a lot_ to reduce that much material off a helm.

Now it might be over grinding at the wields but this sounds like it's just a softer alloy

Murdock

run for 20 min

burns lots of goop off and it doesn't take that long

Murdock

if only i had ze $$$

Murdock

if the pork loin and pumkins i have cut with the albions is any indication.... it takes very little power to cut straight through, far far far less than a "good" sca blow course we're supposed to be wearing mail and a gamby. That makes it _way_ harder to cut people. Swords are made to cut ...

why won't babies sit still and not try and kill themselves!!!

Murdock

Want to fight, get to fight whatever

Long as there is at least 1 guy and some armour for him to wear i'm good

Murdock

one thing i have been thinking of doing is trying to do the display written about in "how a man shall be armed"

the food and weapons and such, bring that to every list and melee

Murdock

What makes a good practice?

lots of people showing up that want to fight

Murdock

" I think it is very funny that many of the people saying we need a rule about plastic being covered say so because they WEAR COVERED PLASTIC bits " umm most of the "ban it" voters are not plastic aficionados i've met most of em. Only plastic i wear is a cup, and i voted ban plas...

"OK, a while back I offered to legislate away visible blue plastic. I was met with a few "hurrahs" and a few "nooooo!'s"from the KEM's." Good, do it "The Pro's: Authenticity baby step. Better atmosphere." True "The Cons: Recruitment barrier to new people....

grow stronger

Murdock

is it gonna explode the first time it's hit??

Murdock

"Murdock, a man of your quality cannot fight in just a padded coat. If you don't have maille by then, I'll have some to loan you." That is a noble offer indeed. While Murdoch is a man of quality, Scott is of lesser means of late, though i do have a well loved butted shirt. It is not of the...
