Re: 3D printing of armor?
When I was new to the SCA I tried to get a welder to make me some basket hilts. The welder had no interest in the SCA, but he was willing to take my money and give it his best shot. The resulting monstrosities were legal, but so unwieldy that I occasionally had difficulty giving them away... and I h...

Re: Heraldry: Suns vs Stars
What is wrong with starting a new thread? If you are specific in your title ("laurel branch, leaf, wreath in heraldry" vs just "heraldry question") you are more likely to get an educated response than hoping somebody reading my question just happens to know the answer to yours.

Re: Bardiche in SCA combat
First time you grab the weapon by the head and your opponent steps back, you will be glad that butt spike is there - flip out the bottom for a quick one handed jab at his breadbasket or thigh.

Re: Moving to Atlantia
The big differences I noticed when I moved from Atlantia to Middle was fewer big shields in the Middle and unpadded polearms (but I believe that may have changed in Atlantia since then, as well).

So the real question is, "Why do those who fight with a bardiche prefer it over other types of axe". Right?
