Re: 7.5" unpadded glaives at kingdom crusades
For this model, assume that (force=mass * acceleration). Sorry to interupt here, but we've touched on a bugaboo of mine. Force is not what is important here. Force is a measurment that takes place over time. What we want is Kinetic Energy . That is a measurment of force of impact at the exact point...

Sounds cool, JP. Almost* makes me want to throw together a 1390's harness of my own... I'm no expert on the armour of this period, but I think I recall hearing that splinted limb armour was pretty much phased out by this time. I could be wrong; maybe it depends on your location. You need a hauberge...

1390's Kit... advice wanted
I'm starting work on a 1390's kit (want to be able to play in the Pas's) and I've laid out the following (using Maelgwyn's neat guide). Can I get some guidance/advice on the appropriateness of the following rig for that time frame? If necessary, lets set the location to France. Location What they wo...

Geoffrey, as someone who's going to be there , worry not. Guardian is a great tournament, and tons of fun. You'll get seven good fights regardless of your win-loss record. As for calibration, contrary to the other persons advice, if you have a question, don't just take it, ask your opponent. Almost ...

Overreliance on any "shot" is gonna get ya gacked,especially at high levels. Any shot you can deliver when your opponent is expecting a different shot is going to have a good probability of working.

Duke Jean Richard (here on the archive), switched from right handed to left, and won his second crown some time after that. I don't know why he made the switch. He says he became a better fighter. He was a natural left hander, but they started him out right handed (something about no left-handed sh...

Re: [SCA]Gothic War! Knightings, Centurions, Optios oh my!
Then later in the evening, in a deft manuever of court-fu that would have made Jackie Chan's jaw drop, Their Majesties announce that Centurion Owen will also be joining the chivalry, with his vigil to be held Friday night of Mooneschadowe Guardian. Dumb question perhaps, but is this 'our' Owen? ~Wi...

The Optios are also tasked with assisting the Centurions upon the field. The insignia of the new awar...
