thats what most guys use. my shield is actually 22" x 35", the edging adds another 1.5" all the way around. im still a good deal wider than my shield though. just in case anyone thinks differently ( i know you dont alfred) the size of the shield has little to do with the equation. i have fought guys...

dukelogan

small side of medium? thats not very clear.

in atlantia the standard is pretty much the 24" x 36" heater.

i have all the tapes. my spy network is enourmous. i am making digital copies right now so i will have some available for you. regards logan Those are actually two things that I have been working on recently, 1. Watching my oppenants sword and letting that tell me where to block (I did fairly well o...

dukelogan

you did fine. list management has little to do with your placement in the tourney. more, you should be watching your opponents and deciding your best means for attack. im still reviewing the tapes i have gotten thus far and watched some fo your fighting. you are still in a pattern of shots that you ...

bjorn, the field is open all day for pick up fights so dont worry about the quantity of fights as there is more than enough. huge battles are fun also. regards logan No problem Sarnac. Was just hoping to find some thing to fight at war that doesn't involve being in a huge battle. Thanks for the upda...

i would have used this as an opportunity to mention how stupid a very few people in caid are. but, after alarics comments i can only laugh. logan Hey I hear Alaric is good with a greatsword. Against an armed guy on his knees (I had to, man... Beer's on me next time I see you). -D

dukelogan

alaric, are you asking me out?

not sure where the comma goes in that one, or even if there is supposed to be one. either way im not sure how i feel about that.....

ahhh very well could have been in the 80's. that is just before i started in early 91 and i know he hasnt lost since i started. anyone know for certain?? regards logan We had this conversation about Micheal last year on another list and 4 people reported on particular crown lists that he lost. I was...

dukelogan

just for clarification i was referrign to michael of bedford and the question was being undefeated in crown lists (meaning winning each one entered). dont know if that changes anything you posted jean paul, just trying to make sure its clear. regards logan FYI, Patrick Michael has won 5 crowns in An...

dukelogan

i just double checked and he won east crown once, then fought the atlantian coronet list and won that, then 6 more reigns in atlantia. so its 7 crowns and 1 coronet. only thing i wasnt sure about was if he had been defeated in a crown list. regards logan im pretty sure micheal is undefeated as well ...

dukelogan

actually i defeated davin in the semis and fought duke thorin njalsson in the finals. i think stefan fought brion in the second one. regards logan e-b-o-n-w-o-u-l-f-e So as far as the best fighter sin the SCA goes- If you want, we can consider the winners of the Best of the Best Tournament- Andreas ...

dukelogan

Been too busy for the archive lately but this is a fascinating thread. I have to add something about the list of people that have won a lot of crowns: Sure Baldar has only reigned 5 times, but he's only ENTERED 5 times and is the only duke I know of in the known world that is undefeated in both cro...

dukelogan

one of the drills that we did in football (and a similar one when i was a boxer) involved locking your hands with a partner. like you were going to play "uncle". then without bringing your partner close to you try to throw him off balance. then he throws you (or tries to) then you both try. its hard...

dukelogan

ahhh so it was rattan. i was thinking that i could direct those that claim i hit hard to you if it was just silo-flex. regards logan DA, sorry man, I just re read #3. I get it. BdeB, Thanks for pointing it out. Logan, Well it had rattan core! Besides the dude is my squire and I really got him to bit...

dukelogan

different situation than the first for sure. if im fighter a i would insist that the blow not be taken. if im fighter b i take the head shot. what my opponent does is his call. as far as ever knowing if someone had thrown the first shot intentionally or not is impossible. there is no way to ever det...

dukelogan

just siloflex? regards logan Um... Just last weekend, I dented a bascinet above the crown with a wrap(thumb lead) and I was in the air, closing ground. BTW it was with siloflex. Everyone doesn't get the same memo. be carefull what you know. Ceddie, The DA post was satire. I'd worry about the constru...

dukelogan

actually, in the modern paintball sense of fun, i would enjoy watching that. probably would participate in it as well given there wouldbe enough for me to hide behind. a woods fight would be cool. in fact, if there was one every day at pennsic at the same time as the rest of the battles went on that...

dukelogan

assuming that he did, indeed, pull the blow as he saw you brought your shin up that is? im just asking for clarification bryce. one thing though, if you had not brought your shin up and his blow would have landed on target his pulling the blow has little to do with him leaving his head open to your ...

dukelogan

ta dah!!!!! dead on perfect. glad to know someone else gets it. regards logan borrowing armor that doesn't fit them borrowing weapons they can't fight with borrowing shields that aren't hung for them and then wondering why they can't stand correctly or throw correctly or etc. imo before you start to...

dukelogan

i have dented 12ga stainless helms on more than one occasion. not off of someones head so i dont know if that makes a difference. now if you want to get your friend to bet that if i can dent it he would buy you your new baby let me know, im sure we can work something out. i might want you to cover a...

dukelogan

a bunch of us (my guys) were sitting around talking about it one night while trying to figure out a lot of what are the actual issues in the sca regarding fighting and how to fix them. when we specifically discussed this i asked who (individually) would be the best targets in, say, the field battle ...

dukelogan

it has been one of the suggestions to try to settle the anti combat archery side down and to still allow combat archery to exist. sca combat has so little bearing on actual combat but, nobody has argued that the occasional arrow didnt enter the visor or face area of a properly armored man. as such, ...

dukelogan

yes it can be done. few people can do it well but it can be done. anton spoke to me about my feet leaving the ground on a few occasions. his opnion was that i was able to throw really fast shots with little power and felt that my not being planted was the cause of the power issues. so i decided it w...

dukelogan

yep. too stuffy and too elitest for me. no fun having bum! logan ive heard some things about that logan that would amaze you Yeah, I hear that Alaric is a dick. He doesn't drink anything but Korean beer anymore (he sure isn't classy enough to hang out with us classy Miller Lite drinking types), and ...

dukelogan

hmmm free pennsic huh? count me in. and when you own coopers lake how bout put me in charge of something? that way i can have a golf cart!

logan

dukelogan

the negatives will always be there. i know, i hear of one specific every day. you know you are better and you know you can help others rise above. please do so. i too can do that but i am too weak to continue without bringing extremes into such an innocent, vulnerable, game as the sca. the sca can n...

dukelogan

again mine are in bold since that sorta worked "being an actual member of the chivalry types i disagree strongly. i actually find the chivalry to be very tolerant of the uneducated. and, i find almost all of the chivalry very excited about educating those that are unaware of what the sca is supposed...

dukelogan

ill try to keep my responses all in bold to keep them clear. i hope it works! "but in reality animal it is more because of ignorance and far too much tolerance." one thing I've noticed that really stands out harshly in the SCA is the very real separation between the chivalry types ( defined as eithe...

dukelogan

but in reality animal it is more because of ignorance and far too much tolerance. the ignorance part is easily handled through education. madus, for example, are clearly out of the scope of sca combat as defined by the charter. i own a single handed spear. its about 5' in length, i hold it with one ...

dukelogan

the worst part is that the kidneys are in such little danger in sca sport combat that requiring anything at all makes little sense. but your rules in meridies probably should be made more clear.
