they are being assembled soon. once he has them in stock his site will be updated. youre a little wee fella right? if you, or anyone, is interested in completed suits you might want to let ice know some measurements size-wise. he can better answer what sizes he will be carrying soon. regards logan W...

im currently capturing some more video from my collection after a very long break. i was hesitant to copy the tape i have of me (and about six others though i do not think any of them have played in years) my fifth or sixth time in armour. this would be around 1990 - 91. it is the first tape i have ...

glad to hear. the local guys involved with the local fighters is a problem as much as the crew of marshals that think its a bad thing to say no to anyone. i know they exist, ive heard them say it to me, ive seen the results. sadly they do a greater disservice to those that are not ready, or able, to...

dukelogan

thank you brother for those kind words. i happen to agree of course! this process has been a long one, a very costly one, an annoying one, and now a very satisfying one. i feel, 100%, that all kinks have been worked out and im very happy with the final product(s). and dont forget, everything we carr...

we are finally fully stocked! if you are awaiting an order for an aluminum hilt i have emailed you requesting a shipping address confirmation. if you have responded to that email your shipment is on its way. if you havent gotten an email from me please shoot me one so that we can get your order ship...

atlantia has done authorizations at "official" practices for years. im not a fan of those at all since ive seen far too many fighters at events that clearly didnt have a clue. when i would ask them how long they hade been authorized and where they did it the answer, too often, would includ...

dukelogan

oh my god (and little baby jesus)! hard face thrusts?! surely you have broken necks, whiplashed folks, broken their teeth, and all of the other deadly injury type things those who suggest light taps are the only safe way to thrust to the face (not to mention those who think the human head is like an...

dukelogan

sure we do, according to the rules. do we hit that hard? i have no idea if we do or not. ive never hit someone with an actual sword. perhaps you have, i dont know. what i was commenting on was that our rules suggest that we are to strike with blows that would kill or incapacitate someone. regardless...

dukelogan

an authorization can only be held at an official sca activity. for an activity to be official it must be published in an official newsletter or on a recognized website (and anything else the kingdom requires). regards logan Can you get authorized at an unpublished practice? (I'm rusty, and don't rea...

dukelogan

well on the subject of "official" practices i see zero need for them and nothing of worth in having them (save the sites that require insurance although i would simply go somewhere else). the paperwork trail alone makes the idea of an "official" practice not worth it in my opinio...

dukelogan

not sure what you mean. logan And with what consistency do you kill or incapacitate anybody.... really.... Is that how you call your blows? I think not! Thor- the guy with a spear embedded into his skull to any degree, i think, would probably be removed from the fight. i sure would be. now lets see ...

dukelogan

well when you cant seem to land anything hard enough you sometimes have to suck it up and throw a thrust to the chin as hard as you can. i threw two, both landed, i won. so i guess it can be said that ive won a crown with face thrusts. ya know, with that getting out there and the machida/couture fig...

dukelogan

yeah i know. not enough of a hoop to encourage membership. the $5 non-member fee might be though. logan actually it hasnt been called "red tape" for over a decade. the easy solution is to simply do away with "official" practices. ive heard of a scant few exception in which a site...

dukelogan

at bsr two years ago i was pulled aside during a hold by the commander of the midrealm (hrm at the time if i recall) to tell me that the mid fighters were getting pretty steamed because they were touching folks grilles with their spears and they were not being taken. i wasnt sure what the agreed upo...

dukelogan

of course not. but if i did face thrust, which happens once every 10,000 blows or so, i would throw a hard and solid one.

logan

dukelogan

Regards of local convention I refuse to ever try to best someone with a touch kill thrust or a light tap. I will always attempt a solid thrust to the face and Solid edge blows. Regards Logan ps when using my new smart phone it automatically capitalizes which is how i sent this originally. it was fun...

dukelogan

i agree, i dont want to have to hit folks with all my power either. i should be able to without worrying too much though. if someone is wearing properly fitted armour i can. ive also never advocated full force face thrusts as the way it should be done. i think we are looking for the same thing (alth...

dukelogan

the guy with a spear embedded into his skull to any degree, i think, would probably be removed from the fight. i sure would be. now lets see someone do any damage with a spear by merely touching someones skull. that is the problem. now add a maille drape on top of that and the concept of light or to...

dukelogan

just got word that our shipment is finally ready to pick up. i will be doing so tomorrow so the sale ends as soon as i get back and update the website. all orders, including those aluminum hilts, will be shipped out friday and saturday.

finally.......

actually it hasnt been called "red tape" for over a decade. the easy solution is to simply do away with "official" practices. ive heard of a scant few exception in which a site owner demanded insurance. i would just move it somewhere else. then again i have no issue with requirin...

dukelogan

your assumptions are very incorrect. only a few sca kingdoms accept touch "kills" from face thrusts. i have never had to play by those rules thankfully. do yourself a favor and ask questions instead of assuming. i am curious why you think a period sword was so fragile? i have never heard o...

dukelogan

oooops, i meant to ask what you meant about grilles. "by your account grilles didnt exist"? not sure what point youre trying to make. regards logan How do I know? I don't, and nether do you is my point. At times you like to call it a game, and at other times you like to throw out the (it's...

dukelogan

when did i ever say getting a hard thrust into the occular didnt kill someone? i never have, even though plenty of folks have had this happen and live. granted thats with modern medical attention and not simple prayers or other supernatural attempts. dont assume that every thrust to the face in our ...

dukelogan

how do you know? i have little doubt that i can swing a period sword at a period helm and disable someone. ive knocked folks dizzy with rattan hitting 12ga ss helms with far superior padding. ive heard tons of stories (not that i buy into 99% of them) of folks getting "knocked out" by the ...

dukelogan

ive seen it and many dozens like it. funny, ive never seen a headline "man gets poked lightly by sharp thingy to his face and dies". well, ive heard some folks in the sca insist that is reality, ive just never been able to find it. just like someone punching something or someone with an ax...

dukelogan

good point. so let me ask this then, who decides who is going to be the bye fighter then? if its about being "fair" i guess i would not be that fighter because of my skill level. so is it some cat who is terribly unskilled? do you find a happy medium? no lefties? how do you ensure its &quo...

dukelogan

did they also teach you about fat guys? what about guys that live 6 hours from the event vs those that live 1 and can sleep late? what about guys with jobs that have to work at night? what about new parents who are so frazzled they are "tired" before they even show up? what about older guy...

dukelogan

bye fights suck and were created by non-combatants in some delusional dream that told them they make sense. destructive byes are the devil and have no place in our society. if you get a pass you get a pass. if you are forced to "fight" a bye just yield. its stupid, the whole thing is stupi...

we are considering carrying paracord for those who buy our lamellar. now, the question is "how much". how much paracord is needed for someone 6' 200lbs? about 500 plates. anyone know how many feet are needed? second, i figure black is a no brainer. i have a supplier that can offer me a lot...

what is the measurement of the gap between the "bars" on the helm you have pictured?
