I have to give a nod to Dominus and his Romans (Atlantian Territories). I've never seen a bunch of guys pulse-charge/res/pulse-charge/etc for 40 min straight before. It was inspiring! Who hail from the Aratari Dagorhir ... and thus Dagorhir demonstrates itself yet again as a bona fide fight club, n...

The Spear is the Empress of melees. No one may deny her puisssance.

It depends on the mission. For instance, tower sheilds are overkill for open field skirmishing, but vital in static line engagements.

Overall, combined arms units that practice together regularly are the most effective.

Replies: 39

Belegarth is a spinoff of Dagorhir, circa 2001. Nearly identical game rules. An almost pure battlegame with hardly any hardcore roleplaying. It IS a good workout, for many different reasons. I enjoy fighting without a large encumbrance of armour from time to time. I feel light as a bird compared to ...

So if on horse back the upward slope could be preferable in light of weapon strikes from unmounted and mounted opponents.! Aye. Glancing blows up and away from the horse/rider is far safer for both than downwards. I salute you all for your passion and dedication! Well then, take time to salute your...

A lady on the (bearer's) left is no lady at all. They emphasize this in cast training for RenFaire (at REC). AFAIK, it was only for walking around.

The plates that overlap upwards are designed to shrug or glance a strike from a lance tip. Think jousting as opposed to combat upon foot.
