I kind of think that'd be related to how rich the conquistador in question was. If he could afford it, durn straight he'd have a backplate. *I'm* getting one, in any case.
As far as the LH thing, well, that'd require spare time. HAHAHAHAHA

And if you don't like that, welll, there's lots else to do--even if you can't fight you can still fence--anyone can do that and you don't have to worry about being hit--and they'll let you shoot people with rubber band guns, so you don't even have to learn to fence if you don't want to. That was un...

Alfred, I wish to engage you in polite debate, without arousing ire or foul blood, with my only intent to stimulate our intellects through discussion, even if we disagree.

From what I understand of some of the Cut & thrust rules (please correct me if I'm wrong) ... No hard percussive strikes. (nevermind that a cutting blade must hit in a percussive manner in order to work) Partially. No *HARD* percussive strikes. The blow must still percuss. No points are awarded for...

I should let winterfell respond to this first, he's Atlantia's cut & thrust deputy. But I'll give my opinion, for what that's worth. >>>-Can you use two-handed weapons in this?

Achilles VS Hector: m Ok, that was pretty cool.

Good basic set of 14th C Knees?
With articulation, please. Anybody got any good sources? Looking for a decent set of basic knees that I can build my own cuisses & greaves on to.
Nearing completion for my 14th C set!

Whew! For a while there I was afraid there weren't any other Rugby players about! No, you're not the only one.
