Note for those too dense to get it: The preceeding was a joke. As in a farcical work of humour. It is most definately NOt a reflection of what i percieve to be the normal MO of crown lists in any kingdom. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the people who compete in such an important event...

(though, to my knowledge, ...

My take on: "Section VII 11. Rattan shall not be treated in any way that will substantially reduce it's flexibility (e.g, treated with wax, resin, fiberglass, etc.)." there have been enough rewrites with this language on the books that if we didn't want glue used, it would be clearly stated. The fac...

My #1 strategy is to hit them before they can hit me. I have no problem discussion my style, strengthes and weekness with anyone before or after a fight. the way I look at it, "the guys who know what I'm doing can see it on their own so why try to hide it and those who can't see it need to learn how...

Here is an updated review of Brent's work: I have been fighting in my gambason if Fl heat for about a year and it is still in GREAT shape! I have a little wear from the elbow rubbing and one of the points needed to be touched up a bit with a button hole stitch after about 9 months of attaching my sh...

David, can you help me with a question, what are the primary sources for the counts on the layers in the jacks?

Jack -The multi-layered (20-30 layers) linen coat of the 15th century soldier.

thanks.

I'll try to get in touch tonight.

Don't go with the short. I have one attached to my wife'e bascinet and it is fine for a small person from the BOTTOM of a helmet but to come from the crown would be too short.

Trimaris allows them.
If it is used in an unsafe way, I'll deal with the user.

That is a very nice bascinet. I wish it were a bit bigger... and I had some extra cash.
