No the tokens do NOT have to be metal. Wood could work. I am not to keen on the dowel rod idea, to easy to make them un even. But, the leather idea could work, but maybe the leather would get to expensive. Washers was an idea but I have not been able to find an outlet for them that was cheap enough....

It is simply a case of a small town mentality and ignorance running wild. AGAIN. this guy is running a home based business.

I have to disagree about being Calontir- they are one of the most cohesively dressed units on the field, and their discipline is great, but as to their effectiveness... they lack.

Don't get hit in your helmet! 2. drilling a hole in the helm will break the "resonance" of the helm (or should, that is what I have been told by quite a few people) 3. There is a "lining" or spray on coating that guys use on the inside of...
