Re: Northshield Crown

The not living in Northshield part would be the first of many insurmountable barriers to your hilarious idea. I do live in part of the Midrealm which is disputed, called the Midlands by The Midrealm and Guntherland by Northshield, But I still don't think they'd buy it.

Re: Anatomy of a good sword thrust in SCA Heavy list...

Wrist strength is more important for the thrust than any other shot. Striking in line with the center of your target is vital to avoid glances. If you are fighting very round people the axis of the thrust must be in line with the core of the mass.
