Re: Pennsic War Champions
I agree. That would be epic. I hope HM Middle can wrangle them up! b It would be Epic to see Finnavar, Laurelin, Eliahu Talimar, Moonwulf, Alen, etc... meet my champions. The men that helped show us the way and built Pennsic. Our Giants. Where they live today matters not to me. Or spring them from ...

Re: Etiquette on the war field
For border skirmish I had a banner made with the arms of our employer and our own. Coming in from the left you can see it carried in the forefront of the short battle. I like to fight banner and club.

You are English for the CoTT? I will make you a weapon. People you hit will frame their entire lives by before they got hit and after, when they were changed men.

Re: Icefalcon 2" speartips
Nissan, what did you think of my point. I am interested. Still waiting on my donut too. I think the flexibility of the spear makes a difference, even in the first millisecond. Heres my reasoning. Kinetic energy is carried on the vector of the thrust. The more less flexible the shaft the more energy...

Re: Icefalcon 2" speartips
Rattan the same diameter as fiberglass has a lot more flex, generally speaking. More flex = more forgiveness on shots. I disagree. It's all the same for the millisecond of impact. Also, rattan has much more mass. I am with you on the mass of rattan but as for the flex, bad SEM, no donut. The energy...

Slide step into range and something to make them sword block. Slide step, check. What do you attack to get the sword block? Throw to where they would have to blind themsleves to shieldblock.

Swords in my dominant hand give me about 6 good weeks of two pactices a week. My off hand about 8 or 9. Thats why the failure of the polypropylene sword experiment in the midrealm makes me so sad.
