Yup. I fought in that 90 lb tank all day and even did some slooow pickups. My feet were really happy when I stopped for the day.

Re: 7 1/2 foot Polearm vs 6 foot Great Sword

depending on polearm blade length, I give the nod to the greatsword. The swordsman can move to midrange and have more options on strike zone, maybe forcing some strikes against him to be haft.

Re: Outlawed menpos?

My understanding is that Bytors helm issue was because the mempo was aluminum. That issue itself was settled because the aluninum it is made out of is very thick (approx .25 inch). Bytors helm is legal. If he says otherwise he is just looking for an excuse not to fight.

Re: How do you carry your back up weapon?

What suspension system works best for folks? I'd want to make sure that when I go for my dagger, its actually there, and not sliding around somewhere else on my hips, or twisted at an odd angle, or gone because it dumped out somewhere and I didn't notice. I'm doing 14th C. English. What works well?...
