I was asking about this about a week ago. Last year talk about the Historic combat series didn't start til about June. Might ask Gilebert if he's gotten anything yet in the way of requests for the field..

Sir Corby's own "stealth gauntlet"...

Angusm0628

m Actually, that shield is covered in canvas and then painted with our household device.. Granted it's the same blue, but when I was putting this shield together with the owner, it was decided we would cover with fabric then paint as the paint would stay to the fabric and not the plastic alone... B...

If this is an EK thing the Tuchux don't have to do a thing. They are not EK. I haven't seen a rule that says that its a Pennsic thing, either. Not sure bout this one Nissan...There may be some leeway for Pennsic but Trystan has come out and said "If they don't meet Aethelmearc Armour standards...

My understanding of this whole thing is the SEM had a meeting with the Kingdom Earl Marshals last Pennsic what it came down to is this. The Society Earl Marshal has asked each Kingdom Earl Marshal to take steps to "clean up" the battlefield. He has left it up to each Kingdom Earl Marshal t...

I for one do not think the law is good. My kit passes my households fighters kits pass. I just spiffed up my gear right before this stuff hit to be a good example. Now it doesnt mean as much because it required. Why does it not mean as much your Grace? For me my kit was a show of personal pride. Wh...

Far as I know Animal's on it from the Aethelmearc War Practice thread. I gave him an email addy to get some clarification.

Angusm0628

I've heard this argument before between Maeryk and Mord..However it between Mord and Jehan Del Pelham which started over Jehan's choice of words. Those words being "Bearing proper Harness".. It's a non issue right now cause well the East has pretty taken the exact same position as Aethelme...

Checked all the usual places. No business card to be found..

William is right though, she's usually merchanting War Practice. I suspect she will also be at the Eisental events as well. I always see her booth when I'm doing events over there.

Angusm0628

I think she's up in Endless hills. I think my lady has a business card of hers laying around... I'll see if I can find it..

A good looking kit does not have to be expensive. A good looking does take time and effort however to get there. Take I'll use my kit as an example shown here m This photo was last summer. I spent about $400 over the course of 12 years for that appearance. Then I changed it up a bit for the Combat o...

So how is the rule going to be applied to Egg's plastic mitten gauntlets? I have yet (5 pairs of full metal gauntlets and counting) to find a pair of metal full gaunts that work with my unique/strange thumb articulation. Stephen I'm gonna guess the Egg gauntlets as such will be safe. I have serious...

All of them will, soon, one way or the other, as this comes from the SEM, and from what Pad said, was a "either you do it, or I'll make you do it" sort of idea. Nahhh Really I realize that is the "law of the land but if one takes a look at Trimaris' current appearance rules and compa...

Angusm0628

So how many Kingdoms have an appearance rule in effect? Further who has links to them? I have Trimaris' Atlantia's Aethelmearc and now the East..

Just curious enough to read them and see where the major differences lie.

We had a big discussion on this subject over the Aethelmearc Marshal's list. If you look at what Matt posted, it's pretty much word for word what was handed to us by Sir Trystan (See the Aethelmearc warpractice thread by Aengus)... During the discussion, the japanese armour such as you see with Yama...

Wasn't there a "bowling ball test' done at one time to measure force levels? Was that a reliable test? I only ask because I heard someone talk about it about a week ago after practice... Back in an old TI there was an article. take a 9 pd bowling ball set it on a post at shoulder level. Draw a...

Angusm0628

I've never given myself a scale to go by. I simply have a standard level I throw at.. Some folks require a sub-standard blow to call it good. Other require an above standard. If I had to put a scale to it, I would say I throw 5's (middle of the scale) and adjust from there up or down.

I can hear the wails and lamentations of one guy I know from here... He stated in no uncertain terms he would wear what he wanted as armour and nothing would change that... He and I had a long argument over this. Turns out he lost after all...

At some point is a marshal going to bounce him for not making an effort at wearing medieval armour? Yep, Aethelmearc just went "No exposed modern materials" with only a few exceptions. So one of two things are going to happen, He'll try to game it by painting the plastic to make it less o...
