Re: tent

Wall, wedge, rectangular marquees and rounds (the latter two usually with sloped walls) are all acceptable for mid-late 16th C. I know the wedge at least goes through Henry VIII...

I've got a used tent from Midwest Tent that I don't use, and would like to get rid of. It's a 12.5' round Midwest Tent, with non-removable walls. It's dyed blue and yellow, though the blue has somewhat faded to a royal blue. I have all poles (including the side poles from unfinished 2x2s), ropes and...

Meyer translates amazingly well, though you have to adapt it for the whole "having a shield" thing. It's got wraps and everything built in to the system. :D

Sword and shield? I am sure yes with greatsword and bastard sword but not a single handed broadsword. I'd be impressed to see that done effectively.
