I guarantee, it wont cost as much, as if buying a Knutt welded Titanium shirt. Believe me, I know first hand. :p If its anymore than $200, then not worth it for our sport, if its less, I could see a use for it, specially for voiders and the such. Like Sean said, I would be a hypocrit, if I said ther...

You sure about that?

I could of swore, the first reference to Celt was Greek and then later used by Julius Ceaser, in his writings from Gaul.

I could be wrong, and thinking of another word, but could of swore that was the first time folks see the word.

Have to agree active marshalling is BS. Check the rules, last time I did, the opponents call the shot, not the marshal. Your opponent called good. Thats it.

If I remember right, Rodrigo was at Warriors of History this year at Pennsic.

His whole kit was amazing, cant remember if he won for kit or not. For some reason i think he did.

I was really impressed by this helm and the kit he had to go with it.

Ah, the days of myself and Syr Black Kane O'Shannon, taking aluminum and bending it on our trailor wooden steps for knees, elbows and cuisses. Then going in the house and making garb by cutting out pattern and ducktaping the seams, instead of sewing them. :)

Actually I am not the one to ask on that yet. I still have to put mine together. But several folks on the archive have them, and is the reason I got them. Plus I know several folks personally that have them and have checked them out and put on their sets to try first. Which is why I have gone to them.

Actually, since AEthelmearc went kingdom, it might be split or we fought with East more. Would need to dig up some info for it to be sure. But I am pretty sure, we have not fought with Middle more since going kingdom.
