Having watched opponents THIS PAST Pennsic yelling for their guys to target someone where they had no armor (initial engagement, no rhino hiding to warrant it) leads me to beleive that the idea that we all "play nice" with opponents is more talk than reality. Hmm.....no wonder our barony ...

At Pennsic, I stabbed a guy in the face. He was pissed. He said "I'm f*cking dead asshole, can't you see my sword over my head" and had his shield up, sword raised in a hanging guard walking towards me. Note to guy. You are on an open field. You had your shield up in front of you. You had ...

I LOVED it.

I wish there was one every day of war week.

This kind of thing is why I joined the SCA, and was hoping that events were like when I joined.

I can't wait to see some pictures, and it was by far the best thing I attended at Pennsic this year.

I'm a BIG fan of 360 degree engagement. I mean, it is how it is anyway, so why not just do it! I'd rather have it legal, and get a nice "take this" blow from behind, than the what happens now where if I ignore the shot it just invites me to get blasted the second or third shot. I get hit a...

I would like to offer up the following challenge from the formats given to any who would accept-

Outrance
VI. To fight, armed with throwing spear, pollaxe and dagger until one is unable to continue or the judges stop the fight. The loser to pay a brooch, jewel or gem to the winner's lady.

@ Cassiano, I am to understand that the ENTIRE skull of the bascinette is 12g mild? I hate to be so particular but in Atlantia anything less then a 12g mild construction will result in a helm with poc marks. The visor at 16g is fine. I would have another made for it if need be.
