I was once asked "your Majesty, just how hard do I have to hit you?" to which I looked bewildered and said "ummm when" and the answer was that I had been hit with a walloping Poleaxe shot to the helm..... I never even felt it... ( I trust the man who questioned me ) I apologized...

Me, I'd go with the "reputable" seller. I know when I buy from Icefalcon, I'm getting what I ordered, and he stands behind it 120%. The allure of saving a few bucks in shipping does me no good if the item never comes, or the quality stinks. I own all Icefalcon maille for these reasons. YMMV.

I've seen quite alot of talk about the armor factorbeing a contributor to the perception of rhinoing...

One of my guys had a spear broke on his nads at Val Day. He was a bit upset, not because of the shot, but because it was the second one in as many rez's from the exact same fighter.

I am of the school the less armor you wear the better you get and the more honestly you can identify shots.


That is what the SCA armor standard should be anyhow. Civilian clothing with a leather coif and gloves.

I wear armor because I'm not a serf.

What strikes me the most is that they all have great kits in pretty much every video. I wonder why their medieval fighting groups can pull that off but here in the SCA we cannot. Is it just a matter of motivation? Rules (that allow em to field so many despite restrictions)? Availability? I dunno. I...

I would like to get this going in the Middle.

How did he choose the breastplate? The rest of the armor is the stuff I am trying to put together (arms, shouders, legs) but the breastplate I have seen with the style is very different. Was that from his romance armor?

I have to say, just when I think I look pretty good, or pretty cool, I get to see the pinnacle of the art and it gives me something to wish for. Wow, that is awesome stuff. I have to say I liked Toby's black armor more jsut because it was so dang evil sexy. That saddle in the back is INCREDIBLE!

I agree about the force, but that is the difference between skilled swordsmanship and neandertal clubbing with a metal rod. I think if they were trying to kill one another it would look much differently.

I did notice a lack of spears as well. I guess they left the serf levy at camp! :twisted:
