The Armour Archive

I will be doing the "training list" myself.

Mostly because I want to fight people interested in "outside the box" SCA fighting. Using period techniques, and other rules such as as armored, or thrusting to valid kill area only.

Or so I'd like to.

Leo Medii

I'll take them.

Leo Medii

I'll be in the lists.

Yep, if it is the wrong size he will exchange it. I got the XL hauberk (I'm a size 48) and it fit awesome. Got the XL chausses and they were way big, and he took them back and is getting me the Reg size. No problems at all.

Pennsic vs. a week at a resort in Mexico with your wife. Granted - Missing Pennsic sucks, but I think you just need to delete this post and struggle through the pain of relaxing on a beach and drinking beer for a week. We'll take up a collection to hire someone some anonymous stranger to shoot you ...

Gregoire, look me up on Saturday. It's been too long since we have crossed blades.

You give the drivers here way too much credit YG.

I'll be there. Tell him to look for my colors on the list. I'll be holding the field all day.

People will not listen. It's funny how so many people get bummed about a completely disguised coat of epoxy while they will have all types of modern details or modern materials in use for their other gear- and I'm talking about NON SCAdians, here. You can't get anything more well-disguised than one...

NOOOooooOOOooooOOOooOOooOOooOoooooO!!!!!!!!!!!

I have two of these. They are awesome, and Grace is top notch.

Leo Medii

I wish you could come and photo some of the jousting we do!

Leo Medii

My advice to you is not to push the issue of "loss of PC". That is far too larpy a concept. Most SCA persona's aren't really persona's, but a thin sheet of canvas to cover a person's involvement in the SCA. However, I think battles with true consequence are cool. And on this point I will v...

Imagine when you are on the SCA battle field that for every person you see in a full steel helmet that there are twenty there in mail coifs, cuir-boilli caps, wat hats etc. Imagine a field where the guys in full limb armour were a sizable minority. And, as those whom I emulate did, I look for the w...

I wonder what wonderous and incredibly awesome armor somoene would have to possess to say that the above harness looks stupid.

Perhaps the person just hates 14th C armor...only thing I can think of!

Leo Medii

Checquey is cool.

Is it wrong I want to get hit with that eagle standard?

Leo Medii

Lucky dog! Good luck in Ireland Robbie! I hope you love it!

Leo Medii

This is the kind of stuff I was hoping to find when I came to the SCA. What's stopping you from making it happen? -Derian. Status quo. We do have events like this, but they are private events. Long ago, Felix and Phillipe in the Middle wanted to have an event like this, with camp combats and all ki...

I like battles where there are real winning and losings. It makes the experience of what it was like to be a medieval soldier that much more understandable. Without fear of loss, or death, it is hard to understand, or come to realize what the historical counterparts we emulate endured in their time...

Leo Medii

How about we all agree that BOTH activities can be fun, and drop all the rest of the whiney crap? . This. Not many WMA groups do full force combat and some that do don't stick to the materials they study but it is also a newish and growing hobby that will pick up with time. James, I have to say the...

It hasn't taken a header. I did say I don't know about the WMA stuff so I couldn't make a comparison and that's about it. Then why comment? Seems like old Johno knows an awful lot about things he doesn't do, and is more than willing to tell you how much they suck, or how they aren't as cool as ratt...

Helm is sold.

This one hurt to sell, but it's for a good cause.

Leo Medii

Bump!

Leo Medii

Oh wow!

Can I ask you to set aside 4 of the calendars? I will pick them up, but am in the middle of trying to purchase a horse farm for doing a jousting school, and am totally tapped until our loan comes through.

Leo Medii

It hasn't taken a header. I apologize about the Karate kid thing if that offended anyone. I am just saying that regardless of rules or not SCA rattan fighting is real fighting. I can tell by the pain I feel when I lose or if I fail to block. I did say I don't know about the WMA stuff so I couldn't ...

We were going.

Then we decided to make an offer on a house.

Now, we have to save every penny for moving.

It's a great event, and a great location to get folks from many different lands together to have some fun.

Leo Medii

I have nothing valuable to add to this discussion of who's fake fighting is better fake fighting.

Leo Medii

Need to pay for a home inspection for the new farm, will take $350 for the helm if someone can pick it up by Friday!

Leo Medii

Helm is sold pending payment.

Leo Medii

Over a maille sleeve.

Leo Medii

I will hold it for you.

Being a LARPer myself, I have to say.. when I wear armor, it's metal, and I've never seen anyone wearing a pizza box. The "pizza box" armor thing came from their website. Their stuff is pretty and generic "Renn Fest/LARP" stuff, but their descriptions are a little bit over the t...
