Aethstan, on your point 1) I have to admit I have not though about that. I know they all get the email. 2 of the 4 are active, the other two semi. I am neither marshal nor authorising marshal, and we only have one in the shire. It feels like starting alone and from scratch. on your point 2): you kno...

How do I motivate my group to fight?
Here is the situation: About two years ago, before I joined the SCA, thze local barony broke up into two Shires, a new one and the downsized Barony. I live in the area covered by the new, incipient shire. It was a nasty breakup as far as I can tell, and there are still old resentments harbored by pa...

Freiman my friend, is that offer of crashing somewhere still good? I would like to come to a practice to learn and to fight, if I can afford it. I am a little disgusted with my local shire right now. All they do is talk and talk and do not do anything. (More rants to come on DW-Marshal List or D-ML)...

Dieterick, I will not get involved in the rest of the discussion, but was wondering: Have you ever considered offering armour with steel cops instead of plastic ones? Like, from Cet over at Rough from the Hammer? I know RFTH gives great bulk rates, and if you do a steel cop in pointed floating artic...

Since it is my fault, here is my advice: I would use the 1.5mm. !mm is too thin, sicne we are a) talknig unformed metal and b)areas hit pretty regularly. Depending on what size they are you can use a bolt cutter (Bolzenschneider) to cut them as well. Is it sheet steel or ready rods (Stangen oder Ble...

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">This is wrong. Most Japanese armour, especially from 1450 on was quite good, especially because of the further development of the okegawa dou, hokote dou, sendai dou and of course hatomune dou (nanban styles for the most part). All of these armours are solid. So...
