Just curious.

Owen - Recently on the History Channel they excavated some bones from some of the arenas and the Roman Arena and found that the bones belonged to women....
They tried to assert that these women were female Gladiators....while that could be poosible .....they did not prove their case beyod doubt.

Amen Hush...(can I call you Hush?? http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/wink.gif ) there is no reason to berate or abuse someone who doesnt agree with you... that is counterproductive.

Syr Rhys: I think it behooves us doubt *everything* written in period; their track record for reporting things accurately is *terrible*, especially when it's someone's enemy writing it. Then I truly doubt wether or not the chronicles that document who used archery are correct... If I am to follow yo...

Hushgirl....

Well thought out.

Sir Richard....
Your choice of words (choosing to call me friend) honours me.
I will think of much of the advice and wise words you have spoken during my day of thought and reflection.

Thank you for your well wishes.

Umm...I was actually talking to Sir Richard...

Relax Syr Rhys...

We arent ALWAYS talking about you.

And its my OPINION...so whether I agree with you or not is irrelevant

ok my 2 cents are very similar to what has been said.. Tournaments are just that... announced as such... Melee's and other grand melee's are tournaments as well...just on a grander scale and more participants...so I agree... set rules...no archery etc. Pennsic...is a War..Estrella is a War..no matte...

Damn Juliana....

Have I told you lately that I love you???

You Rock!

what lobes were you describing again???

Im sorry what were you saying??

Another reply from one of the Archers from my Kingdom... The other position to take is that combat archery as we practice is so limited in comparison to the real thing (range, number of arrows that can be carried,armour requirements, etc.) that one CA arrow hitting a fighter is already the equivalen...

They do indeed...

They have bazzar tents which, depending on the size, house 20 to 30 merchants...each having 1 or 2 tables..

Call now because that space goes VERY fast.

I think the biggest contention in some of the other threads is this... Is it tournament or is it war? wellby somes definition, because there are rules...it must be a tournament... ah ha but we are all just doing this on weekend and need rules to govern our combat so we can go back to work on Monday....

sarnac

Rhys: You, in your desire to believe that anyone who disagrees vehemently with you must, by definition, be evil or arrogant or whatever other perjorative you choose in your own mind, think I'm taking this stand just to be right. No...actually I admire your commitment...I just dont agree with it. I t...
