I vote yes...and its no dimpled chad, I can tell you that!!!

Can we drop the silly sticks and get back on topic...???

sarnac

I know that this tactic differs from area to area, and sometimes unit to unit...

How does your area or unit deliver a pulse charge?

sarnac

I thought about that a while back, but the largest size I could find in white is 3/4 inch I.D.

sarnac

The brand name is Silverline
and it comes in rolls of black tubing in 50 and 100' lengths.

Here: geocities.com/ulfberth/Leger1.htm JT the Editor here: Because the GeoCities site is bandwidth limited in a nasty way, and because the Archive generates a lot of traffic when a link it put up, I have made a copy of the web page listed above, and placed it on the Archive at leas...

Several times this year at Pennsic...specificly during the Bridge and Pass... I noticed fighters falling dead, and falling forward...no problem there.. however...after "dying" they would get up and push their way through our shield wall to leave the field..if they got hit again they would freak out ...

Dalewyn...Um....I live in Canada and I get the Siloflex from Home Depot or Canadian Tire...

Email me off the list about sending me the rods...

I buy it at Home Depot but I have seen it at Lowes and Canadian Tire too...

It comes in rolls of 50 and 100 ft.

sarnac

I use 1/4 inch Luan flooring....you buy it at Home Dept in 4 X 4 sheets...(its the sheets with the little green "X's" on it)cut it in half, then laminate it by gluing the two 1/4 pieces together in a shield press....add a slight curve to it and in 24 - 48 hrs "wallah!!!" a nice, fairly light shield ...

sarnac

Vitus....I do not think we are arguing the viability of spear as a Knightly weapon in period....it seems though, as you like to point out so often..that the SCA in general doesnt always follow in the footsteps of their counterparts of old.. The tourney is the primary place for a person to gain a rep...

sarnac

I use a 24" wide by 29" long center boss ... it is one of the most versitle tourney shield I have ever fought with... My fighting improved by leaps and bounds when I switched to it from a heater.... any way...what Ive done for the handle is taken a oak dowel, and used a dado and flattened one side o...

sarnac

once agian....is this going to be persued because I would like to try it and present it to our earl marshal....

sarnac

has the armour been sold yet???
and I was wondering why you didnt respond to my email..

sarnac

how heavy and what hand???

I have a 50# left handed bow that I want to sell..

sarnac

I took charge of the second aluminium order from Carolina Stamping Co.. Here is how it went.. I asked for commitments from everyone who wanted plates.. I put together a list of people and their amounts of plates I figured out the amount of plates and the cost per plate and had all the people send me...

sarnac

with shields...if a shield is permanently attached to your armour it becomes armour..
therby loosing its SCA style invulnerability...
if it is strapped on it stays a shield.

I plan on trying short spear and shield this summer...
it sounds like fun.

sarnac

Adam...dont cut your self short...you requite yourself well as far as I am concerned... Now the question comes up..."should we only use the term Knight with personas that would have used it in Period?" If I am ever graced with the good fortune to be elevated to the Order I will never be called Knigh...

sarnac

Damn Vitus.... Every time I turn around you impress me more and more... Your words are infomative and inspiring... Yet we all have our idea of what makes a Kinght... I for one believe that 70% of being a Knight takes place off the field... In the actions and conduct of the person... The other 30% is...

Hi there Adam..

How much would an SCA version of this helmet cost if I might ask???

Also the brass looks awesome on this kind of helmet...I wnated to do it on the one I made but never could get it to look right.

sarnac

Richard...yes you are correctly informed .. I recently won Ealdormere Crown Tourney.. Now on to the question... Do I feel that some one who is an outstanding Melee fighter but cannot hold their own in the tourney list could be considered for Knighthood... the simple answer is ...no. the long winded ...

sarnac

All it means to me is that I have 3 feet further to sprint to club them like a baby seal...

sarnac

Did you see the pics of the one guy fighting Duke Paul with NO leg armour at all!!!

sarnac

is anyone gonna persue this???

sarnac

I will tell you my experience. I used a sandblater (actually glass beads but whose counting) on my helmet. It had rusted to hell after the Pennsic of Downpour... so I took it and took all the padding out and blasted it clean. It gave it a dull but very uniform finish. I then buffed it out with three...

sarnac

When you say Han Dynasty plate, which one were you referring to ??

sarnac

NO....All weapons in the SCA must be from rattan of miniuim diameter...rattan cored siloflex being the only exception. I would be interested in trying a just under one inch piece to cover with siloflex...can you get this?? if so how much? [This message has been edited by sarnac (edited 11-11-2001).]...

sarnac

drakken...holy cow man...nice to see you here.

For those that dont know him..this guy does great stuff. I have been wearing a pair of his Knees for two years now without one failure..ever. They are still like brand new...

drop me an email...I need to talk to you.

sarnac

Draconis Combine???

sarnac

See ....you've got it all wrong to begin with...

You can NEVER have too much armour!!!!

Pics would be nice though...

sarnac

That is correct..
I also heard that the finals were held in the dark...???
Why didnt they move inside or into a lighted area?

sarnac

Congrats to Sir Darius Orientus who won Easern Crown for his Lady Roxane..

He bested Sir Andreas Eisfalke in the finals.

Vivat to them both.

So now both the future King of the East and the future King of the Middle both have Roman Personas....this will be an interesting War...

Pulse Charges in static battles...

The Pics on this site are Incredible

A Question of Melee "ethics"???

Eastern Crown
