I gotta agree with Murdock... I am only a fringe wrestling fan...but the first time I heard HHH's theme song "Time to Play the Game" by Motorhead....it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Also Ace of Spades is a good one. I Stand Alone by God smack Ride of the Valkires..... Carmina Burana...

If you think for one minute that my decision is going to influence anyone in the know....you really dont know how things work.

Marshals already have designated tabards....

They are black with large yellow crossed swords on them and they are very easy to spot...

In the midrealm...that is fine..

There is no edging requirement except that edge must not destroy the rattan...rolling the edge is acceptable for this.

any shield can be taught to defeat a spear.
once you pass the point...they are almost defenseless unless they run away. I am only one or two steps away from killing most spearmen.
The spear is a most (if not THE) Knightly weapon!

Well...there were 4 that I know of and thats enough for me.

No... I will NOT mangle my helm in such a way.
I shouldnt have to...but shafted arrows are legal so I will not participate during those battles.

This is strictly a personal decision based upon a situation I deem to be unsafe.

I am not trying to influence any policy and only wish to make my intentions clear so as to explain that there are people out there that do feel like this.

modifying a marshaling helmet to protect during C/A

I have an old British WWII helmet that I use during marshaling....how could I modify it to protect my face during C/A battles?

I was thinking of attaching a lexan shield but that would suck and look crappy...any other thoughts?

Not participating in Combat Archery Battles

In light of the recent rash of injury reports and helm penetrations of "legal" combat archery ammo, I have decided that I will no longer participate in any battle scenario that allows any C/A ammo other than golf tubes and tennis balls. I will not require my squires to participate as well, however t...
