How do you guys work the buckle? I use a military chinstrap like you can buy from Ranger Joe's website. Are the cheek pieces to be padded also? Anything that can come into contact with the head has to be padded. Right, but if your chinstrap doesnt allow contact with the cheeks then they dont need t...

I saw a helmet at An Tir / West last year that had a Norman top and nasal with standard SCA back/side plates... Only difference was the bars/sides/back were all painted black (or blued somehow) and the top part was shiny steel. From 10+ feet away it looked like he just had a Norman helmet on.. I had...

Umm, no it doesn't. Umm, well it used to! (thats my story, and I'm sticking to it!) ABC's require 'some give' on mace heads. That is still pretty liberal, but those axe heads wouldn't qualify. The only version I have access too (off antir.sca.org) says 1/2". I dont fight with them much so no biggie...

No padding is required for maces in Antir? (since the back of an axe can be used...) Hmm... the rules say the head of a single hand mass weapon must have 1/2" of "Progressive give"... and I'm not finding anything in there about the back of an axe being a mace (I know it WAS in there before)...

None. We had a knight that was coming for a while, but I think he dropped back out of the SCA again..

Oh yeah, there was another knight who came one time, brought both of his squires, and spent the entire time standing on the sidelines telling them what they should be doing to try to beat us.
