If you haven't seen, Natalia has posted the english translation of the rules for the Battle of the Nations. I am creating a page over at the Schola Saint George web site for the rules if you would like to read them. I have heard they are also posted on the Armour Archive but I haven't seen where yet...

Tabernacle, That's great. We understand the need to plan ahead. I have spoken with several local travel agents about setting up some sort of group travel, perhaps it will result in a lower price. Keep an eye out we will be holding at least one event in the US to train and work with the combat conven...

Brandr

I will find out about the specific material requirements, if any.

Trystan,
Can you please see that he gets the information? I am afraid that I don't know him.

Thanks all

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to let you all know the result of my video call with Natalia and Anton the organizers of the Battle of the Nations. We spoke for nearly an hour today via Skype. Here is the information I have learned. They have asked me, Jason Willis, to be the organizer and contact poi...

I have received more information from Natalia, the International Coordinator, about forming a team and participating in the event. On thing that the Battle of the Nations organizers would like to do is have a seminar here in the US to promote the event and to discuss rules, regulations, and combat s...

Thanks.

We are still learning all the requirements Owen but it is likely that you may be right, however, that does not prevent you from supporting the national team or being a part of experience. There is going be a good bit planning & preparation stateside before hand and you thoughts and input would no do...

As many of you have probably seen by now, in the Ukraine a medieval style tournament is being held between the teams of several countries and known by the name "Battle of the Nations". It happens that the organizers of this tournament would like an American team to join them. Some of my friends and ...

Natalia is correct we have. Interested parties can view or even join in the discussion on the forum page at http://www.scholasaintgeorge.org . All discussion on this we have intentionally placed in the Open forums. Come join the Amerian Team for Battle of the Nations! Over there my handle is JWillis...

I am in with 2 more guys here in Little Rock and possibly a few more from Dallas. We are holding discussions on the forum of the Schola Saint George ( http://www.scholasaintgeorge.org ) site in the Open category if you are interested. We also have Natalia participating and giving us more information...

Just because I think having these two peices of information together would be extremely useful. Here is a link to Cian of Storvik's page on how he made his reproduction of the Mary Rose Lantern . The part I like about Cian's design is that he includes how to make it an electric lantern but it would ...

Now that Sir Vitus is an excellent idea.

I would be interested in larger panes as well.

Wow....this is a blast from the past. I had forgotten it. I find it very pleasing that Conrad remembered it after so many years. Thanks! 1. I dislike the fact that after 10 years in the SCA I still use a mundane tent. Hey I get to check this one off! The wife and I got a spoked-round from Revival.us...

Do you have a picture of the back side?

Brandr

I am interested. Sending PM.

LOL Looking good isnt enough, is it? No, it isn't. also remember you are not trying to beat out a ground ball to 1st base while wearing cleats, you are closing distance in armor while wearing turnshoes, take shorter controled steps. All I tried to do was lunge out of line to hit someone. My right f...

I noticed the lance standing outside the Darkwood Armory tent in the merchant area one day. I couldn't resist coming up and looking at it. As I stood there looking at it, a number of fighters came up to look. It is an impressive weapon. The phrases written around the base just above the recess were ...

Those sausages are like crack. I had one every day I was there. I gained 4 pounds - no kidding. The sausages do rock! I didn't have one everyday but most days. I became quite enamored of trying a croissant with the various jams & jelly samples that were there. Those were good! :mrgreen: The horses ...

Brian is still working on his doctorate at this time and it is my understanding that there are no plans to publish a pattern book at this time.

Brandr

I have dreamed of this myself.

I have a on of the buckler styles that Windrose sells (originally bought it from Mandrake). I use it for heavy and have used it for rapier. You want to get the one of thicker material if are going to use it for heavy.

Excellent these will go nicely with the knees I got last time.

Thanks

Wow....looks interesting, wish I was at Pennsic to take some.

Nice work. A beautiful weapon.

So where did you obtain the plastics?

Hmm...I need to search your other thread as well.

Brandr

We did something similar one time, though more of using the chinese game of Go as a basis. However instead of the peices moving on a literal field, all the fighters could fight in every turn. Each turn the 'players' could move three peices on the board. These moves were told to the umpire only and t...

I am confused by the term "flatlame" are you able to provide more information with out giving away your secrets?
