you mean and actually make the schtick of the reason the east and mid come in because they heard of an invading army actually be true? Forfend a touch of cool play. That would then make the idea of the Mid and East working together against everyone else actually work.

I love it when "Newbies" have kits better than others that have been fighting for years. Not just shiny new but all around better display. Great job Drogo.

Wow I didn't realize that Poiters date was so difficult to pin it down. I assumed with the Black Prince being there we would have had more certain info. But I am guessing COP will be the way for me to go. What about a Corrazina?

Strongbow,

So the body would be a breastplate not a coat of plates? What type, the globose or the cherburg?

I am having difficulty envisioning how the haubergon works with the arm defenses or would there be no spaulders yet?

1356 Battle of Poiters

If I wanted to do an SCA impression of an English Knight from this time and place from the skin out, what would I need?

It translates to Sable; which albeit is a fur is also in this context only for the color black of a sable. There are only two furs used in heraldry which the names are ermine and vair.

If your intent is to have the blue background with the black diamond on it then it doesn't meet heraldic submissions because you can't have a color on a color. If you change it to blue with silver (white) diamond with black sword it would be a legal submission. However if your intent is just the bla...

SCA gorget I have a problem and need some advice on a fix. First off a gorget is not period for me so something that is an SCAism or unobtrusive is the goal.

Anyone know numbers for Lochac?


Uncertain at this time with travel expenses climbing, however 6-12 seems to be about average for us. It depends upon how many Drachenwald expatriates join our forces on the ground there.
