Re: Is riveted aluminum chainmail viable for SCA combat?
So my initial impressions so far is that it works fine if you're buying it only for show. I've only fought two practices with it so once I have more time in it I'll let you know of any major failings. The armor is not meant as a substitute for body armor and I view it as a more expensive tunic. Prio...

Re: Zoom Bang
Well I cannot speak for the entire Society, but it is documented as being legal in the Middle Kingdom. Sir Gregoire, the current KEM, maintains a FAQ document in the Midrealm Marshal's Facebook group where it is documented.

Re: Zoom Bang
As someone who wears Zoombang in the Middle kingdom, it is legal as an alternative for kidney/short rib protection. I have only seen people wear the maximum coverage shirts, but not other shirts.

Re: Middle May Crown list?
On shield sizes, the length for most fighters is not changing too drastically but the width sure is. The round center-grip fighters would have to fight with something like 22-23" rounds instead of their normal 28" rounds.

Vici doesn't even begin to describe how cool this household/unit really is. The armor is the household's property.

Sir Stephen from Aethelmarc wears one of these as his helm padding. I've asked him about this before and he says he likes it. It's nice to be able to wash your helm padding after every fight practice.

I got some spear thrusts to the gut in melee practice last night wearing only my Zoombang shirt for body. To put it plainly, it felt like I got punched in the gut.
