This has been making the rounds of the rapier lists. We have been discussing it on the marshals list. Jean-Michel seems to be the go to person for Meridies. If...
Having reviewed the new proposal, the only Q? I have is "Why does a blow to the legs in C/T end the fight?" I understand the safety issue, and my response to...

WooHoo!! I just scheduled my vacation for Gulf Wars next year. So I will be available for murder and mayhem on a grand scale. Question for all the rapier...
Stefan, will there be any rbg battles at GW? I am building a canon, and I was curious if we could use it. For those of you not familiar with the design, it has...
... The general belief among the folks doing Cut & Thrust is that you'd just stand out of range and let the legged fighter bleed out, rather than going in for...
... Actually, that's not my take on it at all, nor that of any of the people that I've fought with. If you're cut in the leg you've lost the fight for two...
Not wishing to get into a "bash heavy fighters" (nyuk, nyuk!) rant, but I'll never forget the fellow I saw one year at Border Raids whose helmet literally was...
There are goobs on every field. But as a counter story.. When I first started fencing in the Midrealm (yes, we were using epees) M original fencing armor was...
... Tower is a good idea. As I recall, we were both there last year. I believe that Doom will be in Tennesee again( I might be mistaken). Alas, it looks like...
... Off the top of my head (that haven't already been mentioned)... a) wouldn't want to change rules in mid fight, that might be asking for trouble. b) there...

Okay, let me see if I can adequately address all of these: Jean-Michel: I agree that a "blow" to the leg will generally render a combatant incapable of...
... I'm curious: why don't you consider push cuts viable atacks? I've yet to see a knife or sword that only cut in one direction. -Tivar Moondragon Ansteorra...
Hi Cillian, I have no problem not standardizing th rules. Why should we? If we were to standardize, why not go all the way and standardize the rapier rules to...
Hi, all, Our webpage for Summer Collegia II (and unofficial Pennsic Pity Party) has been updated with a class roster/schedule. We think we've got a great array...
Jean-Michel, et. al., Perhapse "Standardization" was the wrong word to use (... although I seemed to use it several times, didn't I...) More appropriately, I...
I have gone over this and I have found a bone to pick; I thought "sandals" was going to be removed as allowable footwear. At no time does it mention that if...

Hi again Cilian, OK here's my thought process: 1 C&T was developed to allow research into a more historic fighting method. 2 Originally the idea was that we...

Yes, there will be RBG encounters at GW-15. The 'Town Battle' and the 'Verona Street Brawl' both utilize RBG's. If we can fit one in a "Tavern Brawl" uses...
