Sounds like we're all in thus far...I say we move forward- lets do this!  Doesn't Wolf have a tract of land we could use as a battleground somewhere out in the boonies (WVa lol)?  I seem to recall him mentioning it as an aside...maybe when we were talking about the old VARF and its grounds.  Hell, I'd be down for trying to hold it there...its more or less been abandoned, right?

Wolf does have a big chunk of land, and it's even MORE boonies than my edge of WV lol. I would love to armor up and do some, dare I even say it, choreographed bits like they have on Youtube, based on the period fechtbuchs. It would be great practice for Azincourt. :D

Sounds okay to me but I've heard rumors that Sir Wolf won’t validate parking!  :D

LMAO @ won't validate parking

You mean, there's a parking lot out there too?  I thought concrete hadn't been invented yet in WV.  ;)

What is the level of contact like at events like the one at Wisby? I notice that there are many soldiers with kettle helmets and open visors. This suggests that the face, and probably the head is off limits, would this be right? With that most of the spears appear to be pointing at the chest or lower.

It does depend on the group but most do avoid the head. At Hastings in 06 the head was a no no.

Wow, that's sick. We Americans need to import a medieval battlefield or something  :P

Sadly, we only have those of the colonial era & Civil war at home. Let's invite the Brits back for another go around at retaking their colonies. LOL I'm sure the Queen would love to reclaim the old empire. Prolly still has some venom from when we lowly Americans kicked her ancestor's royal assets. We'll make it a medieval challenge to retake America. Tell them they can even bring the Frenchies along to make it more fun for us. :)
