Every time I see the abbreviation, I keep thinking "to hit armor class zero". :)

My immediate reaction as well... :)  Best of luck to you this weekend Lord Rodney!

I too am going to an SCA fighting event this weekend. It's the Silver Desert War practice & Museum Demo.

It's my second fighting event since tearing my shoulder in August.

Cool beans Ivan!  Let us know how it goes (if you're able to type the next day).  ;)

Sir Wolf:
good on you both and i wish you well

Sir Rodney:
I managed to survive the day intact with only one minor bruise and no broken bones.   :o  I’m still completely wiped out after fighting from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, stopping only for lunch and water breaks.

They expanded the event this year to include SCA style fencing, which I really enjoyed watching.  For being a small regional event, I was impressed that they were able to pull in 65 total participants with 35 or more being heavy combatants. 

The first half of the event was an SCA style “warlord” tournament where the victor of each round absorbs the loosing team into his own.  I did not personally win the tournament, but the team I was on did!   :)

The second half of the event consisted of different scenarios (bridge, open field, castle, etc.) utilizing the two “warlord” teams established earlier.  We carried the second half of the day as well.

I’m attempting to contact the event photographer via FB to see if I can have, or link to, her photographs.

Thorsteinn:
Awesome!

I too was at a SCA fighting event over the weekend. T'was a hot & humid site but we managed to fight for 5 hours off and on and I lasted almost the whole time.
