It's nice when you have the numbers to present a challenge yet can be flexible/mobile enough you don't get locked into a shield wall.

You know, I'm not sure if I picked that one up. I have the Royal Jousts book in that series, but I don't see this one on the shelf.

I've read this one, it's excellent.  It has a few contemporary accounts of the Combat with good translations and analysis.

Going on the wish list...thought I was getting Medieval Art of Sword & Shield but it appeared the guy didn't update his inventory so I got a refund instead.  :(

Chivalry Bookshelf. :(
