Hi everyone. First, an intro. I am Hanbal Reis al Barbary, of the Barony of Stormhold, in the Kingdom of Lochac. I have been a SCA combatant for 10 years now...
Personally I just love designing and running scenarios (usually rapier, because that is what I fight (that's mostly because I can not physically fight heavy...
... <snip> ... I had also thought of the idea of having lego like items. My personal take on it was to publish a specification that folks could use to contruct...
now lego-like blocks...that would be hilarious... I can see it now, commanders huddled in their tent putting together fortesses and using legomen for troop...
Pardon any repeat posts of this message. I was wondering if anyone has come across a proper period salute used by fighting men in or around the 16th century. I...
Hi All New member D'Gaunt here seeking some links. Sometime ago I put together a warbook of commands and manouveres for the local warband (easily recognised...

Dear fellow fighters, I am currently working on imporving the lot of those of us that fight with ahlberd, axe, warhammers, maces. I am working the tool grade...
Dear gentles, Due to great response I have gotten, if it is okay with the owner of the list, I will upload the files to the list and then those who wish can...
I have it, finally! Now, the setup. I requested from HRM Alaric and the general, Sir Straum, that during the Mountain Pass Battle (a rez battle) at Pennsic,...
Greetings For the Canterbury Faire camping event, held by the Barony of Southron Gaard last weekend, I had the pleasure of designing a bunch of war scenarios...
AnTir? Also: making a few thrust and throw spears. Because I am essentially extremely lazy, I wanted to purchase a nerf football and use that for the business...
Greetings, I certainly can't answer for AnTir, heck, I can barely answer for Meridies. But in Meridies, I believe they are not allowed and I certainly...
Dear gentles, Being that we are all students to a greater or lesser degree and wish to improve our use as fighters and leaders in the area of "melle", "war"...
I would agree that it makes sense to group weapons styles together into units. The question is, how big of a unit? It seems in the Midrealm that much of our...

Hi Michael, Have you discussed the issue of the language barrier and conversion of documents to various languages with the SCA corpora? Also check out ...
Hi guys (from Hanbal Reis al Barbary - Kingdom of Lochac (Australia)) Agree with the general breakdown in different troop types. Unfortunately in Lochac we...
In my own humble opinion you may want to have a good shield wall, The Calontir Shield Wall for example is incredibly fearsome. It is copied after the old...
Agreed, I have fought beside Calontir's shield war at a few pennsic's and enjoy having their solid mass for our light unit to do the dirty work of splintering...
I must admit, of the units I have seen, they have tended to be shield walls, or mixed units (shields, spears, and two-handed great weapons). Largely, in the An...
The melee unit under my command is a skirmisher unit. There are six other men plus myself as the commander. They form as a wedge with myself in the center....
It is a halberd that has a long double edged blade at top and two cross bars/blades with the bladed section on the lower edge not the leading edge, so that if...
