Such brutal rules. I’ve always got the jist of the rules but man now that I know exactly what they are, do I love it! Perfect level of being right below HMB but above everything else. The minimal armor rules are so optimal. Bravo, Aveloc
Question about missile weapons: I see tennis ball projectiles, but not any weapons that would utilize them. What are some legal examples? Are pneumatics legal?
Missile weapons of many sorts are employed regularly throughout the battlefields of the Empire. As for tennis balls, I have seen stonebows, slings, a springloaded gun launcher, and pneumatics in the form of cannons. Each was experimented with and found either practical or not and until Kingdom wide laws supporting/banning them it will depend upon each Lord to make their own choice.
Aveloc, nicely done video. I would probably enjoy the combat but there are far too many deplorable people I know that were kicked out of the SCA that find harbor and are welcomed in the EMP that I can't entertain the thought. I wish you well. Clean the shit out of your house and perhaps many of us will visit. Regards, Logan dux Atlantia
Ever notice that Medieval studies never seem to focus on things the ladies enjoy? Weaving, art, calligraphy.... Nope, hitting each other seems like where it always goes.
I would recommend reaching out to your local group. There are more activities related to the arts then there are fighting. :) - Potter, cross stitch embroiderer, apiarist, farmer, brewer, and (on occasion) heavy fighter.
There is a great deal of focus/interest on what ladies enjoy (including hitting one another) its simply a matter that far fewer people receive weaving or calligraphy injuries that safety videos for them were lower on the priority list.
