Ah well, it seems I will have to improve my early fourth century belt quite a bit now so as not to be left behind.
I will need to get back to the arduous job of decorating my tunic as well, not to mention getting a suitable sword and a long sleeved mail shirt. Oh, and fit a spearhead to the ash pole which has been waiting for it for months.
Well done my two comilites!
We will have to make it three some time.

We already discussed that Robert! These guys look great and have a lot more experience in the period that we do currently, so they are a good option.
