Re: RMRS events - Caballo - 08-27-2008
Picture of Pudens and myself (thanks Peronis!) at Chalfont St Giles on Saturday. I'd just been shooting my bow- hence the leather bracer- in possibly the most inaccurate shooting known to the re-enactment world.....

Looks like Crispus to me....but I could be mistaken...you are the one talking to him... :wink:
Re: RMRS events - Peroni - 08-28-2008
LOL! :lol: :lol:
He's dead right you know Paul, it's Crispvs!!
Batavian Senility creeping in slowly?
?: Never mind the archery Paul, we kicked the Legionary catapulta crew's butt that day!
Re: RMRS events - Caballo - 08-28-2008
You're quite right.....am now wearing my glasses! :oops:
And as to the artillery - to shoot a bolt through an iron scutum boss with a bolt that then protruded over a foot behind....that would have ruined a legionary's day!

Re: RMRS events - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-30-2008
Which scutum did you use?
Re: RMRS events - Caballo - 08-30-2008
Well....need you ask? Batavian of course!

Holy mackeral, a whole six Battyvians!!!!
Wow, that must be a new record! :lol: :wink:
Re: RMRS events - Caballo - 08-31-2008
Ah...the leather covered brown legionary one. The bolt going throughthe umbo would have seriously ruined the owner's day.....
Re: RMRS events - Gaius Julius Caesar - 08-31-2008
Yes, it would! I quite like the ankle shots though, as they would take quite a few down...... :twisted:
Re: RMRS events - Gaius Julius Caesar - 09-14-2008
Well Lads, where were our 'amphibious' specialists last weekend?
Scared of the rain? :wink:
Re: RMRS events - Peroni - 09-16-2008
I did two shows (Colchester and Harlow) the weekend before and had the BM job last weekend.
Took a break!.
Re: RMRS events - Gaius Julius Caesar - 09-16-2008
Excuses, excuses... :wink:
Wish I had made it to the BM this weekend, but went earlier in the week,
then went to Wroxeter to help Murry out last weekend. Amazing site, with plenty of XIIIIth connections.

There were actually 8 of us that weekend!
There should be about 10 at Colchester.
Re: RMRS events - Gaius Julius Caesar - 09-16-2008
Well lets hope the turnout is better all around for that show.
I am hoping to get the weekend off for it. If we are still in the office that is. Otherwise it will be a definate no-go.
