Quote:I've fixed the link to the video clip of my slinging on the beach. It is this link: http://www.comitatus.net/beach2.AVIAren't I dashing?!Very much so! Thanks for fixing the link. Could you also fix the one where decimus shoots the ballista please? I wanna see that!
Quote:Many many thanks for your wonderful comments about the website and some of the Comitatus features. THe purpose of my post wasn't to gather praise (honest!!) but to let Robert Vermaat that there are new things to look at. He gets very angry with me if I don't update him! :wink: :wink:I'm so happy my wrath paid off.. cry: ). Keep it coming!
Quote:Robert, I too am sceptical of the 'mounted plumbatae', but then I have my own ideas about that weapon. I think John's idea is to try all these weapons - we are, after all - an experimental research group. To discover if plumbatae can be successfully thrown from horseback, well ... that's worth knowing!
I agree. But there's that develish line between 'did they do it' and 'could they have done it'!! But I'm sure it's fun finding out!
Quote:The site looks very full because, as everyone in Comitatus knows, I carry my camera with me absolutely everywhere and take pictures of anything that moves, as well as anything that stays still for more than 10 minutes.So you must have tons and tons of pictures..... :wink:
