Quote:But it is pretty fun to try and hit a target by throwing a javalin at it and jolly impressive to watch!
Yes, definitely...!!!
I do prefer handing the weapons out to the horsemen instead of being in the testudo they are aimed at.....peering out....'here he comes'.... hides behind shield.... *thump* ....peers out.... 'flash cavalryman approaching'.... ducks down.... 'missed ha ha'.... peers out once again....'waaaah, where did he come from'....just ducks down in time.... *thump* on my shield :lol:
Quote:Alan Larson and his troop are very good at the Roman sports stuff (They were the Roman Cavalry types supporting the ESG a Kelamarsh this year). All in all for dash and spectacle I think the Hipika gymkhana sp? has every thing else well beat.Yes, I kept disappearing from our encampment to watch him and the guys in action... :roll:
I think the most humourous part of the weekend was when the rain held off until the moment ESG marched into the arena and then, down it came -I could just imagine the comments.... :lol: (although I am sure they did not find it amusing...all that rust to clean again.... :lol: )

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
