Sassanid,<br>
I do not recall your input in any off the debates you referred to. Do join in next time. I am curious to you objection to the felt fighting system, particularly as a horseman. We have used these in the battles with Junkelmann's horses and they are a lot safer than wood or metal when a horse gets wacked (sometimes unpreventable in a fierce melee).<br>
<br>
I am all for using real steel when I play medieval (see attached pics, which I have asked Rich to post), but with exposed arms and legs of ancient soldiers (as well as expensive equipment), the felt weapons is really practical, and probably the only way you will induce over 100 Roman reenactors, unused to combat, to participate in a battle demo.<br>
