Comparative Analysis – Corbridge versus New

[FlaviusCrispus]

Ah, three hours of continuous, SCA-style combat-- that explains it! That represents a lot more stress than that to which we have subjected our cuirasses. The only comparable experiences we have would be the shoot for the TV program "Conquest," which involved a day-long, fairly continuous series of combat scenarios in miserably hot weather on steeply slanted terrain. But this was about 18 months ago, before most of our Newsteads were completed. Mine was the only proper Newstead in action at that shoot, and the stress probably did contribute to the one broken internal I suffered.<br>

Who are you and where are you located, Legio VIII? Do you have any images of your Newstead and/or Corbridges? I'm always eager to compare notes, and I'm happy to have your report on Newstead durability on the record.<br>
