Yeah I need to convert it over from video to DVD. I do have photos of us at our last war back in 93. (Sea Raids) We did try to be as accurate to the Romans as we could, and still be legal for SCA combat.
Hibernicus is right on all accounts, and he did bring back some memories that I forgot. We never ran towards our enemy, we marched up to them, and about 10 feet out we would throw our pilum at them. At that we would charge them. Complete chaos on their part. I watched SCA Knights run from us before we would engage.
One thing we did do at a field battle is we placed ourselves at a corner so that no one could flank us, and that forced them to take us on from the front. The Marshall's had to call hold a number of times to allow the dead in front of us leave.
Another thing that we did do was to allow the regular SCA groups to go out in front of us, and we would start to manuver where we needed to go using the SCA'ers as cover for us. This prevented the other kingdom from trying to save us for last. I forget the name of the Kingdom in South Carolina, but I'm from Trimaris here in Fla.
