DSC are a good bunch, in my dealing with them I have had no reason to complain, unlike other Idian producers/vendors.

But Steven, if you are training to fight like Roman miles, please do realise that your opponents should lose 9 out of 10. The main problem with this sort of mock combat is that there are often too few miles to truely get the Roman fighting system to work. Normaly, opponents could not just run around the formation and engage in a melee. During a melee, many advantages of the fighting system are lessened to a great extent. To adjust for this, have the sides of the line fold back and fight in a circle, back to back. Great way of piling up dead bodies in front of you! Also, it requires good rules of engagement. A stab to an unprotected torso is lethal, to a limb, crippling. But with needlefelt or the like, a stab is hardly felt or counted as a hit by the opponent.
