Ars Dimicandi about european Reenactment in german news

[Paulus Claudius Damianus]

Hello at all!

I'm supporter to the replacing soldiers in battle for many points. I'm talking about this theorical constructions with Ars Dimicandi. We exchanged sources (yes, there is...) and if we are not completly agree on all the points, they don't absolutely refuse the discussion and have an excellent knowledge. So, it is true that the ars dimicandi reenactment options are sometimes strange, I admits it. But we should not denigrate either their work, I don't know a lot who also works to this aspect of the research.

For my part it is the inverse idea which shocks me. How can we imagine that the men cannot take turns in the fight inside the battle lines? While it is impossible to fight in first battle front line more than three minutes in complete armor?
