Greetings,
I stumbled across this site and it seemed like a good place to get some feedback...

Background
I belong to an international "historical society" called the SCA (details:
SCAdemo.com ) where we portray personas from pre 17th Century European history. One of the many activities we (as these personae) do is full contact armoured combat with rattan (solid bambo) battons.
Some people's armours are fantastic, many are lacking. Some are simply "Stick Jocks" that throw a tunic over anything protective and jump into the fray. To be fair, it is often difficult to accurately portray an armour style with the combat we do, as we require body be armoured for safety in a manner that is often in conflict with the historical.
* A recent move has resulted in the loss of all but my online research. I can't find any of my nots and about 1/2 my Roman & Late Roman books. I have no footnotes left, and I'm in the tedious process of recreating them *
