I hate the Internet sometimes. Trying to dig up info on a old dueling form where the combatants wore full plate and started off holding both a sword and a spear in their hands.
But all I get is stupid MMO forum questions of "can I duel wield swords and spears?!?!"

Hurm. The most effective means of taking my kyudo equipment with me back to Australia would appear to be as excess baggage on my flight home - it would cover roughly the same dimensions as fishing gear, and that's entirely allowed to be brought on, as long as it's stored in PVC covering of some kind with screw-caps at either end (which is acquirable)
the main problem is that this would involve transporting a 2.2 metre rigid tube from my town to Narita airport, along with my other baggage, via two trains and a long-ish walk within a busy Tokyo station

How do wow-nerds get this so wrong?
My attempts to find out revealed nothing except some insights into how swordsmen attacked pike formations (surprisingly successful).
Let me know if you find out, it sounds interesting.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

I had some luck looking through the judicial combat wikipedia entry, when I have more free time I will have to flip through the various historical german fencing manuscripts mentioned and see which one (if any) covers the combat I am thinking of.
Dammit, for the record, I don't appreciate being forced to listen to someone outline a cunning plan when firstly it isn't cunning because none of the people who worked on have relevant skills or knowledge to make any relevant plan and secondly without the courtesy of said person telling me what the plan's purpose.was until they finished.

Justifiable homicide. You do not unwrap other people's new boondoggles. It just isn't done.

whomp speaks to me on so many levels it makes me vaguely uncomfortable
I believe it is a rule that any historical armour/weapon discussion on the internet eventually devolves into arguing over the Battle of Agincourt.
It's like godwins law.
Which is a little odd, because to me it is more a case of the French making some horrible strategic decisions than anything else.
In other news, interesting! For Titanfall you will be playing with and against other humans, but in every match there will always be AI grunts and whatnot. But the AI controlled units are strictly not intended to be on the level of an actual player, they are more cinematic fodder and support. For example, there is a pistol that can lock on and shoot homing bullets. Against a player it is simply more accurate, homes some, etc. Against AI fodder it locks on to their head, can lock onto multiple heads at once, a drop a group of them in a single burst.
Fun!
Edit: French being dumb dumbs also covers Crecy well.

Looney Tunes WWII propaganda. :twisted:

The only HEMA I know is www.hema.nl . =/
HEMA is european martial arts. Like 14th century swordfighting.

Unfortunately for me, it also looks like the type of game I have no interest in. But man, some of you guys are going to have a blast with it.

Hmm, brightly coloured shower curtains and utensils or swinging claymores around... Interesting.
