Beautiful work, thankyou for sharing!
Ignatieff, if there is any hand-to-hand, take great care! I have been re-enacting in Poland and Russia and have seen a lot of inuries. I have also met wonderful people and seen great kit.
Likewise. I once saw a bell boy (he was at least 40) at a hotel near Hadrian's wall with a giant scar across his skull "f****n Russians!" says he, "what period?" says I. "Dark Ages" says he. 'You bet', thinks I.
I should be OK. I'm taking 10 good men and true, all experts, and they want us to train them in pike drill. I smell fresh recruits for the wargod!
