Essex comments from us? Absolutely not, shut up! ;)

*No comments please about urban sprawl, scrapheaps in the green belt, souped up cars, white stilletto heels or any other such Essex 'legend', this game is set in the 15thC not the 21st!  :D

correct, the only way is Essex...

I'll get my coat  ;)

In this period, livery coat, actually...  :D

Your collection is building rapidly Steve... We should soon be able to stage quite a big game between us ;)

It is certainly growing indeed. Liking what I see!  :)

I'm not sure they work well for Essex though... hose was traditionally worn round their ankles.  :D

Sorry...  ;)

Cant wait to see them painted up.

I love this. Poleaxes are The Daddy.  8)  Top painting and a lovely setting too.

Entitled "Le Jeu de la Hache" (transalation: the play of the axe = axeplay") it was based on a 15thC image of the same name.

Were you aware that it was also the name of a 15th Century Burgundian fighting manual detailing the use of the poleaxe in combat? Our historical fencing group have used it on occasion. Bit of a marathon as it's text only, but I have a PDF of a translation with a few illustrations from Talhoffer and other sources added in if you'd be interested in a copy?

You probably already knew all that...  ::)
