  • Weaponry & Armor
    Weaponry & Armor “Imagine walking five hundred miles over the course of two weeks, carrying an arquebus, a bardiche, a stone of grain, another stone of water, ten pounds of shot, your own armor, your tent, whatever amenities you want for yourself, and your lord’s favorite dog. In the rain. In winter. With dysentery. Alright, are you imagining that? Now imagine that as soon as you’re done with that, you need to actually fight the enemy. You have a horse, but a Senator’s nephew is riding it. You’re knee-deep in mud, and you’ve just been assigned a rookie to train. He speaks four languages, none of which are yours, and has something to prove. Now he’s drunk and arguing with your superiors, you haven’t slept in thirty hours, you’ve just discovered that the fop has broken your horse’s leg in a gopher hole, and your gun’s wheellock is broken, when just then out of the dark comes the beating of war-drums. Someone screams, and a cannonball lands in your cooking fire, where you were drying your boots. “Welcome to war. Enjoy your stay.” -Mago Straddock Dacian Volkodav You’re probably going to see a lot of combat in Song of Swords, and you’re going to want to be ready for it. This section includes everything you need to know about weapons, armor, and the cost of carrying them to battle. That includes fatigue and encumbrance. When you kit up, remember that you don’t have to wear all of your armor all of the time, nor do you need to carry everything physically on your person.

  • Capitol Clash 2020 Armored Combat Rules and Regulations IMPORTANT
    Capitol Clash 2020 Armored Combat Rules and Regulations IMPORTANT: All competitors intending to participate in the Armored Combat event must submit a photo of the armor they intend to wear for pre-approval no later than January 10, 2020. Earlier is better in case the event organizers require that you modify your armor before approval. Also note that initial pre-approval via photo does not guarantee that your armor will pass the required in-person inspection. SUMMARY OF RULES The goal of the Armored Combat tournament is to promote the accurate but safe revival of period- correct fencing in armor in a one-on-one duel, referred to in German fighting treatises as harnisfechten. Format Matches will be fought to the best of three rounds. If a fighter has more wins by the finish of Round 2, that fighter wins the match. If both fighters have tied by the end of Round 2, Round 3 will commence. -Each round will be 60 seconds of continuous action with a halt only called for special reasons (see below) -Round 1 will be fought with spears, Round 2 with longswords and Round 3 will commence with daggers. (Note that fighters are allowed to carry a dagger as a back up weapon in Round 1 and 2, but not in Round 3.) Winning a Round -A fighter who has more points at the end of the clock will win the round. -If a fighter is “shown the gate” (passes completely outside a specially marked entrance/exit), the match is stopped, and the opponent automatically wins regardless of the score.

  • Longpoint 2019 Passage at Arms (Armored Combat)
    Longpoint 2019 Passage at Arms (Armored Combat) Equipment Regulations, v. 1.0 IMPORTANT: All competitors intending to participate in the Longpoint 2019 Passage at Arms must submit a photo of the armor they intend to wear for pre-approval no later than March 1, 2019. Earlier is better in case the event organizers require that you modify your armor before approval. Also note that initial pre-approval via photo does not guarantee that your armor will pass the required in-person inspection. OVERVIEW The goal of the Longpoint Passage at Arms is to promote the accurate but safe revival of period-correct fencing in armor in a one-on-one duel, referred to in German fighting treatises as harnisfechten. -Participants are expected to wear historical European-styled armor contemporary, or close to contemporary, of a person of rank as seen in the time periods of the treatises that detail armored combat techniques. The armor can be styled after historical armor from approximately the late 14th century to early 16th. Despite the wide range of time period allowed, combatants should do their best to keep their own harness cohesive to a single time period and not “mix and match” elements of different eras. Ideally, armor should not have elements that would have existed more than 20 years before or after any other element on a person’s harness. (E.g. a 16th century armet should not be paired with a 14th century coat of plates) Combatants are expected to wear a complete harness suitable for fighting in the lists of judicial combat rather than one specialized for warfare or other forms of combat.

  • Part Vii. the Cyclas, Camail and Jupon " Kxights. by ALFRED C. the Number
    a^onumental €ffigics in Somerset. Part vii. the cyclas, camail and jupon " kxights. BY ALFRED C. FRYER, PH.D., F.S.A. THE quarter of a century (1321-1346) which marks the Cyclas Period is probably the most picturesque in the " long history of defensive armour.^ The number of '" knights portrayed in this curious garment- either in stone, wood, or engraved on brass, during these two and a half decades are comparatively limited, and in Somerset we find only three stone ' Knights " belonging to this special class of monu- mental effigy. Experience gained in the Chain Mail Period proved that defence Avas ineffectual against pointed weapons, for even if the mail was not actually pierced limbs weie bruised and bones broken. During the time, therefore, that the cyclas was in fashion we meet with multitudinous coverings of plate, mail, and padded garments to resist lance, sword and arrow. The cyclas was evidently made of silk or some other thin material, falling easily into folds, and diftered from the Solving suicoat as it was close-fitting, laced or buttoned at the sides, reacliing to the knees behind and cut so short in front that we can trace the three protective garments beneath 1. Text-books frequently give the cyclas period as 1325 to 1335. Several ' knights " are clad, however, in the cyclas before and after that time, and the late Sir William Hope considered the correct date for this period should be 1321-1346, so as to include practically all known exaniples. 2. The cyclas was probably adopted because the surcoat was found to be an inconvenient garment.

  • The Evolution of Plate Armor in Medieval Europe and Its Relation to Contemporary Weapons Development
    History, Department of History Theses University of Puget Sound Year 2016 Clad In Steel: The Evolution of Plate Armor in Medieval Europe and its Relation to Contemporary Weapons Development Jason Gill [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/history theses/21 Clad in Steel: The Evolution of Plate Armor in Medieval Europe and its Relation to Contemporary Arms Development Jason Gill History 400 Professor Douglas Sackman 1 When thinking of the Middle Ages, one of the first things that comes to mind for many is the image of the knight clad head to toe in a suit of gleaming steel plate. Indeed, the legendary plate armor worn by knights has become largely inseparable from their image and has inspired many tales throughout the centuries. But this armor was not always worn, and in fact for most of the years during which knights were a dominant force on battlefields plate was a rare sight. And no wonder, for the skill and resources which went into producing such magnificent suits of armor are difficult to comprehend. That said, it is only rarely throughout history that soldiers have gone into battle without any sort of armor, for in the chaotic environment of battle such equipment was often all that stood between a soldier and death. Thus, the history of both armor and weapons is essential to a fuller understanding of the history of war. In light of this importance, it is remarkable how little work has been done on charting the history of soldiers’ equipment in the Middle Ages.

  • No Heroes Without Masks the Summer Months Follow Upon a Period of Strict Isolation
    No heroes without masks The summer months follow upon a period of strict isolation. The Military Museum has now re- opened its doors and puts its generously-sized galleries at the disposal of curious visitors. The Educational Service chose the currently mandatory wearing of facemasks to stop the spread of the coronavirus as the guiding principle for a tour through the centuries, when other masks for other purposes and made out of other materials were utilized. Floor markings draw the attention of the visitors to the selected objects and QR codes supply a short explanation. Those wishing to learn more can download this leaflet with additional infor- mation. The tour successively takes you through the Arms and Armour Gallery, the 14-18 Gallery and the Aviation Hall, before turning back to the 14-18 Gallery and climbing the stairs of the two floors in the Bordiau Gallery. We wish you a most pleasant walk. Armour Gallery introduction Armours, both a protective item and a power symbol, characterize mediaeval warfare. Rich noblemen can afford made-to-measure armours, whereas less moneyed knights have to make do with “off the peg” pieces sometimes provided by the suzerain and stored in large arsenals. A complete armour can count up to 250 pieces and weigh some 25 to 40 kg. Armours follow civilian fashion, as you will be able to observe through the various protective helmets we selected. Frogmouth helmet, late 15th century, early 16th century Jousting or tournament great helms are quite occlusive. The jousting armour is heavier than the combat armour and can weigh up to 70 kg.
