I was hoping the good Lord Scipio would answer this since I think he would have
a better knowledge than I but I will post just my observations.

He fought center-gripped scutum all day. I believe he would use a medium
length stabbing sword when sword & shield were called for and a small thrusting
pilum with the scutum in situations not calling for sword & shield.

He wore lorica flexius (if I recall the latin correctly) which is a Roman chain
mail with reinforced shoulders. 

I don't know his W/L record for Elfsea and I didn't get to watch too many of his
bouts but I did notice him when he was on the field.  Isn't that part of tourney
fighting?

Yers,

Gunthar
