That's true and it won't. Dodging a spear point and allowing it to land on
the helm will be considered a valid technique. We are going to have to get 
used to it and accept it. But on the other front, all you have to do is reach
over and touch the bars of the helm for it to be a good shot. The touch to the
face is to prevent the excessive spear shots and the knowledge that no matter
how hard you hit someone in the helm should prevent some of the problems 
expirienced last year. We just have to make sure everyone knows about them.

These conventions are noted now so we can train with them and get used to them
NOW and not have problems at the actual war.

Yours,

Gunthar
