I think he has a very good point here.
During one of the practice fort battles a man tapped me on the shoulder
with his sword and said "attacker", I didn't know this man from Adam and I
also didn't know that the gate had been breached already.
If not for that man's chivalry I would have had no idea what side he was
on.
I'm sure that alot of people will say that this is very period (and they
would be very right) but SCA combat is a sport.
In Ansteorra personal glory has always been very high, but if you already
have your device on your shield do you really need to also wear it on your
chest too?

This Scot is now going to slink back to his hole. :)

Seeya,
