<chuckle>  if its hard for guys like you.... guys like me be SOL....

I have been listening to the rebellious ones on the Armour Archive, and 
like any other opinion, if its repeated enough it tends to stick....

A lot of the guys have the following opinion:

1.  losing a limb to a good blow is (and looks) silly.  Any blow that would 
keep you from using the limb (especially the legs) would probably have you 
dead in a few seconds.  However, the proponents of the opinion cede the 
point that since we are recreating a tourney not a war, the losing a limb 
convention can be acceptable.

2.  Most deaths of well armoured combatants were from Multiple Injuries....

There's good and bad points, but most of the proponents of the 
three-counted-blows say that they enjoy it immensely.... I dunno.  I'd like 
to play with it and see..
