[Ansteorra-rapier] gauntlets and rapier

[James Crouchet]

Both Robert and Brian are correct about the gauntlets.

Don Aeron added mail gauntlets in the April 2006 edition of the
Ansteorran Rapier Rules as a new secondary. This is not restricted to
"armor as worn" tournaments. However, as with _*all*_ weapons and
secondaries, you and your opponent must agree that those weapons are
acceptable.

There are a few points of note concerning mail gauntlets:

    * Basically, it must be a REAL metal/chain gauntlet and only the
      areas covered with metal are proof against hits.
    * The gauntlet does NOT protect the hand from being damaged if the
      hand is grasping a blade and that blade moves or twists in the hand.
    * The gauntlet is a secondary, not a gloved hand, and thus is NOT
      approved for use against the other fighter's person (no "fleeting
      contact").
