<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My thanks to all those who answered questions (Yes,
even Crandal). I'm getting close, and my gear comes together. Still waiting on
helm and gorget from Ashcraft Baker, but everthing else is almost ready so I'm
starting to excercise and build a shield. Hoping to go for qualification in a
couple weeks.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>There are no stupid questions.....( Crandal be quiet :-) ) there are
separate auth. for fiberglass spear , siege, and bow but those are all I can
think of. I personally would not pass any shield less than 1/4inc, but would
prefer at least 3/8 in. Also if you are using wood make sure to reinforce the
edge with something...rawhide, aluminum tract etc... </DIV>

have a couple questions for our marshall or anyone familiar enough with
<BR>the kingdom rules to answer authoratatively.<BR><BR>1) What is the
minimum shield material requirement. I spoke with Crandal who <BR>verified
there is no size minimum, but what must it made of? I know it has <BR>to be
sturdy enough to survive contact, but can it be thinish hardwoo, or
<BR>something comperable?<BR>2) Does our kingdom require multiple
authorizations to fight? Sword & <BR>Shield. Great Short. Mace and
Shield. Florentine <SP>. etc. When I was in <BR>An Tir it was one test,
you're done. But in Midrealm it was muliple <BR>authorizations.<BR><BR>Sorry
if the questions are stupid, what do you expect from a 1400 year ol
