Quote:I have stated before and will say again, I wouldn't look to LARPers as a recruiting base, or the main one at any rate. I think going for reenactors in other periods would be a better idea. I've talked to some fellow WWI and II reenactors and there is interest, I think with some work we could get them over.[size=150:ghmy02q5]P[/size]erhaps, but many of them just aren't gonna want to do this kind of thing. It doesn't go "bang." As someone who does WWI and WWII, I need explain that it is tactics and weapons for many of my fellows.
Anyway, I would thing we could use the Brigantia website as a good starting place, they have 2 pages on "how to" make cloting & kit and another on how to make weapons.

Weapons [url:ghmy02q5]http://www.ironage.demon.co.uk/brigantia/kit_weapons.htm[/url]
At least, we could point people there until we get something else going...
