Fighting Thoughts
I have been thinking a lot lately about trying to write a beginners guide to fighting in the SCA. Nothing fancy or to in depth, just something to help new people learn things to work on. It would cover topics such as stretching, shots, pell work, etc. It’s probably a flight of fancy, I know the reason I don’t is my fear that people will pick it apart and find things in it that are not quite right or do not work for them and therefore are blasphemous anda bane on the society…Okay that might have been a bit melodramitic 
HE Melisende has also got me thinking quite a bit about tactics and strategy and how they relate to the SCA. This monster has been tackled many times by men of much greater prowess then myself. I believe the key to small army tactics lies in the discipline of it’s troops. In the SCA we run into an interesting paradigm in that everyone has modern sensibilities and attitudes of individuality. This is not to say that there is not some discipline in a line of fighters, but for the most part people are not paying attention to what is going on around them on their own side. This will require more thought on my part.
