[MR] "What the heck is a shield for my kinsman" ` YMIR

[coty kannon]

Greetings all,

I have been asked several times what the heck a shield
for my kinsman tourney is, and why are we having it. 
The second question is easier to answer then the
first.   It’s different and fun.   I love it when the
answers are that simple.  

The first question takes a little more explaining to
do.   

A team consists of a shield man and a kinsman. 

The shield man gets a shield.  That’s all you  get.  A
gauntlet will be need to protect your “off” hand.  

The kinsman is armed with either a spear or a single
handed weapon (kinsmans’ choice) If you chose to use a
single handed weapon you will need to have on a
gauntlet on your “off” hand for protection.

The teams will fight until your kinsman is dead

The fluid part of this will be what form this takes. 
It will either be a melee with all teams competing at
one time or a second tourney with teams competing
against each other one at a time.   What form it takes
will depend on the time remaining after the first
tourney.

IF you have more questions DO NOT SEND THEM TO

delivered and I am it is possible that I will not see

Kari went and took his stand, and bade Bjorn stand
back to back with him, and not to put himself too
forward, "but give me all the help thou canst." 
"Well," says Bjorn, "I never had it in my head that
any man should stand before me as a shield, but still
as things are thou must have thy way; but for all
that, with my gift of wit and my swiftness I may be of
some use to thee”
