Brilliant! Well thats certainly fleshed out that Vs match somewhat!!!

Fantastic thread.

Its a little dissapointing to see how big a role poor training and maintenance played in the examples documented.
But of course thats a symptom of the sword already being in decline in Europe and regarded as a secondary weapon.

Thanks
Gene
