One of these days I'm gonna try to join a Belegarth chapter, so where can I get the weapons for it?


First and foremost, visit the realm in your area. Do you know which one that would be? Get ahold of someone from the realm, most likely their warlord/president/king/whatever or their lieutenant. Call them, find out when a good time to visit would be. Most realms have loaner gear that you can use to get a hang of how it works.

From that point, if you decide to stick with it, there's two options for weapons. The first and cheapest is to make your own.

The other is to buy them from Edhellen. They're of very high quality last for a long time, but are much spendier as a result.

So have you ever fought someone who duel wields?
Can we use 2 handed warhammers?

Yes, quite a bit on the multiple weapons. People use it a lot for single sparring, but it really comes down to the person. At this moment I've got a 34" sword and a 42" stabbing saber that I've used a fair bit for two handed fighting.

Yes, warhammers are totally viable. They're heavy, slow, and have a small striking surface, which makes problems. A lot of the sport is centric around speed and footwork, and a warhammer is kinda contrary to those. That said, a warhammer with a stabbing tip on it is good against shields when you're fighting up in the line.

So if I go all berserk style on you with two axes, and I'm quick how would you beat me, considering said berserk style usually may leave someone's defenses wide open?
Luckily there's three groups from one Realm, or what do you call the ones that can span most of the US? There's three of them in the state I live in, and two close to me, one really close....now once I get a job I'll try to contact them, because I doubt either of my parents would be willing to drive me down there for this, though my little brother may laugh if I actually managed to get sent flying from a hit.

I'm going to guess that anyone with a brain and a good sword and shield, or just a sword, can beat a "berserker" player. o3o

It depends. People that go ******** crazy with two flails can be hard as ******** to beat, because the hinge on the flail means that you have to not only block the weapon, but keep it far enough away that the head can't wrap around and hit you. Axes would be much harder to get around fast. If you want to go with a similar effect, the best thing to do would be to make two short/mid-length skirmishing scimitars with stabbing tips. I've seen some really nice ones around on the Belegarth national boards.

But generally, yes. Someone that keeps a cool head is almost always going to win out in a match and a person with sword and shield has an advantage over someone with two swords on the defensive side of it.

There's a reason one has archers or pikemen in regiments.

Somehow I doubt that their battles are anything like the war of the Roses. xp

True, pity they don't use muskets.
