This is the latest iteration of my armour. I've dropped the coif, and added a gorget and spaulders to the mix. In addition, I'm now wearing knee cops (not shown in this picture), and will be adding elbow cops, a breastplate and possibly a helm, and my kit will be complete.
I've originally aimed for a Milanese style kit, but my kit is starting to look more Early Gothic Transitional, which is just as well.
The rest of the demo team has obtained upgrades too. Here my knee cops are visible.
Tome and I are still primary sparring partners, even in demos. Tome prefers staying at a distance while I prefer going up close and punching/grappling. It's still a toss up whose style will eventually dominate. Here, the ending is scripted - it casts no aspersions on Tome's ability as a fighter, the pesky dance-around-er. :)
The boys with some well-deserved R&R after the demo.

The "pesky dancer-around-er" says: "I have a $600 sword. Doesn't make sense if I don't use it more." :p
Aspersions aside, you're currently better at closing distances to grapple than I am at maintain distance to strike, you smelly sticky grappler, you.
That's only because you're currently backing off. Your sidestepping is improved a lot and you've figured out that I actually have great difficulty changing direction.
