It sounds like you enjoyed yourselves over there as much as we do in the uk.Not everyone fight to the same system but on the off chance that the UK members ever get over the water or the NA members can make it over here it's a good idea to be aware of Regias fighting style.Your problems start when you adopt the use or differant period weaponry because the fighting stlyes differ.Personally i'm quite happy at the moment fighting the one period,more than one period & the old saying "Jack of all trades master of none" may come up.Thats not to say that those more skilled than i can't master more than one periods fighting style?
As long as fun was had by all & you felt that you got something out of it?May you keep on enjoying your selves.
Regards,
Mik

---ok, what i will do is post my feelings on my first steel weapons experience, i hope that's ok
I will say that all in all it went well, apart from a few locals and a group from Omaha, folk traveled from places as far apart as Phoenix, Arizona; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; San Antonio, Texas to Toronto, Canada.
For some time i had had reservations about steel fighting
All I can say now is that I have been bitten by the bug and want to do more
As much as I like (and defend) SCA fighting, there is nothing like the sound of steel on steel ringing
I get goose bumps just thinking about it!
We practiced the basic, we did some melee training (which was second nature to me being from a melee oriented SCA kingdom), we did some training against other weapons styles
I have started to save up for a Paul Binns sword as they impressed the hell out of me
I will also say that I know steel groups mostly avoid the SCA, this may not be to wise, the interest alone we drew from the SCA is AMAZING, I have around 10- 20 guys wanting to try this now, where as before I couldn't find more that 2 or 3
Luckily my knight and squire brother are interested and we have discussed starting a Vendel age group here
My main worry at this point is that there are alot of folks local to me who attended but most have interests in various times, this will be our biggest obstacle IMO (selecting a narrow time range)
I hope I haven't offended anyone or over stepped my bounds
