User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Season 2 opener: Horace Altman vs King Arthur/@comment-74.114.172.12-20150108162800

I would like to point out that a buckler is made out of wood renforced with iron. A war hammer could crush a solid steel shield of the same thickness as the buckler with a few well placed blows. I give a buckler 3 hits, if that, before it is destroyed and becomes almost worthless. Then there is the fact that 5 knights from Araluen and Horace would never be able defeat Sir Gawain, Sir Percival, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad,Sir Tristram and King Arthur in straight fight. What this certainly would not be. While the knight from Araluen would have trained for many years together, they would not vetreans of the same calibre of the knights of the round table. Arthur was also considered to a tactical genius, while Horace is, at best, a solid commander
