Be coo'! Roll with a nice 17th C. name, English preferred, and join up with us if you see any of our members on Tawerna. It'll be hard for you to keep up with volleys and movements, I suppose but at least you'll grasp what we're doing.  :P

When'll you be there? :)

Don't want to disrupt you, but shouldn't threads about clans or regiments be placed in a proper board? ;)

I guess there's no need in such regiment until we have kilts and broadswords  :lol:

That would be truly epic. Put a Cornish kilt in there too!

Honestly I don't think claymores, bows and kilts for Scottish mercenaries are very historicaly accurate. I think they even didn't wear any clothes which differed them from any other mercenaries.

Still, kilts are cool. But if it's not historically accurate then I suppose it shouldn't be implemented.

True. Scottish mercenaries had no kilts, claymores, and shields. Bows were just arriving recruits, and  We are not recruits, right?

you may be right about clothes, though kilt would look better, but Scottish mercenaries indeed had broadswords from their homeland

They can take only bow's from they homeland. Nothing more. Sometimes They come in kilt's, but quickly abandon this.

that's obviously not true, the soldiers were used to these "claymores" which are actualy basket-hilted broadswords and they used it whatever side they fought on. Actually Scotsmen were quite known for using that kind of sword

You cats try to preach scottish history infront of a scotsman, especialy wrong info and I will go off.

They still wore kilts at this point in time, as well as their bonnets, their "claymores" were basket-hilted, broad-bladed swords.

They used these weapons at the end of the 17th century, used a claymore(2h sword) previously they could not export.
