Many medieval fencing groups attempt to recreate the military tactics and practices of the past through simulated combat. With the exception of behourd, groups that engage in maneuvers rely on the capabilities offered by the equipment and weapons at their disposal to replicate as closely as possible the combat techniques used by warriors between the fall of the Roman Empire and the advent of the musket. While the Roman influence was already strongly evident in the formations of Viking troops, Crusader companies, and Burgundian lancers, no contemporary manual attests to their use with certainty. Nevertheless, this book gives enthusiasts an idea of what is achievable in combat situations with warriors well-trained in medieval fencing and equipped with proper armor. With a little practice, any new recruit can very quickly become a skilled and agile medieval warrior, provided that commands are given clearly and within a reasonable timeframe.
