One of the stumbing blocks in doing any martial production in the SCA is getting the fight details down right. I agree with your point about the armor. I'd say something similar for the army. There was no heraldry or swarmns of people and no great battle scene. Given what we do in the SCA, this makes almost no sense.
The fight scenes were fine, but we are a group that does fighting all the time and is used to seeing melee, tournament and war. Especially in such a martial play, I'd expect to see this.
Sunday night Jehan and Luke were in the audience and my heart sank. There we were a company of pikers, and we looked terrible by real standards. Sigh.
