I love this show.

The one on formal duels was both enlightening and greatly entertaining.

Good times!

I've been a fan of Conquest for some time.  Great material for a fantasy writer.  I've been dissapointed in their 'modern' episodes, though.

This show is great.  What I like the most is they just don't tell you this axe could tear apart this kind of armor, etc, they actually let people take a whack at the real stuff so you can see with your own eyes.  I was surprised at how well the breastplate held up.  Chainmail turned out to be quite a bit weaker then I thought, and despite what you hear most gamers say it held up against arrows the best of all (I mean of weapon vs chainmail, not chainmail vs other armor).
