    Yes, a shame it went by the wayside. I heard somewhere that those who didn’t win, seldom got a second shot...

    Put it this way.

    The knights of the 15th century, would make mincemeat out of any potential 21st century opponent, using the same equipment and tactics!

    We would literally have to reinvent the wheel!

    It would be like "this text talks about something called a right cross, how exactly was that done?"
