Both these products (don't like that word really - sounds cold) look great.

But while we're on the subject of Hero Bands I have a question (or two).

Clan war bands seem to act very much like hero bands in many respects - their own wyters, etc. But as I understand it the fyrd never leaves the tula - so would be covered by the clan wyter. So my questions are:

1. Does the war band wyter only cover the warriors and weaponthanes abroad?
2. Although weaponthanes and co. are obviously strong if full scale clan war breaks out how do they stand a chance alone against the enemy fyrd plus their weaponthanes?
3. Or does this mean that clan wars breakout on borders so all can take part and that the victors weaponthanes then loot the enemy tula?
4. Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely here?

Anything else on this line would also be appreciated. Thanks
