ah i forgot the name btw, but that "normal" chainmail where the metal is just pressed is called "butted-chainmail"

but A E S T H E T I C

no padding underneath

wouldn't stop shit from splitting your skull

you can literally

i dont think they are too worried about the mannequin tho

wear padding underneath

wont stop you lol

Don't get hit. Even with armor, a hammer is all they need to fuck you

theyre selling chainmail not coifs

Don't get hit. In and out

well there are reasons as to why there werent many agi-specced fighters in medieval warfare lol

... hammer greatsword. Ima make a guard out of a hammer

nigger what?

i mean

literally scouts

exist

you know

that was legit a real thing, but its kinda wonky

the crossguard is already a "hammer"

the best technique is still the shield and the sword personally

armor is to avoid all blows that *glance*

well scouts arent fighters lol

axe/shield

they are scouters

they kill people

namely other scouts

Brb, I've gotta acquire shit for degenerate means

or mace/shield

they also ambush regular soldiers

of course a hammer will fuck your day. but it'll have a chance of being deflected if wearing armor, theres no chance if you're not

not everyone has the perfect swing

hammers can go through deflection with the power of weight tho

spear

a sword gets raped by deflecting armour

hmm decent point, but i dont think that came up an awful lot historically, like gear/training sets for dedicated scouts (not spies)

@Lucienne d'Anwyl if its at a good angle you nigger

ill google a bit

sometimes

you swing

and it isnt that good

i mean

spies werent used that much

compared to scouts

reconaissance is like

top tier my dude

as for dedicated builds i dunno

i mean

i assume a bow

probably dirks

scouts probably just had a bow or a sword and clothes

see the thing is

maybe a gambeson

if you collapse a tree

on top of a knight

you can kill him with your dirk

ez

gambeson and chain is what 80% of people had tbh

and a helmet

see the thing is

the helmet still helps you

because most niggers with hammers

wont always have perfect accuracy

yeah the internet seems to be of the mind that dedicated-scouts werent really a thing in medieval period

longbowman stood their ground at Agincourt and killed knights up close

and they may have a bad angle and swing somewhat on point

the other thing

just light infantry/cavalry given scout tasks using their same gear seems to me vastly more common

if a hammer has an armour piercing spike

it dont matter how good your armour is

youre getting fucking GANKED

so instead of a perpendicular crunch, its at a 170 degree angle and gets deflected

it does if you parry

yeah most hammers arent actually hammers lol

scouts where mostly light cavalry and skirmishers sent ahead of the army to look around

a parry can mean he glances your head

no helmet means you're dead

@Kealor scouts in european history

and it rhymes too

are mostly savages

never heard of dedicated scout coprs before modern times

like real scouts

usually mercenaries

and savages

okay, you want real scouts?

light cavalry

done

nah

mounted infantry

sent ahead because we don't care about them

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

i mean i cant see anything

wouldn't they just tell their light cavalry to do a run around

^

and then come back

i mean when i played M2TW I always used mercenaries like that

granted
