irl you dont treat mercenaries like meat shields
your own army is expendable
also sent them in to carry the siege equipement
or you lose your mercenaries lul
a lot of mercenaries were highly elite
most mercenaries are
they where in my army
what do you think the third son of a lord does
his family buys him armour and a horse
and he becomes a mercenary
can't pay them if they dead is what i though
as opposed to your typical army of peasants
just like D-Dogs
they usually were in a company
so you payed even if they died

More cushin for pushin brother @Flavius Stilicho
unless its seriously multilayer
depends on the bow/mail
arrowheads are pretty long
depends on the range it was fired at
longbows probably
more cusion for not dying
yeah depends on a few factors
@Lucienne d'Anwyl this nigger has never heard of glancing blows
depends on whether or not they shot with the flow of air or against it
also people did bring shields/siege equipment for that issue
A good kite shield to stand behind and a chestplate and you are largely covered.
reee
chestplates are gay
dont say chestplate
say
crossbowmen had stationary shields
