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
