The Armour Archive

as the title says :im curious also as to if this place changes when you use a different weapon :me i get hit alot in the limbs (arms more-so) but tend to get hit in the head or the legs when fighting with a shield (makes sense)

Lots of shoulder and arm shots when fighting great weapon, head and legs when S&S.

Greetings,

Left leg.

It depends on who I'm fighting.

left leg.

above the knees somewhere

Where I'm not blocking. Overall, probably head the most.

My shield.

The way my body feels today... everywhere.

Since I fight with a small heater I probably get hit in the left leg more than anything. Usually though I get some shield on it just not enough.

When fighting great weapons I get hit in the arms if I don't get the sword over far enough for the block or the shot skips off of the sword.

I think the semi-permanent bruise on my left hip says a lot.

I think it's left leg, tall with a 28" round... tempted to go 30" round.

ss upper left thigh
florintine face
glaive dick
I am learning to be more agile every day!!!

Once I get tired it's right up the middle slot... GONK!... then I know it's time for a break (and some water).

Pennsic....

G

Bottom third of the left thigh. I lunge too deeply!

SS- side of head. My shield needs to be strapped better.

Florentine -Never really get hit by florentine. No one in my area does it much beyond just playing around.

Greatweapon - Can usually hold up pretty well against great weapons. I'd say head though.

My head usually, but if I have my shield out then right above my left knee.

The hip pocket

In the ego.

you bastard, beat me to it.

actually i think i take more to my sword than my shield.... so, just to be different, yet as cool, i will say SWORD!

Happy to say my shield work is getting better- I get hit mainly in the head, upper left thigh/hip, right arm and shoulder. ... No shoulder armour, no tassets. Thank goodness I have a helmet, right?
*rarely* ever do I get hit in my left arm or shoulder, right leg, inside left leg, or either side of the ribs. (In fact, can't remember the last time for any of those. - wait, got hit in my right side of the ribs while legged a while back.)
But generally, that is really, really unusual.

My shield arm sometimes gets tired, and I drop it, which means that people hit me in the head. But, at least that part is well armored.

your shield arm gets "tired"?? thats so odd to me. my shield weighs 28 pounds and my shield arm is about the last thing that ever gets tired on me.

why does yours?

Must be the Miller Lite.

Faceplate for me!

When I'm fighting? Left cheek, and head.

Come on! No knights out there that get hit on the squire?

Well I suppose I don't know. I started fighting years ago, and got my W/S Auth, then didn't pick up a shield for over 5 years. Fought everything with a bastard sword, polearm, great sword, or 2W for quite awhile.

It might be how I hold it, or how it's strapped. For comparison, a M16 weighs 8lbs. Which doesn't seem like a lot. People can get tired holding 8 lbs at arms length for extended periods.

I tend to start the day out fighting open form with the leading edge of the shield out in front of me, as the day wears on, holding that shield out at arms length tends to tire the arm out. So then it gets lazy, resting on the left leg. Whap! Crap! Didn't lift the shield in time.

I was gonna say "My brother in law".
He's a Squire... just not mine. In previous games of make believe, dressing funny, and beating people, I used my knight. The honest answer though has to be "Near my groin"

Think maybe I talk too much smak...
