I posted on another thread about this but his is the best place to put it. The brigs are running a bit later than originally expected. Should be ready in March. I will update as I know more.

Sorry for the delay....

Are the plates overlapped?

Thanks for the update, Ice. The delay is unfortunate, but I understand it is factors beyond your control.

No the plates do not overlap. It is more of a brigandine than a coat of plates.

Cheers!

Huh. I wasn't aware of any historical brigs that had plates that didn't overlap. Learn something new every day, I guess.

How's it feel to take a hard shot to one of the plates? I've been putting together a CoP for myself, but something like this looks lighter, more mobile, and easier to put together.

Honestly, I am no expert so do not base any knowledge on me. The brigs I have seen did not overlap but I am sure that I do not know everything.

The plates take much of the weight out of the strike. In some cases, even better than plate as it absorbs some of the energy as it moves. I think they work pretty well.

For thrusts, I would rather have plate, though.

Ah, well, thanks!

As a very occasional East Kingdom fighter who would really like to try fighting Florentine (I think it'll translate better from Belegarth than my no-headshots shieldwork), I think I'll stick with heavier torso armor.

Still, that brig looks pretty awesome.
