Re: Fact-checking fight-books: comparing historic injury...

Many of the figures with leg wounds also have parry wounds on their arms as if they were knocked down and covered themselves in a fetal or MMA "full guard" position. How this can possibly provide inference in modern combat rec...

Re: Historical examples of center grip heaters
Only one of those was a "heater" style shield...the rest are bucklers and smaller than you are seeking.

Re: Kidney Belt
Part of the problem is that a belt such as we are discussing would have been a massive waste of leather. Why make an inferior armour out of a valuable commodity when you can make a superior armour out of a more plentiful commodity (leather versus wool).
