Can we have a Historical Arms and Armor thread?
I have a folder full of chilean military uniforms like pic related. Would you be interested in me dumping it here?
>>27862
Go ahead, that sounds cool, they're both historical and fit the arms and armor thing.
>>27899
Well then. If you need some historical background, just tell me.
>>27921
Would any of you have images of Town Militia of sorts with their varied weapon and armor whether it'd be uniformed or not?
Any would do, but preferably of the medieval era, such as pikemen.

Why didn't the Japanese use shields?
They are reasonably cheap and effective.

Persian warfare was mostly skirmishing based. Thats why the Greeks and later Alexander was so effective against them, they never really had to deal with heavy infantry that much.
Look at the Immortal there, that was basically the heaviest armor in their army. The heavy infantry in Achaemenid armies were typically mercenaries.
With the Parthians came the influence of steppe warfare and integration of the really powerful heavy cav in the Persian armies. Its why the Sassanids fared so well against the Huns, by that time they had basically perfected how to deal with the constantly marauding steppe tribes, horse archers and cataphracts.
Some arms from east of the Indus

>>32396
There was a little. That one anon tried explaining persian warfare a while ago.
Does anyone know how much time it took in medieval time to make 1 full body chainmail?

>any woman who wore a toga was immediately recognizable as a prostitute
Oh man, I've been to those parties.
>>32445
Probably not much longer than today, assuming you have the required materials at hand.
New thread >>32494
>>32445
Not as long as you'd think. For an experienced armorer, they would have been able to do it relatively quickly.
Think about this way, for someone who has never cooked before slicing 3 onions would take a while, but an experienced chef could probably do it in under a minute

Best look
Were a lot of these helmets used in combat? The really narrow eye slots make it seem like you couldn't see anything. And some of these full armor sets seem cumbersome, were they designed to be used in combat as well?
