This is wrong. In real world Armor evolutionize from fullplate to lighter Landsknecht armor, from Landsknecht armor to Cuirass covering only Torso. Armor covering whole body is stupid idea. So, it was because covering the whole body it's a stupid idea, not because the diffusion of gunpowder weapons made plate armors essentially useless and, as a direct consequence, high mobility became once again preferable to high protection in military tactics. Good to know ... Oh, another "expert". 1. Gunfire not effective before late 19th century. http://en.wikipedia....Charge_(warfare) 2 Fulplate have numerios problems: - Bad Ventilation - Too heavy - Too thin - Overheating - Low mobility - Difficult dressing - etc. (Read "Handbuch der Waffenkunde. Das Waffenwesen in seiner historischen Entwickelung vom Beginn des Mittelalters bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts " by Wendelin Boeheim.) Fullplate armor used only in isolationists medieval Europe and European always fail when trying use this against East Nations.

Now it's male boobs armor thread Five Plate Hinged Chahar-Ai-Ne Armour of this this type is often decorated with embossed pectorals and sometimes with other embossed designs (sometimes at the same time). On an armour in Poland (originally given by the Shah of Persia to the Polish king) these embossed designs are in the shape of suns (one smiling sun centered on each of the five plates). Additionally, the tops of the front and back plates are often either round or cut into a "three-lobed", or "five-lobed" shape (front and back being generally of the same shape). This armour remained popular in Persia and India into the nineteenth century. As mentioned above, it is also to be found in the collections of Eastern European potentates, generally as a gift from an Asian ruler. 12th Century Steppes Warrior Kipchak or Pecheneg of the Russian Steppes area. The reconstruction is a composite from several statuetes. Most wear no visible armour other than the Brassier and a cap helmet. It has been suggested that maile or lamellar was worn underneath the tunic (one figure wears what may be a lamellar girdle covering only the front of the torso).

Norway appoints Muslim woman Minister of Culture

lol. And I suppose you also think that Breivik was just fighting the good fight, albeit in a misguided manner. Oh, and FYI: there is nothing wrong with hedonism. Enjoying oneself isn't modern society's problem. Enjoying oneself without giving a damn about others is society's problem - and in that regard the root of the problem does indeed lie partly at insufficiently regulated capitalism. But hedonism ain't the cause here buddy. Sex ain't the reason society is in trouble. Drugs are not the reason society is in trouble. Increasing acceptance of the fact that two men can love each other as much as a man and a woman is not the reason that society is in trouble. And you know what? Muslims aren't even the reason society is in trouble. The reason happens to be far less bigoted, and far more logical: people being greedy is the cause of society's problems. Sound like hedonism? It's not. For example: I can **** my girlfriend all day if I want to. It's completely hedonistic. But it doesn't cost anybody anything. (And I'm sorry to break it to you, but yes this is true of two men ****ing as well.) He Who Has A Great Nose Thinks Everybody Is Speaking Of It. You COMPLETELY miss the point of Hedonism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q31WDHfrIvo -

No woman armor can be in Medieval world, because women non equal men in these societies (and women warriors must masqueraded as Men). True women warrior cultures (Saka, Sarmats, Persian (before Islam), Pagan Slavic and many other Pagan Nations) died before they can develop plate armor. We actually don't know how their women plate armor must look.

You did't read about the codpiece, did't you? Before you get your head out of sand and understand the difference between armor you find in museum, armor for high ranking officers and real ******* armor, for the love of god, ban yourself in google. Difference in price. Rabble can't buy them and wear "simplified"/"realistic" armor.

Exactly, there are so many flaws with him claiming asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy and not wanting to go to Sweden. Primarily there is a much stronger extradition treaty between the UK and USA. If the USA wanted to extradite him they would have requested it. Why wait till he gets to Sweden? I am convinced that there are legitimate charges he is trying to avoid in Sweden Okay. US brands Assange an 'enemy of the state' - just like al-Quaeda - because Sweden http://www.tgdaily.c...-like-al-quaeda
