Was waiting for this to come up. 1. Chainmail is good against slashing weapons like scimitars, or poorly made weapons, what we call improvised weapons, bread...
Most eurpopean swords were impact trauma weapons - chainmail was not that good against them - plate was only good because of the padding underneath and the...
