The whole European swords vs Japanese Katanas is so dumb. We all know an Egyptian Khopesh is the coolest blade and that swords in general suck because of ✨armoured combat✨
A well balanced mace or a long spear are far better in combat than a blade only used to show others how much pussy they slay (because they can afford a bunch of sex from brothels) or to show that you are, in fact, are better than everyone else (samurai)

So, I can't afford full plate harness.
BUT...
I can afford, steadily, to equip plastic harness simulators.
So I guess I'm investing in this for the time being, to get some experience in harness without a plate harness.
Knight is in fact going to do some true knightly combat, soon.

In the style of St George, a mounted knight skewers a dragon smaller than his horse (Kevin Siembieda, The Palladium Book of Weapons and Armour by Matthew Balent, Palladium Books, 1981)

I'd like to propose a fictional situation, and I hope you'll weigh in if interested. Let's say a portal opens in modern times, and a single champion of any age, wearing appropriate garb and armor, and a period-accurate weapon, steps out. Assuming no firearms are present, what, in your professional opinion, would be among the most dangerous armor/weapon pairings to exit that portal and face our fictional protagonist(s)?
If we're looking for more specific situations like terrain, let's assume this happens three times: once in the forest with wide clearings but dense underbrush, once in a room with tight corners and obstacles, and once in a mine with good lighting and long but narrow corridors.
First off, I'm not a professional...!
(1) A forest with wide clearings and dense brush: a lightly armoured man-at-arms (mail or brigandine on body, maybe a plackart on the lower abdomen and plates on limbs or at least arms, also some sort of helmet, non-enclosed for good peripheral vision) carrying a late medieval longsword or possibly Swiss sabre, and full Talhoffer / Lichtenauer / dei Liberi training in how to use it.
(2) A room with tight corners and obstacles: either the aforesaid lightly armoured man-at-arms, carrying a short Messer and once again with full training in how to use it OR an unarmoured man with a smallsword and full training in how to use it for combat, not just fencing - so, basic training by Angelo and lethality polish by McBane.
(3) A mine with good lighting and long but narrow corridors: peripheral vision and "nimble" mobility are much less of an issue, so full plate armour with unnecessary equestrian bits left off, carrying a pollaxe (poleaxe) and with full training in its use from "Le Jeu de la Hache" (Axe-play) and possibly an arming sword and dagger at the belt for backup.
That's today's answer, tomorrow's or next week's might differ in some or all respects, and I'm going to be interested to see what others suggest. ;->
HTH!

Happy Monday, folks! Here's a short video practicing Fiore Dei Liberi's 4th master dagger cover at full force/speed. Some say that it can't be done at full force, so we were testing that hypothesis. While it certainly can be something you move to after another defense, we think the results speak for themselves.

drew a sangheili who uses depleted energy swords as brass knuckles
also this, based on a very specific pose reference (hence proportions)

Avengers genderbend where every member backstory or appearance is SO DRASTICALLY different due to the gender switch. except Loki who is exactly the same
#think about it#Natasha's Red Room training would've probably put her in a program closer to the winter soldier one right#Thor doesn't get with the masc cultural standard of Asgard anymore he's some hyperfeminine girlypop who wants to also slay enemies despite#steve rogers wouldn't have been expected to go to war at all but let's suppose he fought to get there and was serum selected for her heart#her stage performances would have been different for sure so the eventual combat outfit would have been different. for sure#Tony Stark being a smart woman in STEM would've had to face more pressure to prove her place in the field#probably makes her actually arrogant but more aware of the impact her work has. probably outspoken about sexist double standards#probably would come off as less reckless for decisions after creating the armour though#bet the tech bros hate her even tho she leads the field#probably seen as more of the leader of the avengers even tho normally cap is seen more that way#clint barton idk#outfit change#everyone with drastically different designs and Loki there like ‘hi’
