One of the guys,Quaff, (Who is in this tank unit) once, during training
(wearing mail) lost his spear in a skirmish. Was charged by annother bloke
(mail, sword and shield). Quaff, who was weaponless, parryied the sword
with his hands (Steel sword at speed, with blows pulled on contact),
trapped the guy's wrist, quick hip toss and disarm, and "killed" him with
his own sword.
Followed by a shamefaced "oops, I'm not supposed to do that". Well fitted
armor doesen't affect you as much as you'd expect, although it does slow
you down a bit. Sold plates would be worse though.
