I don't know any specific recorded instances, but it's quite probable that soldiers in Anglo-Irish borderlands would have worn mixed gear.įorum Index > Off-topic Talk > Is the vanguard from chivalry medieval warfare accurate? In the late sixteenth century, you had English pike-&-shot armies facing Irish heavy infantry in high helms and hauberks wielding long-handled axes. Additionally, older styles persisted longer in certain region than in others, with Ireland being a striking example. Some English nobles in the sixteenth century allegedly mustered with armor that made amused Spanish soldiers think they'd stepped out of a medieval manuscript. ![]() There's considerable evidence equipment was at times used decades or centuries after its manufacture, so kits we might call temporally mismatched historically appeared on the battlefield.

The melee combat system is a concept that should be experimented with more, but I guess when you're a historical stickler your enjoyment of video games can be a casualty.īy the way Dan, I thought that Ailettes were mainly used between 12. When you have a game that imitates realism then the inaccuracies are harder for me to accept. Dane axe offers less damage but allows you to kill enemies over a large range. ![]() It is one thing to be anachronistic or fantastic, but it is another to just violate common sense. The weapons available to a raider are the messer, Dane axe, glaive, and two-handed hammer. At the same time really silly things, like knights using two-handed weapons in one hand and carrying the heaviest shields, even though they have the heaviest armor, just irk me. That I do commend because it is executed well. Most games do not really go into the timing aspect of fencing, with parries having to be executed at the right moment and attacks requiring commitment and stamina to execute, and feints being an option. My opinions concerning "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare" are that the hand-to-hand combat system is better than most video games that have a melee attack in first person. However, it has a big windup, so it's somewhat recommended to swing earlier rather than later.Posted: Mon 01 Apr, 2013 3:42 pm Post subject: This can often lead to instant beheadings if it contacts your foe's neck, and can result in substantial damage on any other part of the body. Unlike the Vanguard's Polearms, the Greatsword (and all their 2 handed swords) have a wide horizontal-swing sprint attack instead of the usual stab. It is highly recommended to land at least one stab when fighting knights as they have high swing resistance. Like most swords, The Greatsword is capable of swing damage through the horizontal and overhead slashes, and pierce damage with its stab. The Greatsword's reputation is not unfounded: it holds an excellent balance of speed, power, and reach that makes it easy to use and a favorite for veterans and beginners alike. It is the signature weapon of the Vanguard, and one of the most popular weapons used in the game. "The Greatsword is as balanced as a Two-handed sword can be, the Greatsword offers huge power and reach with only minor setbacks in speed."
