Why no one dual wielded shields? Combined with a helmet it would

Life isn't a video game faggot. Go back to /v/ and stay there.

Range, weight, cost.

Why didn't people just go to battle in big iron boxes?

>>1438503
Movement mostly

>>1438448
kinda hard with only one leg

>>1438511
What about big spherical iron boxes ?

>>1438569
Spherical wouldn't work, the people inside would get dizzy. It has to be a square or rectangular box

There's the fighting style with rapier and a cloak, but what about dual-wielding two cloaks?

that would be epic can you even think of it?

>>1438513
you cant see it because its actually weilding an cloak of invisibility, with a third shield under it

>>1438511

So why not put wheels on your big iron box?

Why couldn't the invading generals just smuggle their entire army under the guise of merchants inside the city?

>>1438628
Really makes you think.

Theres not a lot you can do with two shields to stop someone from just grabbing you and stabbing you

>>1438490
the cost comes in all of your soldiers dying because none of them hade any weapons other then 2 clumsy wooden boards

>>1438645
Well it's their fault for not getting gud then.

>>1438641
smash their hed in

>>1438628
There were a times when people built a wall around cities and arrival of gigantic amount of foreigners was seen suspiciously.

>>1438571
They can just run inside like a hamster in its wheel.

He was probably not the only one, but Henry IV tried that when he was sieging Paris to take his throne.
He sent captains with carts of flour to enter the gate and then hold it for the army. Somehow the defenders saw through the ruse.

I see your flag without it being there

You realize this thread is a joke, dont you?

>>1438448
Needs more spikes

>>1438448
It doesn't mean anything unless you're wearing Havel's Armor as well, but then you're a slow, fat-rolling shit with low Stamina regen.

Unless you get a soldier to carry below 30% his maximum carry weight, he's suboptimal. You should have suggested we send soldiers into battle with a super greatsword and their underwear and maybe some rings.

dammit Frodo

>>1438573
Whirling dervish?

>>1438448
How are you going to kill things with two shields retard?

Run at them? Tackle them? Smack them with it? There are absolutely no offensive capabilities to having two shields, unless you are a 400lb linebacker.

>>1439252
This desu, don't forget about the resins either though.

>>1439463
Spiked shields

>>1438714
subtle anon.

>>1438621
Then you have a tank

>>1438621
they did that with battering rams

one of them would have disrupted a phalanx formation for sure, they could have put ballistas firing through holes all around it and a catapult on the top

>>1441951

But what if it fell into a swimming pool?

>>1438448
the extra shield is useless in battle (whether you are in formation or scattered)
maybe it would be good for a medieval commando operation

>>1438714
Why can't all posting be this sublime? Have a (you).
