User blog comment:Swg66/Ancient User Warrior Tournament: Round 6 Lt.Chard vs Lachlan Blake/@comment-3004200-20110627091638

Ok, the buckler is there to enhance movement, a thing i'm goinfg to need to beat heavily armoured opponents. The celtic helmet also reveals the face to attack, my sheild spike and cutlass could all go for a stab in the face, and the sheild would also obscure his view if i tried to stab him with it.

His armour (the Lorica segmentata) is also not as protective as my armour, and can be penetrated by my falcata and i'm fairly sure the Kris could penetrate it.

Chard's armour also does not list any armour of the hand, where i could slash him with my sword or sheild, and remove him of his war hammer, his best chance of damaging me through my armour. I also have a range advantage (although I caused a lot of confusion with it, sorry swg) as i can hurl spears at chard from a distance, and by the time he got close enough i could have hit him in the face or penetrated his armour.

For those reasons I am voting for myself.
