Can anyone give me the citation info for, or at least which publications in which I might find, Dr. Alan William's tests of the relative efficiency of arms and armor? i would like to get my grubby little paws on them before I graduate and lose access to a university library. Thanks.

What I meant was the tests werein he dropped pointy things on armor to figure out whether or not a couched lance could piece a mailshirt, etc, etc. If that was in The Knight and the Blast Furnace I am going to be very disappointed - I already requested it, had to look through it in a hurry, and didn't see anything of the sort. The library isn't going to let me request it again.

That info, at least the results of testing, is about 3/4 down the paqge that I sent you.
It's rather brief unfortunately

All of Chapter 9 in The Knight and the Blast Furnace is relevant. Most of the chapter is about compromising plate armour but the mail test results are on pp. 942-943.
