We have a new and very interesting video from Tod of Tod's Stuff, fellow pointy things enthusiasts.

It's interesting to see that medium infantry could be fairly well protected as long as it steered a bit clear of the elite archers even without any plate. They won't be that useful in storming of the front line, but the tactical value of being able to somewhat effectively threaten flanks or deny ground at relatively low cost is not to be underestimated - especially since arrows are a limited resource and the archers may well decide not to shoot at targets that far.
