Polybius, horse archers arrows, roman armour, oh my.

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Well, to be honest, its not really much of a leap in logic...it's pure commonsense. And again you have added the information I neglected, as in the mass of arrows fired. As I said, "given a good shot', which I thought would be pretty self explanatory.....it can be assumed an arrow will penetrate mail. I don't feel I have made any great leap in logic, just prehaps assuming that I didn't need to teach anyone how to suck eggs on here, as most people are experts in one field or another?

Thats what happens when one Ass-u-mes....mea culpa!
