it makes one wonder how fast things changed, and how many sets of armor and blades were changed and adapted over time. Yes there are representative samples, but I wonder if between battles subtle changes were made, or was it more of a large leap to an advantage, then a large equalizing leap the other way? I mean I have an idea of how things go, but its really hard to wrap my head around a few hundred years of history and figure out the actual pace of change.
