And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Man, stop and look at that for a minute. That crusader is about to deal Akmed out and if you look at it long enough you can just about feel what's coming.
s.k, I agree, if he can keep his right arm attached. that scimitar is perfectly placed to come up through his unarmored armpit if Haji is good enough to see and use it. Dennis the librarian shusher
Armpit is protected by maille and the arming jacket is 5-8 layers of rough linen with each layer offset by 90 degrees so it acts like kevlar. Haji's in the wrong position to stab, he can only slash, which both the maille and the jack are very good at stopping.
Haji's best bet is to aim at the... well, that damascus scimitar sucks against good plate and maille, so his best bet is to knock the Euro dude down and then go all stabby in the genitals and places like that.
One on one, the Euro dude's got the Haji, hands down. Haji's always had overwhelming numbers and that's what cost us the Holy Lands.
Euro dude's weapon, being good steel, can bash and hack and poke all day long.
Hard to believe that's a computer painting. I would've bet oil.
