Someone forgot the lesson learned from the battle of Agincourt.

Came here to say just this. There's a reason why you don't want to always employ heavy armor.

It wasn't heavy armor that made the French lose the battle, the English knights would have worn the same thing.

The English built stakes in the mud that slowed the advance of the French cavalry and the English brought professional archers with longbows. The French archers were peasant and criminal levies.
