Realism is for p****** :)
Lets not forget mighty Beowulf could swim across the freezing North Sea in a full chainmail :) .. on a *slightly* more realistic note, Im pretty sure the Spartan troopers were expected to run forever in heavy armour (plus the good old 18 lbs shield they used) .. dont get confused by that very silly (but entertaining) 300 film, they actually didnt go into battle in speedos (possibly a result of too many aussies in the cast), more head-to-toe bronze plate, far more weight than most greek soldiers wore at the time .. arent our little TFT guys and gals more related to these fellas than 'all very logical realism' ? Hells bells, the guy covering your flank is a reptile man or gargoyle often as not .. realism, bah humbug.
