Cool cheers, I have to say I was a bit surprised that the first article gave good iron a DR per inch of 68 only 2 less than RHAe! So yeah that could well be an example of an alloy that just happens to be called "iron good".
Out of interest what calculations are you're using to derive DR per inch values from real world materials here? It would be interesting to see the mechanism behind this. Of course the problem here is that's just one variable when it comes to assigning game values to historical and generic materials described in the article.
Anyway cheers for your info
