Got a Real-World Weapon, Armor or Tactics Question? Mk. XXIV

[Max_Killjoy]

I thought the definition of lamellar armor what that it was plates attached to something else, and plates-woven-together was that they called scale-mail, but I know that the term "mail" (or "maille"?) is misused a lot. So apparently I was even more wrong than I thought.

AFAIK, "scale" armor is little plates attached to a backing, lamellar armor is little plates laced together.
