I’m seeing a lot of variance in the ratios. Some flails have longer handles, some have short. Some have chains as long or longer than the handle, some have almost non-existent chains. What are the advantages and disadvantages of various handle and chain lengths, and is there an “optimal” ratio?
I think the chain should be the length of half the width of your opponents shield, or thereabouts. That’s just me guessing and I’m no nerd about medieval warfare.
Flails are apparently kinda shit but prolly work against shields.
