Re: (TFT) Shields

[Jay Carlisle <maou.tsaou@gmail.com>]

Shield needs to be... sorted out a bit I think.
I'm not completely sure having made no real study in specifics but My
inclination currently is there's some "shield" types that are more
offensive in purpose than defensive and there's also a group designed
to function in mass as a Unit more than as a single combat piece of
equipment...
Where do portable wall sections come in for example?
Pilum?
Polished?
Stretchers?
IDK... tinkin hard.
