Pretty much cinches what type of armor the troops get. No matter how poorly it works. You had troop buying dragon skin out of their own pocket because of the bullshit armor they were being given. The officials got their panties in a bunch about it and wouldn't allow them any other kind of armor. Even if it is the soldiers own dime. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Skin_body_armor http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1560937/posts And this link you're going to love.
