<DIV>I have often have had them do the same, and then said prove it, BTW I was a reenactor as well, , many time periods, and despite I love the fantasy of it, I hate camping, lol</DIV>
<DIV>they do fight for short periods of time in heat, then they cant move for hours, how many times have I had to call a "medic" or "chiurgeon" over when someone over heated, or got heatstroke,</DIV>
<DIV>I would allow that walking takes less , maybe triple the times, because of training, or allow a skill roll for some kind of survival to allow the person to keep wearing armor, but then add issues of chaffing from the armor, including issues of infection<BR></DIV>
