V.E.3 of the Rapier Rules allows for the use of Guantlets in Heavy
Rapier and Cut & Thrust. The rules state that only steel
parts of the guantlet (chain mail specifically) are inpenetrable.
I used one of HRM Ulsted's Guantlets at Elfsea. <br>
Sorry Don Pieter, but the answer, according to the current rules, is
only in Heavy Rapier & Cut & Trust. Also, according to
the way I am reading the rules, this DOES NOT have to be agreed on
beforehand (like tip cuts).<br>
