I'm getting a bit depressed by some of the rather immature posts that are cropping up in this thread, women have breasts get over it, you sound like 12 year olds.

As for the breastplate issue, women who were warriors would not have needed any adjustments as they would be very fit and so wouldn't normally have big breasts (being mostly made of fat), if the needed to they would probably bind them to flatten them too. This is beside the point, as Ludens stated the cultures that such warriors came from weren't really big on breastplates anyway.

Hmm... maybe they aren't wearing bronze/steel solid breastplate, but wearing lamellar breastplates that was more flexible....

But seriously, did you know how ridiculously Sarmatian virgin cavalry in BI fall quickly to arrow fire? that's why in real life, they need some kind of breastplate for protection...

Scale...

Why are you not mentioning the scale?!?

I quite agree. I was only mentioning that I had seen it.

As far as I recall Scale was the armour of choice for steepe warriors, so if they were wealthy enough to afford armour female Sarmatian warriors would have worn Scale. Same goes for the Celts who would have worn chainmail instead of a breastplate.
