In the 17th century the Qing army was equipped with both lamellar and brigandine armour. A brigandine was simply a type of armour worn by a foot soldier. However, depictions of brigandine armour with sleeves are known. During later periods, Korean armor also included forms of brigandine, chain mail, and scale armor. A brigandine is a form of body armour from the Middle Ages. The jack is similar to the brigandine. Kikko is the Japanese form of brigandine. In "Brigandine", the player controls one of the six playable nations. These wore brigandine, along with plate arm and leg protection, as well as a helmet. Brigandine features two gameplay modes, both turn-based&colon; a preparation mode and a battle mode. In essence, the brigandine jacket was constructed of metal plates sewn into a fabric jacket.
