Aden Steinke speaks about arm armour and hits: "But this assumes the hit location table is reasonable... but if one is a fast moving opponent whose arms are in motion it is not."

I have experience in both the SCA and modern fencing. So I've been a "slow moving armoured lump" and a fast moving opponent. Arms get hit in both cases.

There may be some validity to the suggestion that a shield should provide some degree of passive protection to the shield arm even if you don't make your parry. Go ahead and suggest something, but please don't ask us to make another roll of the dice to decide the issue.
