Can you explain the flail? Somehow slinging around a ball of spikes on a chain in the middle of a battle always seemed kind of insane to me. In fact, there's a ton of different medieval weaponry you see in video games and stuff - what advantages would a sword have over, say, an axe, a flail, or a warhammer? Is the wide variety of usage of medieval weapons in video games under-exaggerated or over-exaggerated?
