Well, you don't want to rivet cops to vambraces or
rerebraces with articulation.  Not my favorite method anyway.

Oh, and Corun... I don't generally attach my cuisses to my
pauldrons because I can't fight with my thighs and shoulders
connected.  ;-)

Personally, I wear just plain elbow cops with wide straps
and a thick gambeson/elbow pad.  For knee cops, those should
definitely articulated onto cuisses (thigh protection) and
they won't slide anywhere.

Thigh armor isn't required by Society minimums but TRUST ME,
you don't want to fight without it.
