^Comically, the above has no idea what he's talking about. Maces were at their most effective versus plate armor, because the entire force is carried right through, and often the armor itself cuts flesh, breaks bones, and crushes organs underneath.  Plate armor was for defense against sharp weapons.  If you were getting hit with bludgeoning weapons you wanted chain or leather, with as much padding as you could possibly get underneath.
