[DTF]

Heya,

ive been fiddling about with DF for a while now (31.12).
One thing still buggers me though:

My Military Dwarfs dont follow the uniform/equipment rules I have set up for them.

One particular Uniform consists of:  (steel)
breastplate, 2x mailshirts, greaves, helm, gauntlets, shield, axe.

Although I can provide enough armor for all my dwarfs, some of them tend to pick up like 3 mailshirts while others arrive at the battlefield with a helm, gauntlets, a crossbow AND an axe - ensuing some short term fun in the actual fight.

Am I mistaken that you cant order them to pick up exactly 2 mailshirts by adding it twice in the uniform screen or do they take whatever they please anyway?
Its a pain to see a few running around with the proper set and another few without any decent armor.
I ve already set up a stockpile right beside their barracks - didnt really help.


Another question:
Is it recommended to let them wear their regular clothing beneath their armor?
As far as I was able to understand the wiki Armor arcticle there still might be some "space" for some leather stuff they usually wear.
