Paul,
I think you miss one of the most important factors armour provides besides protection: morale. Armour provides confidence to the man who wears it, first by causing to stop sweating the "little things" that an unarmoured man must concern himself with, and providing a sense of confidence that he can take some risks that an unarmoured man cannot.
Consider, having no helmet would make you think twice about letting your head show in the front couple of ranks...
Have fun!
