It does, but not spears. Also, many of them are things like chainsaws and cattle prods, which are out of place in a historical game.

Granted, but what about people who are throwing things at
them while they're trying to get up face to face? Boarding actions traditionally involve a certain amount of hurling edged and/or pointy things in the course of trying to get aboard or keep someone from doing so.
EDIT: Also, using GURPS would mean having to round up 3e players and/or trying to adapt G:IN to 4e, and I remember the
last time we tried to do that on the boards here.

So far I haven't got any of those. :( Someone expressed mild interest in the Play by Post thread lower down, but nothing since then.
