Yes, I can see how it might, but weapon speed would need a
lot of work to port over to
GURPS. As is, weapon speed would probably have caused people to pay
less attention.
If your weapon speed is 6, for the next five turns, you have nothing to do before you can strike again. Whereas under current
GURPS rules you could, on average, have made a defense on the turn you made your initial strike (attack) and made five further attacks and five further defenses during those five turns.
I know which condition I'd find more interesting and more liable to keep my attention on the game (It's the same condition for both, getting the opportunity to do something every one second turn.)
