Cheers, but other than telling us that 30% of the people killed at Wisby had suffered lower leg wounds I'm not sure what that tells us about how easy it is to hit the leg in terms of GURPS -2 to hit location penalty?

If nothing else if the lower legs were unarmoured and other location were armoured than I'd expect to see those locations dis-proportionally represented in terms for wounds on dead people as opposed to hits on armoured locations.

Plus of course people left dead on the field is a sub category of wounded, and not injuries on the dead were inflicted in open combat
