I wonder if it has the solution to my Short Sword vs Long Knife problem. <laugh>

Ordering right now, looking forward to the scaling rules.

EDIT: Look good to me on first glance! Haven't looked at anything else as I don't have time, but it looks like a great book!

Thanks!


EDIT x2: Wait. No rules for scaling shields?

At last! Great release.

And looking at pages 20-21, my little Norse Giant is starting to smile at GURPS.

Yeah, and I want her to be as cool as Kim Deal.

More seriously, enjoy the book. Let the nitpicking begin!

Great book! Doesn't have scaling for shields, but I guess I can just use the armor scaling rules for weight and the DB is easy to house rule.

You have no idea how difficult it was to fit four thousand years of military development/evolution into those first few pages.
