That very good point about it needing to cover missile attacks as well. Thinking about this maybe a way to do this si add some more mods in the expanded posture rules in MA, to show that weapon with certain reaches are better able to hit legs on a standing target than others. (they seem to be more based aounr unarmed attacks combining with postures and locations) Quote:

Epee's an interesting one because it's the only one that allows leg hits to count. Long ago I did foil (and a bit of sabre), and you were able to have as you say you leg extended quite far out relative to your torso, and it didn't matter. I have little experience of Epee I wonder is there is much difference in the general fighting posture Quote:
Yep, which I guess is what we're trying to define in GURPS terms, so maybe a bonus to defence or retreat. Quote:
So a ST/HP10 chap swinging a Sw+1 broadsword at another ST/HP10 chap's unarmoured leg, even if injury he can inflict is capped at 6hp, he will cripple the leg two thirds of the time However this is going to depend on how much you and I see Imp and Cut attacks in our melee combat!
