Fascinating. I remember when playing a fantasy RPGs in the 1980 the morning star as it was called there was very rarely used as because while it packed quite a punch [which may have been inaccurate] the chance of a fumble i.e. something going possibly badly wrong when using it was as high as 25%. So sounds like the game probably had more accuracy than many museums and history books of the time.

Hmm, I guess I'll have to rewrite a few things then. I really should have stuck to the Hellenistic period.

I knew you had your Cleopatra TL a while back but are you working on another TL in the Medieval period?

I'm not sure yet. From some sides, I'm being encouraged to look for a publisher of sorts. It really depends on how that goes.
