Covering the Paleolithic to the Age of Sail, GURPS Low-Tech is your guide to TL0-4 equipment for historical adventurers, modern survivalists, post-apocalypse survivors, and time travelers. It surveys current historical and archaeological research to present accurate gear, including: • Weapons. Stone axes, steel blades, muskets, and heavy weapons (from catapults to cannon) to grant a fighting edge whether you face bears, phalanxes, or high-seas pirates. • Armor. Pick coverage, quality, and materials (even exotica like jade!) to suit your budget, and then calculate protection, weight, impact on stealth, and more. • Transportation. Travel aids such as skis and floats; riding gear for horses, camels, and elephants; and vehicles ranging from oxcarts and rafts to war wagons and low-tech submarines. • Survival Gear. Simple tools and local materials to let you find your way, stay warm and dry, and feed yourself in the wilderness. • Tools. Everything you need to gather basic resources, craft finished goods, work in the literate professions, spy, or thieve. • Medicine. Treat illness and injury with herbs, acupuncture, and surgery. GURPS Low-Tech requires the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition. The information on real-world equipment is useful for any campaign set prior to 1730, as well as historical fantasy. By William H.

Oakeshott was the foremost authority on the subject, and this work formed the capstone of his career. Anyone with a serious interest in European swords should own this book. Records of the Medieval Sword. Ewart Oakeshott. Forty years of intensive research into the specialised subject of the straight two- edged knightly sword of the European middle ages are contained in this classic study. Spanning the period from the great migrations to the Renaissance, Ewart Oakeshott emphasises the original purpose of the sword as an intensely intimate accessory of great significance and mystique. There are over photographs and drawings, each fully annotated and described in detail, supported by a long introductory chapter with diagrams of the typological framework first presented in The Archaeology of Weapons and further elaborated in The Sword in the Age of Chivalry. There are appendices on inlaid blade inscriptions, scientific dating, the swordsmith's art, and a sword of Edward Records of the Medieval Sword.

  • Swordsmanship and Sabre in Fribourg

    Swordsmanship and Sabre in Fribourg

    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Hands-on section, articles 103 Hands-on section, articles Sweat and Blood: Swordsmanship and sabre in Fribourg Mathijs Roelofsen, PhD Student, University of Bern [email protected], and Dimitri Zufferey, Independant Researcher, GAFSchola Fribourg, [email protected] Abstract – Following a long mercenary tradition, Switzerland had to build in the 19th century its own military tradition. In Cantons that have provided many officers and soldiers in the European Foreign Service, the French military influence remained strong. This article aims to analyze the development of sabre fencing in the canton of Fribourg (and its French influence) through the manuals of a former mercenary (Joseph Bonivini), a fencing master in the federal troops (Joseph Tinguely), and an officer who became later a gymnastics teacher (Léon Galley). These fencing manuals all address the recourse to fencing as physical training and gymnastic exercise, and not just as a combat system in a warlike context. Keywords – Sabre, Fribourg, Valais, Switzerland, fencing, contre-pointe, bayonet I. INTRODUCTION In military history, the Swiss are known for having offered military service as mercenaries over a long time period. In the 19th century, this system was however progressively abandoned, while the country was creating its own national army from the local militias. The history of 19th century martial practices in Switzerland did not yet get much attention from historians and other researchers. This short essay is thus a first attempt to set some elements about fencing in Switzerland at that time, focusing on some fencing masters from one Swiss Canton (Fribourg) through biographical elements and fencing manuals.
  • Rules and Options

    Rules and Options

    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

El presente artículo trata las espadas y sables utilizados en los primeros tiempos del Islam a partir de la co- lección del Topkapí Sarayi y de las fuentes escritas, iconográficas y arqueológicas. KEY WORDS - PALABRAS CLAVE Swords. Sabers. Islam. Topkapí Sarayi, Istambul. Espadas. Sables. Islam. Topkapí Sarayi. Estambul. SWORDS DURING THE EARLY ISLAMIC PERIOD The recent discovery in Spain of a ninth century sword represents a remarkable advance in our knowledge of early Islamic swords. This archaeological find is discussed in detail by Alberto Canto in this volume, the present article offers a discussion of early swords and sa- bers in general. Reference is also made to the so called saif badaw^ used in the investiture of ¿Abbasid caliphs under the Mamluks; and to the origins of the saber which represents an eastern influence on the Islamic world A sword is a weapon with a straight double-edged blade, generally pointed at its tip, and can be used for both cutting and thrusting; the hilt of a sword is generally symmetrical in form.

    Civilizations Collide - the Wars of the Aztecs, the Inca, the Maya, and the Conquistadores

    Civilizations Collide - The Wars of the Aztecs, the Inca, the Maya, and the Conquistadores A Supplement for Feudal Patrol™ By Mark A. Morin 1. Introduction 1.1. Overview of the Historical Period In Mesoamerica, a relatively few Spanish Conquistadores under Hernan Cortes (in alliance with other city states such as the Tlaxcalans of the Aztec-Chichimec Alliance, and others) managed to bring down the empire of the mighty Aztecs of the Triple Alliance. The Spanish subsequently did the same to the diminished Maya in Central America, though not without casualties and great difficulty. In the Andes, Francisco Pizarro and his Conquistadores similarly brought down the Incan Empire. Most of this supplement will focus on the Aztec conquest, but I include some information on the other New World empires as well. Most (if not all) of the terms used to describe the weapons, armor, geographic places, and culture of these New World empires definitely do not roll off the tongue, but I will attempt to help as much as possible. The Spanish certainly had many technological advantages over their New World opponents, such as gunpowder and crossbows; however, these were not the decisive advantages. The Conquistadores were mercenary veterans of years of warfare in Italy and elsewhere. Conquistadores were known for their excellent swordsmanship. Also, one must add that skill with blades (and armor) of Toledo steel to the shock and awe of the horse and war hounds when looking at how the Conquistadores brought down their foes. 1 For victory, the combat experience of the Conquistadores alone was necessary but not sufficient.

    Whittaker-Annotated Atlbib July 31 2014

    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version of August 2, 2014 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. I try in particular to note problems in some of the studies that are often cited by others with less atlatl knowledge, and correct some of the misinformation. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation, but at heart I am an old-fashioned paper-lover.
