44. "RE: Not-in-the-Face"
In response to message #43
 
   Back in the day, when Games Workshop was first trying its hand at the RPG thing, before the wargaming took all of their time, they published a module where the PCs could find a detailed book of polearms, explaining in fine detail the history and detail of the various types and explaining the difference between a glaive, a guisarme, a glaive-guisarme, a Lucerne hammer, and so forth. None of which really meant anything in Warhammer Fantasy RPG, since all polearms do the same amount of damage.

Given that, at about the same time, TSR had released Unearthed Arcana, which included a rather detailed appendix entitled "The Anatomy of the Polearm," I can't help but think this was a good-humored dig at the boys in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, by their buddies in Nottingham.
