ARN - Advantages

[Miriam Cook]

But I *like* lurking!! I'm learning from those that are
better than I am.
Oh, okay... I'll make an addition from the little I know.
(I've only fought in 2 tournies, a newbie list at Eldern
XX and Northkeep's Ensign)
I belive that fighting with odd size weapons can have
advantages, but also can have disadvantages.  For example,
with a longer blade the extra reach is there- that 3"
added to the end of a lunge may be the difference that
just gets the tip in (as I sit here doing the motions!).
But on the flip side, if the opponent does manage to get
inside and lock you up, it may be harder to get the blade
free to re-engage.  So in a way it evens out. This is just
a theory- at this point all other blades seem to have the
advantage over me.
