The Huns were not part of the High or Late Middle Ages, which is commonly thought of as being "medieval". They weren't even part of the Early Middle Ages (still thought by some as the Dark Ages). They were part of the late period of antiquity that saw the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.

for sea the greek fire,


Greek fire was cool indeed.

Nice. Though as for me I have a slight preference towards more advanced polearms, such as the halberd.


Perhaps I just don't see the point of adding an edge to a such a long and unwieldy weapon. Plus with my Greek roots, a Hoplite's spear is simply mandatory.

Yeah, what a waste of time that was losing against France.


Lol. It was never really viable. Our bases in Brittanny were far too small to sustain a large army.

At least England made up for its losses through exploration and colonial pursuits a century later.


True, but it swings round. Napoleon powned everyone, including us onmany occassions. We are just lucky he was dumb enough to pursue Zhukhov into a Russian Winter. But I digress. Longbows pown.

I know, however Sloth made up some story to try and justify his mistake. And I just felt like bringing it to everyone's attention while simultaneously mocking him 'cause he's an a*s who can't just own up and say, "Sorry, I was wrong".

BTW, would anyone care to explain why medieval is so horribly misspelled in the name of the thread? And why the grammar is so horrible?

Ah.. Yes, a halberd is unwieldy to a beginner, but with skill it is effective.

True, but it swings round. Napoleon powned everyone, including us onmany occassions. We are just lucky he was dumb enough to pursue Zhukhov into a Russian Winter. But I digress. Longbows pown.


Yes, his ambitions got the better of him. In Russia... Er, I forgot the rest. Good thing the British recovered and the Victorian Age followed. Though I have to say its luck ran out a century later. By luck, I mean its position as the dominant world power.

Lol. It was never really viable. Our bases in Brittanny were far too small to sustain a large army.


Yeah, it slipped away gradually, until it was too late. The chances of retaining French territory that is.

Lol.

I like the sword of mars and the blunderbuss


What's the sword of Mars exactly? Oh, and the blunderbuss isn't medieval. What the heck?

That's a nice story. Too bad it's called a Morningstar.


Or Morning star.

Spelling. Many people don't spell well for some reason. I also note that almost all of the regulars have excellent grammar.

Nice stroy. Really, I did like it but I'm teasing you still.

Why......


Alright, if the weapon is "medieval" it should of been used in Europe from the 5th through the 15th centuy. No weapons after that or before that. Adding non-European weapons wouldn't be too good of an idea, as the Middle (medieval) Ages is a period of European history.
