Awww come on.. Sword, shelds, Halbers, battleaxes, and daggers
brings the fight where it should be.. up close, and personal!

Two man enter, one man leave!

Besides, you'll have crossbows, longbows.. mabye with flaming arrows!
Mabye there will be primitive ancestors to guns, like blunderbuss's
or muskets! of course.. I thing tht launching a meteor swarm at someone
would be more fun than a chaingun, but to each their own.

Have a good one
