the polearm quiz

[nnms]

14.

I remember really geeking out on different pole-arms as an early teen.

 

[coyote6]

16 of 22. Voulge vs guisarme is the one I kept guessing on.

 

[pemerton]

19 out of 22 - I took the bill hook for a couteaux de breche, mucked up the pole axes and missed the "awl" on the pikes.

Far too many rereadings of Appendix Q (?) back in the day!

 

[Scott DeWar]

i got 10 right!

 

[The Shaman]

Eighteen correct.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

11 of 22. I must turn in my grognard card.

 

[Korgoth]

17 of 22. That's with one kinda foolish smurf-up.

And I got the spetum backwards with the other one. Duh.

Polearms were never my subject. But I did well enough to be accused of cheating!

 

[NiTessine]

18 out of 22. I made the spetum/partisan mistake as well, and mistook the awl pike for a regular pike, and made a stupid mistake with the glaive-fork.

That spetum/partisan thing is amusing, though, since it seems to be very common, but you need to possess some rather arcane knowledge to even be capable of making it.

Also, the guisarme/voulge/glaive family of polearms can be identified by logical deduction.

 

[Diamond Cross]

19 for me. I am a god.

Of some sort anyhoo.

 

[Quantarum]

12, though a swashbuckler with a halberd would be a sight. -Q.
