For those who just want simulation even it isnt bad if the DM is really good at his job.(and some DMs might be awesome at providing details <and most weren't /> but since I didn't get to chose? or feellike I chose, Feh ... ithose details are just watching a dms movie controlled by dice). Some elements were just done wrong. .. weapon length  IRL Weapon reach induces a dance of either weapon going in and out of best positionfor its reach which is almost a wash over the course of a whole minute... ie the longer weapon gets first opportunity advantaged position (unless suprised)  but loses as soonas it is capitalized on without success at which time advantage toggles to the shorterreach weapon... this is due to fighting style involved in how the weapon is usednot just the reach of the weapons.Fighting style changes enough by weapon type in fact that OD&D has all weapons functionally equaland 4e if you have the right fighting style for them are similarly equal. Dirks and Zwiehanders forexample.... are functionaly equal but they get that way in very distinct fashions. -> In OD&D descriptions and in 4e cinematic maneuvers(powers) feats and class features.</blockquote>
