But Lord Fell's point is that V's blows system, and in particular the way it fails to treat weapon weight properly, is fundamentally broken with respect to any sort of "fantasy realism".
Lord Fell: you are correct. Yes, V combat is broken. We all know this, and have done for decades. This is why Leon re-wrote combat entirely when he wrote O, and why "O-combat" is used in many variants, and is cited a lot as a "more realistic" combat model. This is all good - but there are no plans to introduce it to V, or otherwise move V combat in that direction. I'd love to bring it in, but then V wouldn't be V, it would be more like O ...
This is why people's advice is to play variants if you want more realistic combat, ok? No need to go round the houses again.
