Historical Data for Bi??

[SMZ]

CA specifically said they were not going to have any effective combat ability whatsoever... so that nerfs your entire argument from the get go. Hence my befudlement at your claim that the unit is not historical.

If I got put on the front lines of Iraq today would I bring whatever weapon I could get my hands on? Yes I would. Would I be any good with it? No, but it sure would make me feel better. Basically I don't see why a source is required. It's common sense as I said. I'm almost positive I could find one - but I'm too lazy to look. I know for a fact that clergy of the early middle ages carried weapons - I don't think it's much of a leap to believe that those in this period did also.

No combat abilities? Any man will fight back when he's attacked.

EDIT: Regardless, enough has been said on this subject. I've stated the logic several times and it has been ignored. Repeating it would merely be foolishness on my part.
