Yes, this is what I am looking for. What I have in mind at this stage is to continue this by expanding each of the sixteen points by four, and maybe then again, each of those. Your insights are potentially very valuable in that project, especially in reminding me of things that should appear at some level. This is, after all, a Beginning. It is very generic- no mention yet of different weapons, various shields, etc. I have a slightly expanded version of this that I printed a copy of and took with me to my local, where I intended to give it to a 12 year old kid who is getting interested in boffer play. Three of my mundane friends read that version, each of them said that it gave them a clearer idea of what swordplay was like than they had had before. More importantly, August read it, and when I asked him if he thought it would be useful to him he gave a very enthusiastic yes. I will post the current version later today.
