I associate the phrase "cheese it" with Bender from Futurama because that's where I first heard someone actually use it with any sort of frequency after learning about the phrase elsewhere.

Which automatically made your thread more awesome since it seemed like your image was a fantasy version of a female Bender.

>A young merchant's son has decided to start his own business
>He ventures into the big city for the first time
>Naive and lost in equal measure, he finds himself in a dark alley
>He is almost instantly accosted by thugs, who want a piece of this "rich kid"
>Feeling he cannot betray the investment his father so painstakingly made in his business, the young merchant refuses to cooperate
>What happens next is foggy, but he loses conciousness

>He momentarily wakes up, his vision blurry
>He feels something soft wrapped around him
>A woman's voice shushes him and tells him to relax
>It smells nice
>He loses conciousness once more

>He wakes up in a cozy little residence
>He's still feeling woozy and feels a sharp sting in his thigh
>Upon removing his blanket, he discovers a wound on his inner thigh that has been treated and bandaged
>"Oh, you're awake!"
>The owner of the residence appears to be a female town guard, judging by her clothing
>She checks to see if the young merchant is feeling well
>She then gently scolds him for being in such a nasty part of town all alone
>He apologizes, explaining that he's new in town and doesn't know anything about it yet
>She strokes his hair and tells him that he's willing to show him around town when his wound has healed up nicely

>When that day finally comes, she spends the entire trip tightly squeezing the merchant's hand
>The excited merchants face grows flustered and his breathing becomes deepend and more frequent
>His eyes dart back and forth in sheer panic
>"What's wrong cherryboy? Never held hands with a woman before?"
>She flashes him a wicked smile
>He knows he's going to get loved tenderly

I know right. Realistically, the town guard would be armed with spears and clubs and clad in clothe armour. Mostly because they'd be expected to equip themselves in the first place. After all most of their duties are composed of maintaining law within the town and acting as the fire brigade. Should the town come under attack, proper soldiers and men-at-arms would be doing most of the fighting.

>>48033899
both of which are meme options. You didn't get this idea that axes were "intermediate" weapons from Skyrim, did you?
if you had any understanding of history at all, you'd understand that hyper-specialized, or rather, hyper-uniform, armies like those of Alexander with the sarissa and no archers, or the pure pikemen armies of the Swiss merc companies, were how battles were won.
There is no room for specialty troops. Just look at the Rodeleros of Spain.

In keeping with weapons, there was no reason to carry an axe except as a tool rather than a weapon. You can't stab with an axe, and you can't cut through maille, so what exactly do you intend to do against maille with an axe?

The best part of this conversation? None of what we're talking about is even a "primary" weapon, to use your video game terms. Use a spear nigger. The Greeks, Roman, Normans, Franks, Swiss, Germans, and so on and so forth were all the most successful when using spears.

Well, you could try being a guard at one of them fancy banks or the palace of your country's head of state/government. That involves a lot of standing still near a gate.

Alternatively border patrol.

Perhaps it's the other way 'round and she won't wear any armor on the places where she's been hit. The chance of being hit twice in the same spot is really low, anyway, so armoring those bits shouldn't be necessary, right?

>>48044652
This makes me wonder whether it'd be smart to stab her in the vagina or not. On the one hand it exposes her vagina. On the other hand, do we want to see a literal axe wound on her figurative axe wound?

>>48014749
With skintight armor and a floating belt that serves no purpose, she might as well keep her shield and fight naked.

>>48044706
Maybe we'd just scratch it a little and get her to wear a transparent loincloth?

There were many cultures that made use of axes specifically designed to be weapons, I really don't know where you are getting your info from.

>>48036284
>if you had any understanding of history at all, you'd understand that hyper-specialized, or rather, hyper-uniform, armies like those of Alexander with the sarissa and no archers, or the pure pikemen armies of the Swiss merc companies, were how battles were won.
You better not be using one of the most successful conquerors of all time, with one of the most advanced organizations for the time he lived in, as some kind of good example of how warfare's been conducted throughout the millennia. For every Alexander (or Philip II since he was the one who actually created the organization Alexander used), every Marian legion, every Gustavus Adolphus, there's been a shitload of comparatively poorly organized, equipped, trained, and specialized militaries (almost all of them, in fact).

Axe agaisnt maile breaks bones. You can test that in your own backyard. Axe combines cutting power and blunt damage, making it decent agaisnt both leather and maile. By the way, spelling maile? That's stupid. Mail. It is a mail. 'Chain mail' is redudant, yes, but spelling maile is just as retarded, like writing magik. or Kyng. Just because ye olde english soundth betterth doesn't maketh properth for chanspeak.

And since i am in the business of educating your ass...Hyperuniform armies aren't how battles are won. In some conditions they work, in some they don't. All long pike formation is super vulnerable agaisnt ranged weapons, be it crossbow, longbow, musket or artillery, due to the way they have to move together in uniform march making them slower, and longpike isn't a great shield versus a musket bullet or cannonball. The roman legion worked well agaisnt the roman adversaries until it didn't. The swiss pikes mercs were used in combination with other mercs or levies for a more rounded force. You cannot really think just swiss pikes would be good with no cavalry versus an army that has both pikes and cavalry, right? Let alone an army with Pikes, longsword, cavalry and muskets.

For one that talk about 'meme' opnions and tell people to have an understandment of history, you make a fool of yourself. I'd even say you have no formal history study, but, being on the academia myself, I know many historians that know nothing of a topic and deem themselves specialists. Let me tell your bitch ass something; You know nothing.

I'm not one to be all "waah historical inaccuracy in a fantasy setting!" but there never really were any "town guards" in the dark ages. Crimes were investigated privately and murder was responded to with blood feuds (or if you were an outsider committing crimes, lynch mobs). That's way too cool to just be left for Fantasy Cops(TM)

That's what my character in my last game was.
She was nobility and saw an arranged marriage down the tube and fucked off to the neighboring country to fight evil because she was a bit of a dreamer for heroics.
Her retainer searched for her for a year and finally found her and they stopped some possibly bad shit from happening.
She eventually decided to return home but on the way back said retainer proposed to her.
she refused initially but the epilogue had them growing closer

Yes, but we don't know how it was made. We can assume it worked to a degree, but we can't assume we know anything about how well it worked, or against what.

His bigger sword that's cut off in the top panel also looks like it has the same general shape only scaled up even further.

And yeah it's basically a fuckhuge Kriegsmesser/Groseemesser.

Clearly though for many of the town guards depicted in this thread human physiology and skin function quite differently than what you are used to.

We can theorize that having more weight directly behind the cutting edge is necessary for an edged weapon to deal significant damage to many of these women. Otherwise without sufficient momentum to carry it through it just bounces off.

There were plenty reasons to carry an axe.

It takes less steel than a sword, and there's no point in having a mace when the other guy you're hitting doesn't have enough steel for a sword either, much less for armor.

Axes are not good weapons.
