5'3" with a crossbow.

Bros, while we rightfully voice our discontent with the most glaring WH reversals, let's not forget to shed light on the absurdity of the longhouse lass wielding the crossbow on the cover art of the game.

I feel like this isn't getting it's due criticism.

"When a battle was about to begin, the drivers, at a signal from the captain, quickly encircle and form an enclosure with their vehicles. Then their enemies, squeezed between the wagons and cut off from their comrades, fell victim either to the swords of the foot troops or the missiles of the men and women who attacked them from above from the wagons. "
From the Historia Bohemia. Direct quote
I've said this multiple times.
You even lied and claimed it said ramparts.
Nope, they were in the wagons.
Part of the crossbow teams.

Hussites encircled their wagons in fort-like formations that served as ad-hoc ramparts for those atop them.

In any case, I've already answered that quote by simply informing you that it does not MENTION CROSSBOWS. You have nothing but ad-hom now, this is very plain.

Here it is, it's waiting for you ----> L

[nope]

Haven't the slightest notion who you anime fans are talking about, but since you switched gears into talking about your fellow banned troll buddy, I'm going to to take it you are done and have nothing but that L you worked for. You started quote replying me about a convo I had with someone else, then lied and went hysterical. You claim to be an historian. I wish you all the luck in the world with that, as you will definitely need it! God bless.

I have to say that it's really hard to find someone this disingenuous like you even in this forum. No wonder no other haters joined you here becuase it's beneath even them. Facts don't care about your feelings and your crippled world view. You already took the L, no need to keep making clown of yourself, snowflake.

You already threw your fit in the last post. I'm sorry to see you feel the need for another, but I understand it perfectly.

I notice you don't return to the subject though...

A woman could easily operate a Cranequin or goatsfoot crossbow of 1000lbs in draw or higher, it's really not a matter of strength as they operate through mechanical advantage lol.

Suuuure, you just have the exact same linguistic style, call history you don't like "blog posts", started posting on this board the exact same day the "other guy" stopped posting, have the same weird obsessive hatred of anime, the same refusal to accept you are wrong, the same insistence on primary sources...without knowing what primary sources ARE, no understanding of history just like him, but just 100% sure you know better than historians, just like him. Insist everyone but you is committing logical fallacies, while committing logical fallacies in almost every post.
Yeah, you are Mr. Nobody.

People always leave out some of my favorites. Sikelgaeta and Aethelflaed and Cartimandua. I don't know why Boudicca gets all the love, she was an abject failure. Where Aethelflaed held off multiple sieges, and Cartimandua kept northern England under Roman control like a badass.

A woman was physically capable of becoming the Pope in terms of upper body strength. They aren't many sources that tell us they did though. This is beside the point.

[paulbierley]

Women are not as physically strong as men but that doesn't mean they cant pick up a weapon and fight.

I don't know about easily, have you ever used a cranequin? NOBODY can use them easily. Those things suck. Not a lot of physical strength reqired, but god are they cumbersome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjYQEyC4m10&t=34s Tod still has hair!
But they could definitely do it. Or a windlass.

You continue to quote reply me. Just hoping we forget where you took a massive L when trying to snipe at me. You lied, went hysterical, and ultimately could not find a single source for anything. Stepped on your own rake, buddy. Just take the L and stop bothering normal people. Now it's tin-foil hat conspiracies. Greasy stuff.

I mean easily as in, if you spent a little time showing an unskilled person how to use a medieval crossbow, I'm confident they could then go on to be a relatively dangerous opponent, compared to the training of a longbow, or any melee weapon.
Same goes for the H A N D G O N N E.
