Swapping weapons while in melee

Hey gang,

Quick question regarding gear in close combat. Can you fight with two hand weapons one round and then switch to a two-handed weapon for the next round of the same melee?

Can you fight with, say... a sword and a shield one round and then switch to two swords for the next?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/rulings/advice/etc. =)

Download the Official Mordheim Errata/FAQ from the GW Website.

That question is answered in there, but for a quick answer no you may not switch weapons unless using pistols or a lance which have special rules.

Cool! Thanks, Cat. That FAQ actually cleared up a couple other questions our gaming group has been wrestling with.

Can't believe I haven't read through it before.

Yes, that is correct. Don't worry it is easy to miss stuff in Mordheim.

Unfortunately, you must go through 2 or more publications to get things right but even with that said it is a wonderful game.
