But ‘chopping the heads off horses sounds like classic soldier-BS. It starts with Rosinante getting a nasty neck wound, and by the time the soldier is telling it for the fourteenth time with a glass of Tequila, it’s heads off and still running.

I wouldn’t imagine it’s easy to decapitate a standing horse with a single blow from what is after all a rudimentary bladed weapon. Rather like those reconstructed flint knives that are sharp enough to flense (DYSWIDT? Sharp/flense? Never mind) a roe deer. Eventually. After much hacking.

And yeah, the boar’s tusks were cut into lamellae, but with only two tusks per boar it’s still a lot of pork chops.

Obvious contrarian and passive aggressive old prat, who is taken far too seriously by some and not seriously enough by others.
