Yeah that's where I was thinking as well.

Is the thigh bone a one-handed or two-handed weapon?

Since this is Chiefsplanet I'm going to have to assume one-handed.

Damn right!

**Rain Man** · 07-20-2018, 04:18 PM

It appears that one hand is sufficient.

I wonder if the proper strategy would be to curl up, or to swing wildly with the cutlass. But I presume that you stand a better chance of losing the cutlass if you're swinging it blindly.

There’s no way. A full minute getting his head smashed in. Even if he’s not dead yet he certainly won’t be fighting back. That bag factor in s close range fight makes this completely unwinnable for Colt.

I've never been hit with a police baton (not yet, anyway), so I don't know how incapacitating they are. They seem rather small, but clearly they must be effective as weapons. However, they seem more of a bludgeon-type weapon to me if you want to really take someone out, as opposed to striking someone with them, and I'm not sure kysirsoze can bludgeon if colt459 has a pirate cutlass.

But then again, what do I know? Maybe one of the Raiders fans who regularly gets hit with batons can weigh in.

I'm almost disappointed at how easy this one is. No contest at all.

It's in your power to make it more sporting. Maybe you can wait 58 seconds or something.

kysirsoze opts to not entertain the crowd and presses his attack immediately, which earns him a Round 2 win but costs him some advertising sponsors.
