Or we can adapt the rules to make it interesting. BTW, longbow arrows
can pierce 1/4" thick steel fairly easily. Find an old car, say a '78
buick, and rap your knuckles against the side. Easily pierced at 100
yards. An arrow has an amazing amount of force and a much sharper point
than almost any bullet. I don't remember whether AD&D reflects it or not,
but a longbow with the right arrowheads makes full plate almost useless.
Actually, makes it worse for the armored guy. There is no way to get full
plate off in time to provide medical aid. The Welsh were feared for a
reason. That same plate armor will deflect a .38 in most real combat
situations. However, don't try that at home.

I don't think that some of us old-fogies can dedicate that much time.
I'm thinking start at around 10:30, finish as dinner time approaches.

Glad to hear it.
