Let me dispense with my bias up front: I think maces are *so* cool. Those beautiful skull-crunching flanges, that sleek round shaft, that brushed nickel color ... I love a good mace. Plus, there isn't much cooler than a knight in full armor, letting (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

Oh yeah-- I think I'd go for the 1st one, though admittedly I kinda flip-flopped between them in the last game, depending on whether or not the troop was suffering from a weakness or a strength.
