Thrown:

• This weapon can also be wielded as a Melee Weapon. When doing so it loses all qualities except Light and Thrown.

• A fighter will carry a finite number of Thrown weapons. These must be tracked individually and retrieved before they can be used again.

Light:

• This weapon can be equipped very quickly. It can be equipped as part of another manouevre during the turn, or by spending a Story Point outside of the turn.

• This weapon can be used to make an off-hand attack as part of an Attack action. If the other weapon is also a Light weapon then this attack adds +d, otherwise both attacks add +d.

• This weapon is less ideal for defending against attacks. Decrease the difficulty of any melee attacks targeting the equipped model by -d, to a minimum of dd.

Vicious-1:

• This weapon adds +10 to any Critical Hits it inflicts.

Slashing:

• This weapon can spend an additional a when it scores a Critical Hit to score a Slashing Critical Hit instead.

Throwing Axes in Military Units

If a Military Unit's only melee weapon is a throwing axe it is considered to be unarmed, subtracting -d from its Attacks. However, they add +t to attacks against the Flank or Rear of an enemy unit.
