Don't tell me you never dreamed of wielding a sword as a kid, at least I did.

A friend of mine had a Rapier in his house (just don't ask why), damn thing was old and rusty and wouldn't even be able to cut butter but we loved it. God, I spent many days playing with that thing. I still regret to this day I never offered to buy it when he decided to donate it to a second hand store....What I wouldn't give to own that thing now.

A Human sized target is easier to hit since it is larger. Besides that, it doesn't matter where you hit it, it will be going down, at "worst" to get cover.
That being said, targets usually don't move, humans do. It depends on the situation I guess.

I always was doing better at humans than at targets. We played around with our self made bows a lot when I was younger and I remember that I hit my friends much more often than a target.

It wasn't so much it was that the target being bigger. It's more that people are very natural  to try and hit the chest and head with bows/guns/etc.

Yeah, we as humans make some amazingly effective killing machines.
Humans are extremely complicated creatures. Death uncomplicates them to a frightening degree...

Yep. The Dutch Marine brigade that was trained in the USA to fight the Japs. Then suddenly the war ended (fucking nukes) and it was used to fight the Indonesian Nationalists.

Say that to bataan death march, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Cape Glouscester, and Okinawa.

I rather to fight in Africa than hell in Pacific though.

Picketts Mill coming up!
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.
