I happened to blunder across this.. by word of explanation, I wrote part (the weapons encyclopedia) of a new book which just came out this weekend for Jakes ARMA-approved role playing game, "The Riddle of Steel". Jake sold his game to a gaming company in New York this summer when he joined Army, while the book was still in development.
I was reading through some online discussions about the new book when I ran across the following:
"For those of you who are TROS fans, one of my fellows is Officer Candidate Norwood, who is also a member of the ARMA.
He is a real cool down to earth guy that destroys people in combatives class. He said he published TROS material and is a great resource for medieval combat.
He got a little trigger happy this weekend at his FLX however and blasted one of his platoon mates with about 6 blanks from a M240B "light" machine gun
If anyone knows him tell him what I wrote "

I believe combatives class is the new hand-to-hand training they are doing.
Sounds like the old Jake!
