Yes, but we're using the QuikWars variant. Where you can't.

In brikwars you can attack with both one at a time in one turn.

Our city friend looks screwed. He might be able to crack a frying pan and the cup over the knight, but then again, the knight is armed.

I want to say that I think this is an amazing idea you had, I cannot wait to see all of it.

I like your thinking Ray that might work out and after it rots they can use the bone as a boomerang.

Isn't there some kind of bonus for weapons that can be used as a weapon OR a food? Like, You can eat it to regain HP, but its HP give amount reduces each turn/each time you hit someone until it gets rotten and removes your HP?

Chris:

Dual-weapons doesn't do much in QuikWars, other than giving the player an option of which one to hit with on a given turn. Since all weapons are treated the same in terms of damage, there's not a lot of point. Other than being silly....

...so I guess you do have a point!

Hey, the City prize wasn't all that bad for accesorizing: he can dual-wield the chicken leg and frying pan.

Geoffrey:

The weapon count really doesn't matter. In BrikWars *anything* can be a weapon, with a little imagination.

As to armor - we relaxed the rules so that some plausible accessories gave the armor bonus - for example a life vest would have the same +1 for chest armor as the knight's breastplate. We didn't go overboard, though - a chef's hat would still be just a hat, not armor.

Since the City Advent stuff doesn't have a lot in the way of armor/weapons, did you give any thought to how to balance that out against the Castle advent stuff?

Nick:

The first 17 rounds were played in one evening - it's not as if it made sense for them to come by, open one door, then go home until the next day...

The battle has yet to be concluded, though - I hope to get that photographed in the next week or so. (Certainly before the 18th!)

So, just out of curiosity, is this all pre-played or are they just going to wear the same clothes for a month?
