Weapon Types

Now what does your figure poke other figures with?
In this case size is just as important as what you do with it.
Size of Weapon Classification Zone of Control (ZOC)
Fore-arm sized or less
SW
 1/2 figure height
Fore-arm to Leg sized
LW
 figure height
Leg to figure height * 1.5
2HW
 1.5 * figure height
figure height * 1.5 or greater
S
 multiple * figure height
Most bases that figures are mounted on are the same width as the figures height (i.e. 25mm figure on 25x25mm base) and therefore represent the ZOC of a Small Weapon (SW).
A ZOC is the area around a figure it can reach with it's weapon. It's very important for determining who strikes first, etc.
