This is a collection of relevant posts which can be considered part of the Melee Academy series, even if it didn’t appear under that title. These will include discussions of tactics and skills for combat in GURPS.
Right now I’ve got material from Gaming Ballistic, Dungeon Fantastic. RPG Snob, No School Grognard, and Orbs and Balrogs. I’m happy to add any relevant material as long as it gives tactical and skills related advice for combat in GURPS!
Watch this page for new stuff that helps get people’s arms wrapped around fightin’ in GURPS, and if you see something on another page that belongs here, let me know and I’ll add it!
