	Posted by request, changes to the equipment rules, particularly weapons
and movement in armor, for the CMU Imperial Civil War campaign.  Note
that armor prices, while not realistic in terms of time to create, are
set more for game balance than anything else.


CHANGES TO EQUIPMENT

1:  Do Not Exist.  There is no full or field plate armor.  There is no
khopesh sword, mancatcher, or hand crossbow.  Arquebuses have not been
invented.  There are no "sheaf arrows".

2:  Changes To Weapon Chart.
