** DISMOUNTER! : These weapons are capable of dismounting a rider on a score =equal= to or +greater+ than the "to hit" score.

The English bill hook was almost exactly the same as the French guisarme, but its concaveD (hook) edge was the sharp one, <D><?>
and rather than a straight back spike it typically had an L-shaped tine projecting forward.
This arrangement was slightly more effective than the European [guisarme].
