awesome, but how are you holding the third weapon? your teeth? also:

Is this misleading enough to make a footnote worthwhile?
We could clarify this as per the Mongoose editions of the Kai books: "You
may only use one Weapon at a time in combat."

Perhaps this should be a footnote in all of the Lone Wolf and Grey
Star gamebooks.

The new Mongoose Publishing editions of the gamebooks clarify that

Added! I am generating the new content now and am upload the relevant updated pages as we speak. (These days I only tend to upload the changed pages rather than the whole book upload, so it's much faster, though it does mean a bit of faffing about.) :-)

OK, agreed, "in the west".

Fixed as: "far to the west" -> "...in the far west..." which is a more correct 
use of the British idiom.

I see what you mean. We can reverse this change. Sorry, Simon.

I didn't make the change as I was awaiting further input! :-) Rejected.

Assume everything else is fixed/rejected as per the decision presented.
