See that happy face? Matthew absolutely loves spadroons. Admittedly he loves a lot of swords but spadroons are definitely the one he likes most; they make him feel all warm and tingly inside. He’s going to be teaching his titled “Carlsberg don’t make swords, but if they did they’d probably be Spadroons” and telling you about why they’re the best weapon ever that can be used to solve all of the world’s problems if you’d just listen to what he has to say dammit.

Colin is grumpy when he thinks about spadroons. He doesn’t like them. He’s wrong, but we’re going to humour him. He uses a weird curved thing he calls a sabre. Filthy. He’s going to be teaching his lesson “Carlsberg make shit beer, so if they did make swords, they’d probably make spadroons.” and will be convincing you that you should abandon your silly half-but-not-quite-broadsword-smallsword-thingy and use a proper sword to do a proper job.
