Yeah boars get +2str the turn they are charging in warhammer atm, also I don't know that flail would do the same thing as two handed sword, in warhammer the flail only gives you the first round of combat +2 str and after that it counts as a regular hand weapon, and a two handed sword makes you always strike last(initiatif zero) and always gives you +2 str.

i agree WHF

also Polearms are only spose to give +1 in the charge

but who knows how "correct" the dark omen rules are

wasnt there something about Armor and Strength also? they limited eachother or something

I think the flail is meant to only give +2 on the charge.  Unfortunatly it doesn't the +2 seems to be perminant.

Rerember we could only test strenght values, what these weapons do to Init,w/s,armour, we cant be sure.

Strength V Armour, what is meant to happen (I think) is every point of strenght above 3 counts as -1 armour. Again this is something we can't really test, given the dice rolling nature of DO we'd have to organise a huge test sample, it's just not feasible.

What I would assume polearm to do would be give +1 str, -1 init.  If it just give +1str it be a pointless addition.
2h Sword +2str, 1 Init during H2H.

The 2h sword is probobly the most interesting weapon for mods it allows units a high init for charging on the battles field, whilst resticting the unit in H2H.

Hmm i'll and the boars (and horses i suppose) to the list of things to test.

Does "N" mean "never"? 
If so, it means that in DO D6 roll of 1 is not auto fail and roll of 6 - auto success

   10  2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 4
   

The boost button gives +1 strength

Two Handed Sword +2
Charging into the front: +1 Strength
Charging in the rear gives +2 Strength


After my S vs T tests I can confirm facts listed above tested by Darkmancer except that charging in the rear gives +2 Str. In my test Charge gave +1 Str from any possible flank. 

Just small remarks:
Charge (at any side) gives +1 Str for the first round only
The boost button gives +1 Str for 1-2 rounds (depends when you finish boosting unit)
Great swords give +2 Str bonus permanently
All above Str bonuses stack (cumulative)

P.S.
Other Str bonuses like from mount etc., I will test later after have firm confirmation of combat round duration
