Question: Red, Double Green, or Two?

BOW wrote:3.7.2. Combatants attacking an opponent from behind with a two-handed strike from a Class 2 or 3 Weapon MUST shout “TWO”. This informs the opponent that the attack was a two-handed strike, and caused two points of Injury. If “TWO” is not called, the opponent should consider a successful strike to cause a single hit of Injury.


So how many out there follow this rule? And how many use what they say regardless of the target's direction?

From what I understand, we can't legally put the color system in our rules set. But it's what people have been fighting with for decades.

Its so much more simple just to yell, Double Green, or Red! I think the reason it says TWO in the Belegarth Book of war is that the author didn't want it to sound like the Dagohir BOW :armor5:
