Weapons and Tactics of the Cohoris

Simultaneously viewed as both over- and under-rated by many critics, Weapons and Tactics of the Cohoris is a vast, three-volume, 1,400 page work describing the various methods of warfare employed by the peaceful Cohoris people.

One of the major problems of the work is that, more often than not, "tactics" refers to basket-weaving, and the "weapons" involved are not-so-subtle double entendres, as is common in many of Lord Kinlo's works. Regardless, its influence on the nature of warfare cannot be underestimated. One need only look at the use of basket-throwing in the training of the War Men prior to the coming of the Wizbits and at the dominance of battlestaff-related poses in military strategy to see how large a role these weighty tomes have played.
