Anyone has hints? Anyone owns it or ever played using this optional rules?
I think it's a very interesting item, not only due to its obscurity- but because it covers an important aspect of AD&D- namely, combat.
I wonder how is it possible that no one ever mentioned it on Dragonsfoot (it seems so to me, i made a search and it returned no results)-
Someone must have played it somewhere in the past or read a copy!
Ok AD&D sages, i'm looking forward to hearing news from you
Never heard of it, and can't find any info on it. Only NobleKnight and a German website even list this supplement, and neither of them has any info on it.

This was a third-party product with, I'm guessing, a real small print run. Possibly like, xeroxed a few dozen copies and sold it out of the local game shop type of small print run.
These are the type of products that can be utterly amazing or utterly horrible, and positively littered the gaming scene in the late '70s and early '80s.
If anyone knows anything about it, I'd love to hear it.

A policeman knew my name
He said you can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"
The cover is a powder blue, and the wizard is doing a ronny dio like devil horns salute....
Hilarious...
I think over again my small adventures. My fears, those small ones that seemed so big, for all the vital things I had to get and to reach, and yet, there is only one great thing, the only thing, to live to see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world. - Old Inuit Song
“Superstitions are religious forms surviving the loss of ideas. Some truth no longer known or a truth which has changed its aspect is the origin and explanation of all. The name from the Latin, superstes, signfies that which survives, they are the dead remnants of old knowledge or opinion” - Eliphas Levi (138 The History of Magic).
“Let no one wake a man brusquely for it is a matter difficult of cure if the soul find not its way back to him”, the Upanishads of ancient India ( 58 Our Oriental Heritage, Durant).
"Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring" – Edward Gorey.

'To thee, thou wedding-guest!
He prayeth well who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best who loveth best,
All things both great and small:
For the dear God, who loveth us,
He made and loveth all' - Samuel Taylor Coleridge (VII Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner).
