Wrath Strike


Explanation:
Ни в коем случае не оспариваю вариант, предложенный коллегой из США. Просто хочу заметить, что в англоязычной литературе ссылок на wrathful hew очень мало. Чаще всего параллельно термину Zornhau дается пишут Wrath Strike в контексте описания средневековой техники длинного меча.
