A friend recently bought this book on a trip to the UK. Here is a list of the changes we could find from the Avalon Hill 'books.'

A rapier does 3D6+3 on an impale.
A naginata does not impale

The various sword descriptions are included: Sword, Bastard: A long, double-edged sword which can be wielded in both hands, or in one. Only strong characters can wield this weapon in one hand.
Sword, Broad: A short sword, designed to be used in one hand, double-edged and pointed. It can be used a cutting weapon or as a thrusting weapon, and is the normal equipment of professional soldiers and new adventurers.
Sword, Great: A very long and heavy sword, which requires great strength and dexterity for use. Such weapons can actually be as tall as a man.

The only change in the spells is that the spirit magic spell Silence adds 15 percentiles per point of spell to your Sneak skill, instead of 5 percentiles.
