This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What version of Harnmaster has the most crunchy combat wholesomeness?

Looking at this summary, it appears that Harnmaster Gold is more full of detailed/realistic combat grit than either the first or second editions, but that source doesn't say much about the third edition other than it's by the publisher of the 2nd edition rather than the original author, and that the second edition tried to simplify things, so I'm guessing Gold is the most crunchy, but I'm wondering if 3rd edition offers any crunch that Gold doesn't and that a detailed combat maniac might miss?

No, it does not. Hârnmaster 3rd is very similar to Hârnmaster Core (or 2nd), in fact I don't know if there are any mechanical differences between HM3 and HMC.

Hârnmaster Gold is like an alternate evolutionary line. If Hârnmaster Core (and 3rd) was a simplification of Hârnmaster 1st, Hârnmaster Gold was a reaction to that, as if the author had thought "Simplify rules? Forget it!!" To sum up:

Simpler versions of Hârnmaster: Core and 3rd

More complex versions of Hârnmaster: 1st and Gold
