However the enemy gets a free attack with either bonus damage or bonus DX. If you survive the attack, well, I guess he DIDN'T engage you after all!Rick, You too hun? I ran an optional rule like that for a year. If a figure chose to ignore engagement the figure(s) they ignored got an extra attack that round. I'm trying to remember when and why I stopped using it. I'm not sure, don't remember clearly. I think it was because it broke up the chess-like feel that melee has. David Michael Grouchy II
This may be belated on reply, but I think this is an acceptable idea.I would even go a bit further to apply it to riders on horseback who zip by a player's zone of control but are not stopped by it. Let the unmounted get a swing at the rider as he gallops by. Perhaps both can get a swing at minus DXs. If the rider is hurt, find out if he falls. If he fails his DX, roll again to see if he catches himself. Another failed roll and he falls off his horse next to the unmounted man, but the horse still gallops onward.
