RE: (TFT) Polyhedral Weapon Heresy

En Garde! was fun.  I had the rules and played it years ago before I started
fencing.  Would love to dig up the rules and compare them to real-life some
day.

In another note: there is a European company that is working on creating a
14th century longsword card game.  Currently they are modeling the Italian
style but there are plans, depending on its popularity, on adding the German
style too.

They are crowd sourcing the development if anyone is interested.

Oh, if you want I have a little workup of the En Garde! stuff that uses a
tenth of a second resolution phase system. It should be similar to GURPS but
I'll need to check that. It is similar to Champions. I draw my hexes on
graph http://maoutsaou.wix.com/gomandi#! each quarter inch square is 13 by
13 inches at 1.3m across a hex side to side or a practical foot squared
which works well with stuff like floor plans and those old dance step
footprint charts.... uhhhhh
http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc97/6_14_97/mathland.htm the idea is to pay
attention to footwork as well as bladework and to get the York/Reed/Hobbs/et
al flavor with lots of room for routines like Dar....
the bumpkin's Pop's last resort roll-under and yada "Only Porthos would
invent a way of disarming himself" and laundry-room layouts and tactical
positioning mapwise. Ergo the IQ "I never drive faster than I can see"
stuff and scale relations as a Joe Average Hero @ 6' tall with a 3 foot
blade stepping forward with their bladearm foot from hexcenter to hexside
and thrusting can place bladetip through the centerpoint of a hex 2 hexes
away or in other words rapier is a 2 hex attack capable weapon. Hobbs did
Princess Bride too I gather and that's got a great feel for tempo and then
of course there's fatigue... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOcxnQRUhMM
