RE: (TFT) Polyhedral Weapon Heresy



John Linzy,



 What club do you fence for?  I used to fence for Twin Cities Fencing Center
and I fenced at U of Wisconsin before they cut the program I still keep in
contact with a lot of the fencers.

     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...
