RE: (TFT) Polyhedral Weapon Heresy

["John Linzy" <jslinzy@gmail.com>]

I liked foil because the limited target area (the trunk of the body) forced
a little more strategy into the sword play.  Epee is fun because you can
take what you learned in foil and then apply it to the entire body as a
target.  Nothing like stopping someone in mid lunge by a stop-thrust to the
inside of the elbow or the front of the mask :-)

To me saber is just a couple of guys slashing away at each other hoping to
hit before the other does.......

   Epee is easiest to understand first one to land gets the point, if
simultaneous both get a point.  Foil and Sabre have right away rules i.e. if
I attack you can counter attack but if I hit you I get the point.  Sabre and
Foil is an easy transition, actually Peter Westbrook a whole bunch of times
national sabre champ and 3rd at the 84 Games fenced foil in a team event and
won all his bouts against big time competition.

       My very limited experience with fencing (I was a good amateur for
about three months before life got in the way) was definitely that I
preferred foil and saber... is that a weird combination? Seems like epee is
most popular though foil is most common.
