Re: (TFT) Disengaging - Revision in Melee

["gem6868" <gem6868@verizon.net>]

from the fencing lessons I had, I just don't buy into the idea that a 
disengage invites a "free attack".  Basically, if I can retreat faster than 
you can advance [whether I'm just plain faster or I fake you out] then I'm 
going to disengage successfully.  Especially if you're tired or intimidated.

So what I'm saying in I don't believe "disengage automatically = greater 
vulnerability".

Hi Gem,
 I am not fond of your suggestion.  It would cause DX rolls anytime someone
disengages.  Also the logic is a little suspect.  I move away from you.  I 
might
get hit while I leave, but what prevents me from going?  Especially if I am 
a
knight with armor and you have a wimpy little dagger.

 The rules in the revised Melee only are needed in the particular 
circumstance
where things are broken, so they rarely slow down the game.

 Warm regards, Rick.
