| I did write, “any figure who moves 10 to 19 hexes…”
Basically if TFT is going to have momentum rules, it makes sense to me that it applies to everything.
Warm regards, Rick.
Rick, your solution was pretty much what my mind was coming up with while reading Guy’s post. I think the only thing I’d add is that this would apply to any charging 2-hex or larger creature regardless if there’s a rider on it or not.

treated as if it were a three-hex figure. Thus, the man is
engaged, but the horse and rider are not.

Hi
everyone, guy.
Thinking about this, it seems weird to me. No other
critters get a "+1 hex in size" if they move 8 hexes. It
seems a strange little patch to fix the problems that horses are hard
to engage with guys on foot. 3 hex war horses (and those war horses
were HUGE), is a better solution, IMHO.
But if this, "Move
Fast & Increase Your Size", is going to be a thing, how
about this:
Any figure who moves...
... 10 to 19 hexes in a
turn gets +1 to their size (for engagement purposes). // A trot.
...
20 to 29 hexes in a turn gets +3 to their size (for engagement
purposes). // A canter.
... 30 to 39 hexes in a turn gets +6 to
their size (for engagement purposes). // A gallop.
So a small,
two hex riding horse that is trotting is not engaged by a single
footman.
A 3 hex war horse at a canter is not engaged by 2
footmen.
A 3 hex war horse at a gallop is not engaged by 3
footmen.
If a horse is not engaged by you and moves thru your
hex in movement, you are knocked back as it brushes by you. Make a
3vsDX if it is cantering, or a 4vsDX if it is galloping. If you fail,
you are knocked back one hex and fall. (And of course later horses
could trample you in passing.)
Optionally, being knocked back
could do 1d-2 falling damage.
Some rules like this, would
capture the power of a cavalry charge.
Comments welcome!
Warm
regards, Rick.
