Glad to see the new set being released, e.g. Joust – Heroes of the Lists, and that it includes rules for using their Gladiator rules for Medieval Foot Combat too, so a proper and full tournament can be run.
So, what other options are out there?
Ones that immediately come to mind are:
1. Chainmail
2. Chivalry and Sorcery's Jousting Rules
3. Full Tilt (heard these mentioned, but am still looking for a copy if anyone has one to share – apparently they were available for free on the GW website, at one time)
4. Others?
Also interested in recommendations for them. I'd prefer a more detailed set, with some sort of provision for trying out various strategies.
It appears to me that in jousting, the guy moving more quickly on his horse has a better chance of unhorsing his opponent(s), but controlling the lance tip will be harder at speed. Then of course, there are various choices for where to strike an opponent as well.
Probably a number of other subtleties too, e.g. trying to angle your upper torso away from the strike, at the moment of impact, so it glances off. That should work, but you might be more likely to be unhorsed if a solid hit is landed, if you aren't sitting square in the saddle, etc.
