Does anyone know of Olympic type fencers? Any size. Have wanted to create a game for fencing and watching the Olympics has got me interested. Thanks.

I:just looked on Etsy. Searching for fencers gives you fantasy figures! There might be some in 54mm.

Yeah, I looked there too and couldn't find any.

One figure out of a pack.

Can't help with the figures, but for rules ideas you might look at the old Star Wars Episode 1: Clash of the Lightsabers game for some rule inspiration.

It uses two decks of cards, from which the players select a series of attacks or blocks (parries). The selections are laid out in a row of three cards, each representing 1/3rd of a combat round. The selections are revealed one card at a time, and the players then decide whether to add cards to what has been revealed in hopes of having the highest total attack value for each 3rd. Win two of the thirds, and you score hits on your opponent. Hits are tracked by two figures who advance/retreat along a single track as a result of combat. The duel ends when one of the figures is forced off the end of the track by the hits.
The actual game is too Star Wars specific, and thus not real fencing, but there's a gem of an idea in there.

Alas, the game itself is OOP.

I would look for En Garde, a Thematic fencing game from 1993. Comes with two metal fencing miniatures.
