I haven't seen this answered anywhere, and please feel free to point me in the right direction if I have missed it, but here's my question. How is combat on horseback dealt with now that a horse takes up a 10'x10' space. Where is the rider placed on the battlemat and what kind of reach does he...

Has it been so long? I guess it has. Some of us must like change and the anticipation of something new.

No offense taken, though it is I. I have been around, though with not much time on my hands. I make it in to read Morrus' news and once in a while look at the boards, though I rarely have time to post. I couldn't avoid this topic, however.

Eric, you provided the space for an online community that, even with challenges on all sides, still exists today, if in altered form. You accomplishged more in that short time than many do in their lifetimes. I am very glad that I was a part of it.

Hmm, interesting point.
