[QUOTE="Three_Haligonians, post: 1866912, member: 19546"] I'll allow it :) . But seriously, you make a good point. I hadn't really thought about that. No, I wouldn't rule against a downhill-plateau charge, that would be too rules-lawyer even for me. I suppose my point really is about changing direction mid-charge. There is no (or negligable) effort involved in changing from sloping to even ground. There is (I think . . . I'm no physicist) a lot more effort to run around a pile of rubble, or jumping over said rubble. The effort you spend changing direction drastically like that would cause you to lose momentum significantly. I can't imagine a charge being effective if you have to weave between obstacles, or jump over hurdles. After all, there's a reason why a 100 metre hurdles takes a lot more time than a 100 metre sprint. So that's what I think. Until someone else makes another good point. :cool: R from Three Haligonians [/QUOTE]
