As I remember it, the rider (even if Medium size) also effectively occupies the same 4 spaces (and is vulnerable to attack from any enemy who can reach any one of those 4 squares).Can the rider also attack *from* any of those 4 squares? If so, can't they effectively use the lance against opponents adjacent to the mount, since each square adjacent to the mount is also 2 squares away from at least one of the other three squares the mount occupies? I like this idea, since it makes mounted combat both more effective (for attacking more enemies) AND more dangerous (for simultaneously being attacked by more enemies).<EDIT: Hmm, just found some other threads about lances & mounted combat . . . reading up on these . . .></blockquote>
