[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5546117, member: 59506"] I agree with Tequila Sunrise. Not only are 1 square charges possible in real life, they happen all the time - all you have to do is watch a football game. Saying one has to have achieve maximum velocity in order to have enough momentum to effectively attack, is like saying only roundhouse punches have any hope of doing any damage. I think Bruce Lee and his 1" punch would take issue with that (that is if he was alive:blush:). Don't think a person can have enough momentum in 5 feet or less to do any damage to you, I suggest you try lining up against an offensive or defensive lineman and call "Hike"... Taking away any bonuses to hit or damage for a charge of this distance makes sense, but taking away normal hit and damage bonuses, or stating one is incapable of doing it at all, does not make sense. As a rule meant to engender a specific type of play, it does exactly what it should. Does it defy what reality and our own reason tells us? Absolutely. Is that necessarily a problem? Depends on each individual person and group. The feedback that it may adversely affect other rules and elements of the game is a valid one. One that has to be judged by andy3k as to whether it's worth it or not. That it's not possible in real life is not valid, as it's simply not true. [/QUOTE]
