[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8175684, member: 29398"] I meant on the same footing at the table: that everyone there is operating on the same basis as to how this two-lance business is likely to go. And this is more or less the same result you could easily get using D&D rules, though it'd be much more granularly played out with initiatives, attack rolls for each lance against each Orc*, probably some sort of roll to see what effect the horse's charge had; all along with return attack rolls by the Orcs against both horse and rider. As a side note: I much prefer this greater level of granularity over the level in the example you provided. * - and I for one would give that two-lance guy a stupendous chance of fumbling at every opportunity - that's just comedy waiting to happen! :) You quite correctly used the word 'guidelines' two or three times in your post; and it's that they're guidelines rather than rules which in part makes Rule 0 necessary: it's Rule 0 that turns guidelines in the books to rulings (and thus rules) at each individual table.
