Re: New Pole Weapon Rules
I don't have my old (original) rules to hand, but reading the new Pole Weapon rules something else doesn't seem quite as I remember it. Anyone know if I'm crazy? :)
The new rules state that if a stationary defender has a Pole Weapon, and a non-adjacent attacker moves even only one hex in charge attacking them, the defender's Pole Weapon does +1d damage (formerly double damage).
I remember only ever playing it as the bonus damage (what was double, but is now +1d) cannot occur unless someone (either of the adversaries) moved at least 3 hexes in a straight line.
In fact I'm certain I recall attacking pole arm users by first using a turn to move to a distance 2 hexes from them and stopping, then on the next turn moving the last hex to become adjacent and attack, using up 2 turns to specifically avoid taking the double damage.
Either this has changed too or my memory's gone shoddy.
