isn't the -1 to parry with the denied side? I'm pretty sure (because I'm reading it in the gladiator book right now =p) that you get -1 to parry with the denied side and +1 to parry with the presented side... which you could already turn into a Riposte.

In armed combat, stances with a strong forward lean, such as in MS I.33 and Salvator Fabris, are usually meant to protect targets below the ribcage (Abdomen, Groin, Leg, Foot) by moving them well behind the threat of the stander's own weapon. They tend to work better out of armour.

Any thoughts on rules to model that? Are there standard gambits, maneuvers, or techniques that work for it? If not, would a variant of focused defense work?
