Horseback Combat

When charging on horseback towards the enemy, a mounted character requires at least 10 metres to build up enough speed. A mounted charge percentage roll is the standard weapons percentage - 15% + Ride skill percentage. If it connects, then the player adds his 2x his horseback ride power roll to his damage. If a player feels that his character is about to be charged by a horseman, he may take one block to brace for the charge if he has Professional Soldier or a two handed blade weapon (spears, greatswords etc). If his character is charged sometime before his next round, he may add the skill percentage and power roll of the appropriate skill to a parry roll (to mitigate damage) as well as an immediate counterattack at normal energy cost.
