Joust rules?
« on: 09 March 2016, 07:24:16 AM »
Could the LAF hivemind point me to a set of good joust wargaming  rules applicable to 28mm figs? Surely there must be some out there...

I am currently reading GRRM's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' and I am thinking this could be the a brilliant smallish setup for GW Brettonians and Gamezone miniatures, having several players part taking with their personal knight, squire, maester and other followers.

I haven't played Crossed Lances but have had the book in my hands and it looked tempting.Thing is the fellas in the shop weren't overly positive about the rules so might be worth doing some research and seeing whether you can find a review of them to make sure they're suitable for your requirements.Sorry I can't be more specific as it was awhile ago and can't quite remember what  the negative was..will try to find out again

So I spoke the shop/store owner re Crossed Lances and he has heard there's a little too much luck involved so worth more research depending on what you're looking for

Cool, thanks. Perhaps a personal set of rules are called for.

I have already been thinking about a points tournment where each player spend, say, 50 points, between the provess of the knight (experience), squire (quality of armor), marster (post joust healing). Combine this with the actual joust ( mounted or foot) and you may be able to create a tournament.

Thats the whole point. Each player Ould bring inly his own player with the appropriante posse, to the turnament.

I have used the old TSR Chainmail jousting matrix for years. You can get a PDF copy here (The Jousting matrix is on pg 28)

You may find it to simple but I think it works

I was certain there was a White Dwarf one from way back when, well done for remembering it. Certainly looks like it has potential. :)

That's the one I was going to mention but a homebrew sounds interesting  :D

Do let us know when it's ready for playtesting as I'm sure we'll break it (won't we Nick)  lol

cheers

I would like to see an original version too. This is really interesting, a jousting wargame.  ;)
