When we have too many guys on the field to keep track of, we're careful to
make sure they always hold their weapons in such a way to indicate whether
they are ready to attack, or whether they have just attacked. After firing a
ranged weapon, for instance, we move it to point stright up in the air, as if
recoil had knocked it back. CC weapons are held out to the side, as if at the
end of an attack swing.

Yeah, I usually ignore those too, except for Fliers. Charts are on the way,
but we'r making so many changes that we're waiting for all the rules and
numbers to stabilize before we draw up the charts.

Do you really think so? You were playing with Phases, right? I don't see how
it would apply otherwise. I'll add a note to review the Phases rules.

Oh yeah, I guess you did. A lance attack is treated as a Collision, which is
handled during the Movement Phase. I'll try to clarify that in the revision.

That's a good idea, but keep it simple. The NELUG guys did that before their
April Fool's Day game, you can check out their rulesheet at
