[QUESTION] Couched Lance X Attack with Lance

[Sir GabrieL]

Imagine the following scene.
Two knights coming to a front attack.
The first, is with your lance Couched, the second, will perform an attack.
Ignores feint and whatever else.

Who will win?

Thrusting the lance will always win in a frontal fight, as long as skill and equipment is equal.

 

[Sir GabrieL]

And what about a couched Great Lance VS a thrusting Heavy lance?

I'm not sure how it will go when both players just charge frontally, but I'm fairly sure the thrusting heavy lancer can quite easily win this one by swirving around at the end and stabbing at the horse. That way, he wins the reach of the thrust and can thrust at the head of the enemy horse.

Thrusting the lance will always win in a frontal fight, as long as skill and equipment is equal.

People can mistime a thrust though, either too late or too early, whereas a couched lance has a set range.

And what about a couched Great Lance VS a thrusting Heavy lance?

It's the same, maybe the coucher will kill the horse, but never the rider on a frontal charge with GL, if know the timing you can stick your pole into the GL noob
