Peypeypeypey Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 This is an interesting one. I guess it depends on when in the story it takes place. Cowboys are stereotypically tough, but I don't know that they're necessarily "strong" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenaryblade Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hmmmm... well medieval reenactments require a lot of formations and coordination. Many cowboys were civil war veterans, a civil war formation would be much closer to a medieval one then the mutants could come up with. I know it's a stretch, but one has to stretch for this one.

I buy that actually. Plus there is the element of horseriding, which both cowyboys and knights have in common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a separate jousting thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one recently at a local Palace, and you are right, it was a dedicated area for jousting and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just people on foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Honestly not sure now) That's something that has never been clear to me honestly. The picture looks like a reenactment in the modern day, and there's no horses or dead people or anything, so I assume it's the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to go with that then (unless @Fox wants to weigh in). It makes it closer. Assuming there is a minimal amount of horse riding, coordination amongst knights, and physical prowess with armour and swords/pikes being main requirements, I'm still leaning slightly towards the cowboys - but keen to hear more about the mutants.

RiotGear Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Horses do get used in some reenactments. It's also worth noting that it doesn't say it's a battle just a medieval reenactment. Also in spite of what Hollywood shows us a lot of Cowboys came from the First Nations. So they are likely more familiar with bows, spears, axes, and even lances than a bunch of sci-fi street punks.

Quote: Some reenactment battles take the form of a competition, where the two "armies" try to defeat each other within the actions permitted by the combat rules. The scenario here doesn't provide the exact Combat Rules, besides that it's Medieval period and the contestants will have to use gear from that period. It also doesn't provide a specific historical engagement to reference. It's more of a who would generally be better at this, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
