-**Rules**:+**Rules**: All the same rules apply in this game as applied in the simpler form above. The key difference is that the attacker (A) starts at wider distance from the defender (D) and approaches into just measure in order to subject the D. 
 + 
 +In all other respects, the game remains the same. D is not permitted to act until A's subjection of their blade is in progress (or complete). D cannot move their feet -- unless playing the variant above. A can move in any manner they see fit. 
 + 
 +The success criteria also remain the same. 
 + 
 +The complexity added to this extension of the basic game is the approach and picking the right line. In this way, the game more closely matches the fencing situation that will be encountered in the wild.

 +===== Further Exploration =====

 +What if ..... 
 + 
 +What if, in the extension game, D refused to allow A to subject their blade, whether by changing blade alignment, xounter-posturing, etc? Does that change the core mechanisms at play here? I'm not sure it does. Fabris talks of approaching an opponent in exactly these terms.
