En Garde, Monsieur!

  1. Green gets the point; Red was impaled on the thrust first.

  2. Red gets the point or it's simultaneous, Red parried the initial thrust and gained the 'right of way'. I saw no effective parry by Green. And I think that's "Fille".

    1. There was no initial thrust by green. When green later tried, after red initiated the beat attack, for a stop hit they used a “flick”, a bent arm blade whipping action that doesn’t count as a proper attack. Tempo was with red, and right of way.

  4. Red has right of way, executes a beat attack. Green’s stop thrust is not in time. Touch against green.

    1. Oh, and had green retreated another 4” they would have been off the end of the piste, which would have been touch against even without getting hit.
