That "directed touch" statement is read by some to mean any deliberate shot
to the face that touches the grill. In accordance with the standards,
however, a thrust to the face that just reaches far enough to tough the
grill without being hard enough to impart any momentum to the recipient's
helm is a thrust that never would have reached the face if the grill had not
been present. I don't know what your knight had in mind, Bors, but I teach
my squires to take shots according to the armor standard.

I am not familiar with the drape concept and was told it was an open faced
helm- period. I agree that all touches to the face are not "kill" shots but
I would much rather error on the side of calling a face shot light weather it
be a sword or spear than be known as a "Rhino". ( Not that I call calling
you a rhino- I have heard nothing but good about you) Back in my younger days,
I have had fighters not call what I would consider a kill to the face with
my sword and ignore the blow. The next time I placed a shot there ( being a
lefty, it's my favorite shot) I made dang sure that the fighter had no
questions about calling it, but I always regretted have to crank it up to do so.
Guess that one of the reasons I never made knight.
