>>37478495Nice to see my ideas actually making sense to people other than myself!
I know many of the quick release knots are pretty annoying to tie but being able to get off the skis quickly should be worth it, and I think people who need to make a hasty retreat probably won’t need to take off the skis as quickly so they can afford to use other knots in those circumstances (and if not then I suppose it still works well for Palherjar’s “glory in victory or in death” thing)
I’m thinking of incorporating quick-release skis into Carolean advances since moving faster should lower their casualties while being able to take off the skis quickly will make them less hindered during the melee phase, although skiing might also make maintaining the tight formation harder
