Sword Or Shield

This message is to those who rule over the Counts. I can be your Sword or Shield, I can be your your greatest asset. I can be the vassal in which you your will is executed through out the kingdom. I can be these things or i can be your greatest rival, your bitter enemy. I can also be your greatest ally. I will have my kingdom one day. When i do, i will remember who stood in my way and who helped to elevate me. Take the throne or kneel before it. those are your options.

Your dancing skills are poor to say the least. Not even sure if you're trying to join a kingdom at this point or still starting a rebellion.

I came here for a discussion about the historical uses of swords and shield.... and instead I read the second thread from this guy.

EDIT: Christ, how many threads are you going to make?!

Yeah I was hoping for a weapons discussion instead it's a lesson on telegraphing your attacks. Which we could turn into a weapons discussion....

So, what fighting style do you thing is the easiest to predict? Sword and board? Two handed weapons? Comment below.

Broad i think would be easiest to predict.

All wrong. Depends on the fighter. Tip, arm, then legs are the order of motion when swinging any weapon. You don't punch with your weapon when you swing, you move the tip first then everything else goes with it. Another note, with sword and board, you can hide the point of your sword under your shield. When facing your opponent, you always have your shield in front, usually pointing at their face. With that you can hide the line of sight of your weapon as depicted here in the I.33 (or as it is sometimes referred to as the Walpurgis Fechtbuch or The Tower Fechtbuch)

Some of the later fighters from the Italian schools like the Bolognese sometimes press their bucklers to their chest though, but always brings it out when they swing.

I would think a flail would be the most telegraphed weapon type. No option to thrust, you need to wind up to strike...

Will I call you king?

... will I kneel at your throne?

Will I call you friend?

... will I aid you to your ends?

Will I call you enemy?

... will I slice you to the bone?

Will I call you ill advised?

... will I help you make ammends?

I shall call you none of these,

I shall call you fool.

A fool is what you are, you see?

A simple-minded tool.
