James,
This post can be read as fairly rude. We don't appreciate that kind of behavior here. You're welcome to question the person's ideas, but do so in a more constructive fashion.

Thank you.[/color]

You are completely right. I wish I could go back and stop myself from hitting the submit button this morning. I should have just ignored the entire thing. I apologize to Gage and anyone else I've offended.

A dual-wields swords
B uses a sword in his right, and a shield in his left.

B attacks A who uses his left sword to guide away B's sword while stepping diagonally right. With this A attacks with the right sword at the base where the shield isn't located. B steps back(more efficient then blocking since its low) and attacks yet again. A curves his left foot backwards, twisting his body to the side and bringing his right sword to block. Then A slides his left sword up and behind his right sword while bringing his right sword up and then down for an attack thereby "trading" off swords(a minor area trade). B is either killed or blocks with shield. Assuming he blocks A steps to the right with his left foot, swinging his right foot into a semicircle(lead with right foot) behind his left. This rotates him slightly around to B's diagonal left. This allows the freedom of A to pull his sword away and strike at the head or base. B must then either black with his shield in which case leaves his side opened to a slash from A's right sword or he can block with his sword. Assuming the latter A can pull his left sword in and against the shield while sliding his right sword off and arcing it to B's back(again another trade off and area mix).

Hmm...I notice that the sword-and-shield man doesn't seem to ever extend his shield to stop an incoming blow near its source, nor move forward to crowd in the two-swordsman with his shield--in my meager experience these two are the deadliest tricks available for stopping a two-swordsman dead in his tracks, especially when they're used against me!
