I use a 2h "red" which is our classification for
a two handed sword. they have a few really nice perks, firstly being that they can hit through armor, and secondly that with two full force solid hits to a shield; it breaks it.

The thing ive learned fighting two handed is that while a sword and board fighter has a line of attack and defense, respectively the sword, and then the shield. Which allows them to attack and yet still be defended. When using a greatsword, each attack must also be a defense. Regardless you ALWAYS open a line of attack, and if you cant play range, your at an extreme disadvantage.

Fighting a spear, being a spear fighter myself, i can typically win in a draw as its a matter of getting past the head.

Fighting another 2h, its more of a dance, and depends on the fighter.

My issue, is shields. Typically, a shield man will rush myself, and finish with a wrapshot to my back or ass, once he is close enough. And while circling helps, the only shots I have available. are to chop at the shoulder covered by the shield and hope i have enough force to press the shield down and hit the shoulder. The legs, And if you can manage to get the shieldman to swing, an arm.

So i ask, what should be done against a shield
(keep in mind it IS possible to break shields, grappling, pushing, etc etc is allowed)
