Since this is the "Fighter Skill Development & Training" I think the topic fits best in here. However, I can move the discussion elsewhere if the majority sees it fit.
I'm going to start a discussion set of topics that I believe will promote and let us fighters develop. I know Kyrian had something similar to this in the History, Warfare, and Tactics forums, but I believe his was based on smaller unit vs. unit tactics. This was also a couple of years ago, I believe.
Brief summary of what I'm trying to accomplish:
I'm going to set up a brief situation/scenario of YOU (YOU being whomever wishes to respond to this thread) against a set group of fighters (2 or more, never higher than 5). I'd like to hear discussion on what exactly YOU would do in the situation. I'd like to hear this from someone who started fighting last week to someone who has been playing for ten years. The situations could be the final confrontation at a national event, trial for your unit, or something you've encountered during practice when the numbers dwindle. Now, keep in mind that "YOU" is whatever weapon set you use, whatever style you feel comfortable in, etc. Assume the opponents are slightly above average fighters, however if you feel as though you want to place excellent fighters in their place, feel free.
I feel as though this fits in here, because by promoting healthy discussion on different ways to approach common situations. It'll help fighters develop different ways to take down multiple opponents of different equipment sets.
The first situation is something I feel is very very common, seeing as how 70% of the fighters are right handed sword and board users. This is a situation that most of the fighters come across, minus 1v1 sparring.
Situation:
YOU vs. two right handed sword and board fighters. For discussion purposes, you are starting roughly 20 feet apart. Both sides have no wounds. Feel free to imagine them however, with armor or without, etc. Please include in your response what specific type of equipment they're using if it is something other than a standard round and a ~30" sword. Typical changes could be med. punch, etc.
