Tyranthraxus 08/05/20 9:05:03 PM #40:	Sexypwnstar posted... If a guy with a sword and wooden shield fought a guy with a sword and metal shield a swing of the sword against a wooden shield will get the sword stuck leading to an easy win. Learned this from my English Lit prof That's not what would happen at all. First of all the sword wouldn't get stuck. That's not how shields worked or else battles would consist if nothing but hoplites stuck to each other trying to pull their swords out of each other's shit. Secondly if it did get stuck. I can now pull on my sword as hard as I want and throw your ass on the ground because your shield is stuck to your arm. It's like this. Wooden shields: lighter, could be made very large. High surface area, great for blocking arrows. High chance of breaking. Could rot in bad weather. Metal shields: heavy, had to be small or else you get tired. Poor defense against arrows because it could deflect to another part of your body. Less likely to break when hit with a mace or axe. At the end of the day most shields were made from wood for cost issues. Metal shields and longswords were mostly decorative / ceremonial and not used in combat by and large. Weapon of choice for the bulk of Neolithic to middle age combat were clubs, staves, spears and bows. Romans used gladius were just really big knives for the most part. Mounted knights used long charging Lances and then shorts swords. Everything changed when the fire arms invented. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:943040291] in Spears are...

Prismsblade 08/05/20 9:09:28 PM #44:	Smackems posted... Tight formation of long stabby weapons closing in on enemy without breaking. That's where it's at And if it does turn into chaos (which means your commanders failed btw) then they have the swords as backup if the context calls for it Generally though you wanna be a mass of shielded or armored guys with pointy weapons (preferably long) that doesn't break With tens or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers duking it at once it's a little ridiculous to believe things wouldnt turn close quarters. And at that point the enemy is literally one shield block away from getting in and cutting you down for free. --- 3DS FC:3368-5403-9633 Name: Kaizer PSN: Blackkaizer <cite>Prismsblade posted [p:943040468] in Spears are...

And at that point the enemy is literally one shield block away from getting in and cutting you down for free. Grabbing the spear with their free hand is also a option if shieldless. This I believe is usually why spearman, say, in the Roman army were calvary. Good luck getting to the spear guy to grab it. Also his buddy behind him has a spear too and he's gonna stick you with it. As for it turning into a free for all melee, usually combatants didn't actually fight for long before they backed off to regroup, retreat, etc. Though the melee did occasionally happen --- Common sense is the most uncommon thing in the world-some dude. <cite>Smackems posted [p:943040586] in Spears are...
