       6'9" tall

       There is no taper of shoulders to waist here, there is no “V”
       shape. I am the proverbial brick shithouse, thick top to bottom
       conical helm with nose guard and chain mantle along the sides of
       my face and neck
       axe (right hand) with a single 10" bearded blade, 38" long
       wooden handle wrapped with leather
       my left hand holds a simple shield of Torvaldsland, 40" round
       wood with iron boss and reinforcing ring around the edge
       Panga, 16" blade, sheathed horizontally across the small of my
       back, handle to the right
       a few smaller blades here and there on my person
       I step opposite you and settle in about 10 feet distant with my
       weight evenly spread across both feet, knees flexed but not
       crouching, the axe in my right hand is held high and back over
       my right shoulder, my right foot is back at a 45 from my left,
       presenting you with my left front quarter centred squarely
       behind the shield
       I nod ready to go

       35” alar spatha in my right hand, fist above and in front of my
       right shoulder with the tip of the sword pointed up and back.
       Strapped to my left arm, a 36” wooden round shield wrapped in
       steel trim held so rim went from below my nose to above my knees
       centered between shoulders.
       I glanced at you with icy blues and nodded my head from beneath
       my northern helmet that covered the upper part of my noggin’
       with rings to hang down the back of my head and neck
       I stayed at 10’ away to get the fight started and stood squarely
       to you awaiting you to close.

       says to Thresh the Stampede | Ma: -I lunged in now to get my
       left foot in at the 3’ distance margin from your own. The shield
       extended out and thrust into towards your sword using the top
       rim to push back towards your body at chest height while trying
       to make use of the boss to crowd your arms.
       -The axe having been cocked over my right shoulder
       simultaneously leaves the rest and comes over my head with the
       axe head over the left shoulder and over my own shield edge,
       coming in an offside left to right (My POV) blow to try to
       cleave into the right side of your neck/chest, slicing downwards
       towards your left hip.

       you brought your shield out towards my sword. my arm braced and
       slammed against your shield, as the rim of my own lifted higher
       then my head. tilting my upper rim back as I moved it up
       creating a sort of roof like structure above me. head hidden
       behind it so your axe will land on the shields face and not
       mine.
       I would step forward with my right foot closing to 2’ while at
       the same time I swung my right fist down and out to my right,
       swooping past out shields and curving back to my left towards
       your leading left leg, below the knee, hoping that as I crowded
       you with my shield against your own shield and axe, there would
       be little you could do with 2’ between us

       drop to a low crouch, right knee to the ground but still on my

       absorb the impact of your sword across the shield car
       -My axe having swung from high left to low right is now well
       placed to come back in a low level right to left swing just
       below your knee level. My arm is extended to try and actually
       get the axe head behind your leg, striking with the axe shaft
       and hooking the bearded axe blade around behind your knee if you
       try to pull the leg back

       Ok I can see you bringing your sheild up to pretty much lock his

       this working cause honestly you would be working against

       ok this one is a little difficult as his axe beard is behind
       your  left knee yet you moved your sheild from the left to the
       right aimed to try and break his arm about the forearm area ..
       while this may be viable it still wont stop a man from fighting
       will call it a clean move but seeing how you didnt state you was
       trying to get behind his sheild where his arm was located I cant
       call the hit good ..

       Mind you and I am rusty at this as well so if you wish you may
       have it judged by another to see if they see the samethings I do
       .. but I will judge it as how I see it thus far.
       Just going to call it good here like I said I am rusty though I
       can't see any of the attacks working well you are more than
       welcome to have Arnvid judge it and for a better detail maybe
       Talem the Rencer... but I have been out of the loop so long I
       maybe not seeing something here ...
       As for damages I am not going to call any nor am I going to
       call a winner or loser here again I hope what I did see helps

       Thanks for the input, will walk away from this knowing how
       better to word things to make everything all that much clearer.
       Thank you for taking a look at it, and if Truls is fine with it,
       I wasn't looking for a win, the draw down the middle works for
       me, we were mostly after a fight, and to knock some rust off.
       which we did. Appreciate you taking the time to look it over.
       Hope to get lots more fights on the go. See you in the sands! So
       to speak.-lol-
