Re: One-handed or Two-handed sword, that is the question
Yes. The Zweihander is not just a two-handed sword or a Great Sword. The Zweihander is THE Great Sword!!!
By the way, can its quality be upgraded? Like a fine or very fine Zweihander for more damage? And again, is this a guige shield usage? I don't have the slightest idea of how a warrior with such shield moves and fight. Can someone show me some image or video? |

There's some guiges being used with shield and spear in the Bayeux Tapestry, IIRC. Last edited by sir_pudding; 06-07-2011 at 05:20 PM. |

Re: One-handed or Two-handed sword, that is the question
The Mycenaean Lion Hunt Dagger shows full-height shields being used with two-handed spears and the guige is clearly visible on two of them.

Re: One-handed or Two-handed sword, that is the question
I cant stop thinking about a weaponmaster using a zweihänder with a large shield on a shield-guige. It has so high munchkin-potential it ought to have its own card.
