DEFINING SHIELDS IN TFT - Existing Rules and Extrapolations

[DouglasCole]

If anyone's interested, I filmed - for my current Kickstarter - a few shots of sparring with viking-style shields and equipment.

Fighting starts 1:16 in. It's semi-choreographed, because I wanted to show certain things. You can see what we call an "overbind" in the first clip, as Dale turns my shield in my hand to expose my sword arm and side. The second cut you can see me using my axe to turn Dale's shield, and then use that opening to strike to the neck. The final is shield-and-spear vs two weapons - a sword and an axe. We did this one a few time, with me trying to hook the spear to control it, but he simply withdraws it and finishes. I don't really try and defend.
