ES - fighting in the West

[Sharon P.]

I picked up a copy of Duchess Elina's book recently.  It has several pages
of pictures in a 'flipbook' style..meaning you flip the pages really fast
and you get a sort of animation of how the blows are thrown. Its kinda cool
coz you can stop at look at the blow at each step.  She demonstrates all
throws beginning w/ the sword hanging down the back.

>Shields were much smaller, and moved around more.  The basic stance seemed
>to be with the shield under the chin and the bottom of the shield at a 45

>and the blade hanging down the back.  It looked very strange.
