fighting techniques?

[TenkiKiller]

whats ure favourite way to fight?

[Krasturak]

Gah

Krast has recently re-discovered Rollerball (the original 1975 version, that is) and so his favourite fighting method is now the old Houston fist-in-the-face technique.

Gah

I like skirmish tactics, so bow for me.

[Sjakihata]

swords, definately. What you mean by "similar". Is a helbard similar or a spear? If so you meant melee?

Well, I love sword fighting. I am practcing two main ways. The european technique and I have expirimented with some iaido (sp?). It was only an intro course, but I can do the basic kata, and I learned to stab, slice and head attack. They all have special names, tho I cannot remember them. I am considering to start in a club (dojo), but I live too far right now, maybe when I move to Copenhagen I can begin my practice.

Bye...

give me my own 18th centuray ship, and him his, the fight like that.. old school navel warfare rocks

[Kensai Achilles]

I personally like bare hand fights (is that what u mean by fist fights?) since it involves certain athletic states, art and shrewdness ... but hey I don't mind ... ahem ...mud wrestling at all http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Since this is a modern age, I go with aerial warfare. For a formidable military these days, air force has to be strong. I.e Aircraft carrier for naval battles these days and helicopter gunships for urban warfare.

A deep defense which capitalises on an attacker's errors and fatigues his forces, followed by a large scale counter-attack

Hehe the less people have a clue what I'm going on about the better

No Not the Simon Scharmer one. This is a book that studies the history of warfare through the ages with a particular focus on the West and it's technological and qualitive attitude to warfare.

The reference was to do with the western front towards the end of the 1st World War.

[Shahed]

hmm I'm a kendoka myself, I like Japanese swordsmaship.

If you mean real close, fighting technique I'd say hands.

If you mean guerilla or urban warfare (first person) I'd say assualt rifle.

If you mean modern warfare I'd say aerial combat.

[Knight_Yellow]

who needs a gun when all u gotta do is push a button.

[Lord Of Storms]

A good naval force is vital to the outcome of any conflict .So gimme a good old broadsides battle anytime

[Leet Eriksson]

nothing beats a fist fight,land a few blows in critical parts and thats it for your opponent.i'm also into sword fights,but the arabic way of swordfighting.tried a broadsword ones was too heavy for me,i prefer the saif very fast and lethal and is of better quality.i also have a persian katana lower quality but similiar to the way the katana functions(same design too).but every weapon i had is sitting their for decoration and has no real use http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif when i go into a fight i use fists,its the manly way http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif
