Some pictures from Hunter's Moon 2002. Thanks Greg for taking these!

This is Sir Jeff, the armouror, training a friend of his.

Sometimes you get to fight 2 on one. This is Sir Jeff and Daffid fighting Wolf.

Abel and I throw the exact same shot. I luck out and make it work.

Two versus me! I'm on the right facing off against Tomas and Daffid. Tomas has just finished fighting someone else and is mostly pooped. In the background, the archers are target shooting. Behind me is Svan, who is going to 'marshal' (referee) this fight for us.

They close in, I'm happy here. (Forgive me, I'm gonna tell a war story here and it'll take a bunch of pictures and words.)
When fighting, you don't want to deal with two people at the same time, so if I can, I move around to a flank (side) quickly enough that I'll be fighting one person and his teammate will be out of the fight for a few seconds.

They charged, I stepped to my right and kept facing them.
Sometimes you can move fast enough at the right time that momentum will take your enemies out of the way. I haven't thrown a shot yet, he tripped or slipped. It looks like I should be able to whack Tomas, who is in the leather, in the back, but he's about 10 feet away. Sigh, I miss my 7.5 foot polearm.

So, Tomas closes slowly while Daffid gets on his feet and hurries to rejoin the fight. I tossed a shot or two at Tomas and he decided to wait a half second for that two-on-one feeling.

In order to keep that one-on-one thing going, I step hard left. Notice the nice line that I made out of them again.

Svan decided that we were too close to the archers and stopped us. (Thank you!) Here we are reset and ready to go at it again.

I wait for them to close. Tomas decides to rejoin Dafid before engaging.

They charge, I'm about to step.

Hard to my left, I'm fighting one person instead of two. :)

Good deal, a couple more seconds of one on one. This is an example of me foolishly inviting a whack to my shield side.

Hey! Looks like that wasn't a fall after all, I got in a good shot to his leg and he's stuck on the ground. Excellent. Ready for the Anti-climax?

Tomas is on his knees, I'm done. I'd have to guess that I legged him. He's got great defense on his knees. He probably just waited for me to make a mistake and made me pay for it. In a larger battle I'd have left the two of them and gone to fight someone else.

Things I learned not to do:

This should speak for itself. This is NOT how your eyes should be while you are fighting. I'm still a little gunshy with the sword and shield.

This shot should have never gotten thrown. It took energy and accomplished nothing.
