what am I doing wrong ?, I guess wrong?

[Hoppelhase]

Hi,

 I have sometimes a problem.

 I have a Master Work 1 hand weapon + shield Huscarl, 160 points in 1 hand and 21 Agi

 Now I walk around in the area and it comes to fight my opponents hand with a 2 = See HP 92-speed weapon and a lot more range than I ..

 = he kicks off ... hit hit hit hit hit every second + faster hit a hit ...

 When I open my shield = dead .. here I would have to be faster due to my speed weapons?

 What am I doing wrong ... guess the only I do not ask me? ...

Google translate for me, sry...

it's just about timing you have to relese your block just before he hits your shield and then you can strike back

[Ninja_Totoro]

Its because you suck at timing.

[Blondin]

No, you don't suck, you just have to train and understand game mechanics, it's all about timing, footwork and type of attack.
timing is important, that means try to anticipate, also you must know that sometimes after the first attack you are stun and you can't attack before the second attack.
Foot work is needed, try to circle around your opponent and you will find some weak points.if your opponent have a better reach than you then stay close to him, but after an attack you can backpedal and release and attack, when your opponent strike back you will be unreachable.
Left slash is the key, fast and direct to the head. If you try a right slash against 2handers 80percent of times 2h will be faster due to animation mechanics. When you are behind your adversary(footwork) you can try overhead slash.

dont backup in a straight line, look at which swing he is using and circle to the correction direction, get some space between you, make him miss you with a swing then go on the offensive.

this kind of thread is an archetype thread of warband. I repeat warband not crpg, there are hundreds of them across the taleworlds forum and probably in every single mod. Since very early beta there are people having massive problems with described timing+footwork+game mechanics. So in short, you are not alone with your problems, but they can be solved, just try to figure it out.

This old infantry primer might be still helpful, though i'm not sure if its still up to date: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,87133.msg2247070.html#msg2247070
