Recruit
Like the tailor in the Brothers Grimm story, the one who killed seven flies with a swipe of his towel, embroidered a belt with the words, "Seven at One Blow" and set out on adventures, I bought a 2H axe (actually two or three kinds for variety) and went looking for trouble.
Some river pirates up to no good, stopped me, demanding my axe and my fancy horse. Naturally, I declined. In the ensuing encounter they had lined up just enough that riding by at full gallop I was able to kill several with one swing. Was it seven? Hard to tell 'cause everything was happening so fast.
Well, needless to say, I was surprised. I don't know how to use an axe effectively; my general tactic is to hit everything I can see and my good friend Borcha hits everything within reach whether he can see it or not - so things get pretty confusing.
How do you use an axe? How are you timing that swing? Most effective tactic? Best used on foot? What's your best strike?
