Parry does not work with B12

[Divicid]

So it would seem that Parry, does not work when you are using a B12.
Is this intended, else it's a bug, meaning parry is useless with B12 =(

[Granger]

Parry is depicted with swords on the icon, which might be a hit that you need one for it to work. Also:

A parry is a fencing bladework maneuver intended to deflect or block an incoming attack.

(emphasis mine)

Because you never see an axeman parry in battle. Lol.

[Divicid]

I suppose that does makes sense. Ohh well too bad.
WTS: B12 xD

WTB shoot me a message ))))))))

[azrid]

they need to add zweihander already

[Potjeh]

This can't be a feature. Do we need to provide quotes from sagas to prove that people parried with axes?

[shubla]

Parrying with b12 sounds quite impossible. But I guess that b12 could have somekind of special blocking move.

You can parry with axe, proof: http://www.sagadb.org/fljotsdaela_saga#21 Or if you can't read Icelandic, I guess this site works: http://www.hurstwic.org/history/article ... ng_axe.htm
Relevant part:

In chapter 16 of Króka-Refs saga, Narfi came upon Grani as he was making unwelcome advances on Narfi's wife. Narfi thrust repeatedly with his spear at Grani, who had an axe in his hand. Grani parried the thrusts with his axe, but eventually Narfi ran him through. Narfi dragged the body away and covered it while Grani was still in his death-throes.

In chapter 21 of Fljótsdæla saga, Þorkell drew his sword and struck at Gunnar. Gunnar raised his axe over his head to parry, and the sword hit the axehead such that it stuck in the axehead. Gunnar raised the axe further to stop the fight. In chapter 58 of Eyrbyggja saga, Óspakr parried a blow with his axe. The blow struck the haft, breaking it in two.

All these attempts to block with an axe you quote have been failures:
Death, unuseable axe (as a sword is stuck in the head now - wooden axe, or what?), broken axe.
