Thanks. But there are a lot of times you're forced into foot combat (sieges, tourneys, ambushes, etc). I always end up getting beaten down in ground combat because enemies don't recoil after being blocked for long enough for me to get a hit in.

Blocking I rarely bothered with, outside of going shields up against archers or to backpedal.

On the ground, I'd try to play like on horse back, dip in, dip out. Wind up a swing, back pedal/sidestep until you see an opening, then hit them. One thing you can do is dance in and out of range with a strike ready, eventually they'll get tired of holding the block and will try to take a swing at you, but you'll already have a shot chambered.

Abuse reach, I like big two handers, and try to stick near your buddies. Getting caught 2 on 1 is bad news if you're the 1.
