I can't visualize how to press my forearm against the back of the scutum. The position of the handle makes it impossible to hold the forearm against the back without holding the wrist at a 90-degree angle to the forearm.<br>
<br>
I'm not trying to be difficult, but I really can't figure out how to do this.<br>
<br>
While I realize that the use of the boss on the scutum is well-documented as a punching device, I also know that it was well-documented until the 1930s that all the American Indian tribes in the U.S. were cannibalistic savages and that until last year Neanderthals never co-existed with homo-sapiens.<br>
<br>
All I know is that with me <i> very limited</i> experience with a scutum, I'm not about to use it for anything but crouching behind while I'm stabbing somebody. Hopefully the guy next to me is going to be doing the same thing. <p><br><i>SI HOC LEGERE POTES, OPERIS BONI IN REBVS LATINIS FRVCTVOSIS POTIRI POTES.</i></p><i></i>
