Right. And everybody knows that all swordfighting amounts to is a back and forth overhead diagonal swing at the other guy's helmet, always parried by an opposite strike.
In the Augustan Civil War battles in Rome HBO 2, they did get some of the right kind of thing going on, upward thrusts, face strikes, shield bashes, etc., I think, but they still wore that latex armor...but they almost totally forgot the pilum volleys.
