So here I'm giving you my opinion on dual wielding Vikings and a few other points that MatPat made in the video "Is A Shield Your BEST Weapon?". Drawing mainly from my experience in HEMA sparring and some historical sources. By the way, there is no ill will towards Game Theory. Aside from a few inaccurate statements I liked the video, and I don't think we should bloodeagle anyone for occasional mistakes. :)
