Re: Best use of 2-Handers?
IMO, it depends on the kind of two handed, with swords being probably swifter than axes or hammers.
We have to take into account the incumbrance of the weapon itself too, as the bigger it is the more room is needed to swing it, so if packed up a group of two handers would clearly be much slower in attack (or ineffective at all) compared to one handers. That's why the Romans used daga short sword as their standard weapon.
I think the best effect for two handed (excluded pole arms) is when the user have enough room to fully use it, thus granting 100% impact of two hands grip and weight of the weapon itself, and probably being able to be relatively fast too.
