I consider that charging and throwing lots of blows is a high risk maneuver, If I screw it up I'm likely to get whacked. I also consider it as a "single" maneuver, not a lot of little ones. It is one manuever that I'm taking a big risk on in the hopes that I'll land a blow before the other guy.
I never really believed that in RQ each character only got to swing the sword once per 12 seconds. I assumed it was a combination of multiple blows that was likely to get a hit on the target. I think I'm even less likely to see each "bet" in HW as a single blow.
Does that clarify my position any Alex?

Steve
