"LOTR stategy battle game rules question" Topic

Hello all,
I am wondering whether cavalry figures can use a two handed weapon while mounted. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they cannot. There are at least two cavalry figures that I know about with two handed weapons sculpted on…Thrydan Wolfsbane Dunlending Chief (with twohanded axe) and Nazgul Dwimmerlaik (with twohanded sword). What is the rule
Thanks

Think about it.
Aren't those weapons for when you dismount and fight on foot?

No. No use of 2h while mounted is the rule. Those models might have *special* rules though that allow them too. I dunno.

Don't know the game rules but see this trailer for Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress": YouTube link

In the first scene, Toshiro Mifune rides after some poor sap, standing in the saddle with his weapon two-handed. In the next shot he completes the stroke one-handed, but his other arm splays out for balance and does not hold the reins at any time.

For me this pretty much settled the nonsense about "can't use a two-handed weapon on horseback because you need a hand to steer", at least for heroic characters. You steer with your knees so you can use both hands.
