Every time I try to write something with muh swords I get this nagging feeling that Im not capable of describing a believable fight no matter how much I read on it, wish I could learn fencing or some HEMA shit but I live in the middle of nowhere and that is simply not possible.

Same with large scale armies, Im reading The Art of war but I wish I could find something that went on autistic detail on the tactics of an encounter.

Every great battle already has a fiction work written about it. You're just going to create a series of shorter, inferior, after-the-fact knock-offs.

not knock offs, it's adding something to it
and yes, every REAL battle has fiction
so I'm talking total fiction
>>8094410
yeah same sometimes

I remember the Redwall series having great battles, but I read those when I was like 8, so I'm not sure if they really were all that good.

Pavel Petrovich versus Bazarov, although the duel as a stand alone thing might not work if the reader doesn't already understand these two characters.

Read chivalry tales from the middle age, anything written by Chretien de Troyes for that matter.
