What battle report was that? They have been known (I'm mainly looking at you thermo
) to get the odd rule wrong. But you cannot strike while shielding unless specified in the models profile (AKA thorin).

If you have a shield, you can double your attacks and not strike if you win combat. |

To expand on elronds point. If you elect to shield, you cannot be supported by spears/ pikes. You cannot shield while mounted. Some warriors (namely wood elves & Guards of the galadhrim court) have rules/ wargear which allow them to shield without actually having a shield. Thorin's Oakenshield allows him to make 1 str 4 hit if he elects to shield. You can shield when prone (always a good idea). If possible, I try to shield when outnumbered or when on the flank. Works well with either high defence or high fight value models as they are tough to beat. |

I think Thermo shielded with Thorin against me in one - which would be where he got the 1 S4 strike. |

Also, ALL models in the fight must shield, or you can't shield. EG: If you have 1 warrior with shield and 1 with 2h axe, both in base contact with an orc, you can't shield as the guy with the axe doesn't have a shield. You must roll to fight normally. |
