I enjoy the game immensely, but I am confused about something, the game is focused on sword-based combat, don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for sword-based combat in video games, but it is based on real events, and I'm certainly no historian, but was hand to hand combat a thing or not? There are 1 or 2 situations in the game, where hand to hand combat could have come in handy (pun not intended), so was it a thing or not back then? what are your thoughts?

Hand to hand was probably a thing but it was probably downplayed because blocking is a sword with your hands is a fantasy not a reality.

So the developers probably thought it wasn't worth it to program hand to hand gameplay into Ghosts.
