How does one rotate a shield that’s strapped to your forearm?

You could rotate it before battle to your preferred position, but not rotate it mid battle.
Clearly it’s a handle grip, not strapped. Most shields are, it gives greater mobility and utility.
You’d have to be really strong to hold a shield that large, with that much steel reinforcement, without strapping it to your arm.
Not every shield is strapped down. Though I agree this one is a bit big for just a center grip
As a short person, I found this guide very useful to face problems that arise in my day-to-day life.
Be careful with the leap attack, though. It’ll leave you very vulnerable if you fail or if there are more enemies around.

Also be careful of the shield spike, the dwarf in the diagram would have just stabbed himself
I love worldbuilding where it makes sense when you just plop it down in a historical context.
where is this from?
Aye, please share. My digging isn’t turning up any good hits.
What if the tall man uses a long stick with pointy top?
Looks like shield spike to chest per 1st bottom image.
According to the bottom left, shield spike attack to the chest.
The top dwarf in the bottom right picture is clearly impaled on the bottom dwarf’s shield spike… 🤔🤨
This adds stability to the formation
What part of “spike down” in the previous image did you not understand?
The images don’t seem to be a sequence. And there’s clearly no spike on the bottom of the shield in the last picture, so it must be inside the top dwarf’s chest.
Really nice.
However, on the last image, wouldn’t the second dwarf get impaled on the shield?
Not if the shield-holding dwarf had it upside down like in the foot attack.
