Graeme, Colin:
I allow a players to make a 'general' shield parry roll instead of trying to parry a single attack. If this roll succeeds, the shield then covers the appropriate areas during that round, adding its AP to those areas. This seems to me to be what happens in massed combat, by the way, since we've been discussing hoplites and the like. Criticals will still by-pass the shield. I could see an argument for reducing the AP of such passively employed shields by a fraction (say, 3/4 value).
