Granted, it is not ideal, but then, few weapons are ideal no matter the opponent.

That's not true, even if we give Conan real world abilities instead of the "chop through plate armor with a sword" feats that so many fantasy characters have and which I'm expecting Conan to also have. This is not to say that I believe that Conan stands an equal chance of winning as Karl does. And if one would say that Conan, being from a time before treatises, would not know about half-swording, I would provide the counterpoint that using all parts of one's weapon is standard practice and a prudent, intuitive, and obvious way of fighting. never, to my knowledge) depicted with a shield, Conan has a very good chance of taking him out of the fight. If an armored man is struck by the crossguard, the armor could frequently be dented, and if he is struck in the head as the treatises suggest, he could very well be disoriented enough to be taken out of the fight altogether in only a few strikes. Half-swording (using the hilt as a bludgeon as pictured and demonstrated by the knight on the right) exists in many martial treatises exactly as forms to use against armored opponents, quite frequently when one is unarmored and armed with a sword.
