Attack Patterns?

Ok, Let'ssay I want to make a cinematic or non-cinematic battle. I don't want to use a normal wc3 battle where they just slice back and forth. I want the characters to have a real battle of swords where one aims high and the other must block his move. I know how I would origannlly do this by, assinging up down left and right as keys, and then at the beginning of each turn a player inserts a code, and the other play if the same code as the other player successfully blocks an attack, then one goes on as the defender and the other switches to attacker. I know generally how to do this, although I am kind of stumped at how can I make a character attack different postions and if needed show him blocking the other players sword.

So basically I dont want just hack and slash, i need slices, thrusts, stuff like that. I understand the pause, input system and stuff like that, its just the attack patterns they use.

Is it possible or not?

And explain if it is

No, Repository does NOT mean Trigger Questions. Read the forum description, or maybe go to this link: Repository

EDIT:
To answer your question, I guess you'd have to make some more animations for all your units, then when the player selects an attack or blocks an attack, play that animation for that unit.

I dunno, I'm what you would call a Code Poet/Monkey. Maybe a modelling program like 3D Studio Max or something
