With two short-swords, you do 2d6 + DEX with two attacks against two potential targets. So you are never at a disadvantage to the greatsword wielder (since you can always just attack the same target twice), and at an advantage in any situation where breaking up your attack is advantageous.Once you get to 5th level, the short-sword wielder can take out 4 goblins, while the great-sword wielder can take out 2. Action surge... 8 vs 4. That's before you even get to the way that the fighting style bonus would scale.</blockquote>
