Yeah that's how it works in Mount and Blade. If your shield is on your back, damages coming behind may be reduced or deleted.
It make sense!
Hard to create this is DnD, except imo as I said if you have +1 with a shield and another +2 if you hold it in your hand (+1 and another +1 would be strange because the shield in the hands really makes a big difference).
