 I'm sure you also excude Bows and Crossbows where there is clearly no mechanical advantage to being stronger.  A bow can only be drawn so far.  Crossbows are covered by the rules as well.
 
Nice memory on page 7.  Yes, that is tucked in there under some other interesting specifics as well.   Still, I don't like the idea that a very high dex character who could only hold a spear 1d (ST 11) could pick up a pike axe and weild it at a DX -4  Damage -8 doing the 2d+2 doubled on a charge or a set.  Max on a spear charge normal would be 12 dam.  But the pike axe could net 28 - 8 for a 20.  And if the Spearman's DX was 19, he'd be rolling vs a 15.  
 
By limiting the use to every other round, that really makes the weapon seem like a child wearing his daddy's dress shoes.
 
Good Fortune,
Rick
