Now this is terrific. I really like the additions you've made re pole
weapons. Not to mention how much easier it is to use now with a web
browser.

So has anyone found anyone who can reliably defeat the 11/13 spearman
with no armor?

One thing I found surprising was that the defending against the initial
pole weapon charge seems to be relatively ineffective.

For example, a motley crue who defend against initial charge

Hero                                                            Win %
ST11;DX13;SPEAR;NO_ARMOR;NO_SHIELD           70.00
ST12;DX12;BROADSWORD;NO_ARMOR;SMALL_SHIELD           63.00
ST10;DX14;CUTLASS;LEATHER;SMALL_SHIELD              54.00
ST10;DX14;HAMMER;LEATHER;LARGE_SHIELD           51.00
ST9;DX15;RAPIER;CHAIN;LARGE_SHIELD                  36.00
ST9;DX15;JAVELIN;LEATHER;LARGE_SHIELD           21.00

And a slightly more motley crue who don't defend against the initial
charge:
Hero                                                             Win
%
ST11;DX13;SPEAR;NO_ARMOR;NO_SHIELD           73.00
ST10;DX14;CUTLASS;LEATHER;SMALL_SHIELD          62.00
ST12;DX12;BROADSWORD;NO_ARMOR;SMALL_SHIELD      56.00
ST10;DX14;HAMMER;LEATHER;LARGE_SHIELD           46.00
ST9;DX15;RAPIER;CHAIN;LARGE_SHIELD              39.00
ST9;DX15;JAVELIN;LEATHER;LARGE_SHIELD           20.00
