Yeah, no I remember about the "must be same skeleton" rule. I was hoping the EB was able to get beyond that.

But then again... all the spearmen that are well enough equiped to have a secondary sword are Graeco-Roman ones who would be using a thrusting gladius or kopis anyway. The Eastern spearmen were never so well endowed as to have swords long enough for slashing, neither were the Gallic and Germanic spearmen.
