Two Handed Weaponry frustrations

That's not quite the same problem as the big bug, but that's the experience I've had with Varangian Guard (from using them) and Tabardariyya (from fighting against them). Normal melee infantry attacks a lot faster than the 2h axes do, and many times I've seen a sword blow stagger an axeman who didn't attack while recovering. The 2h axemen will carve through most militia units, and do really well when they charge an already engaged infantry unit in the flank, but they don't seem to do well in straight 1 on 1 fights.

Thats a bad problem though isnt it considering the DEK are Englands heavy hitters.
