    This is actually kind of old. I posted something about it when I joined the team and made a fool of myself because the answer was known long ago.

    Anyway, the problem is how RTW uses primary and secondary weapons. The Hypaspistai would charge with their spear and then either continue using it or switch to their sword - just as what happens in EB. Unfortunately, when a model gets knocked down it automatically switches to its secondary weapon. The reason for this is probably that CA didn't want missile units to get caught in a melee with their bow out the whole time and no way to fight back. It is intentional and there is nothing we can do about it.
