First of all, Pezoi Brettioi are not truly heavy infantry, more medium infantry. Hoplites are far more heavily armoured. Secondly, the "swords beat spears"-argument is nonsense. We had the discussion some time back on the forum and, although not everyone agreed, the team's position is that even when all other circumstances were equal, swordsmen did not automatically beat spearmen.
