Or missile weapons and pole arms. Shoot them as they run up, then hold them off with spears. If they charge in, you'll still get the first attack regardless of their DX, with a +2 to hit and an extra die of damage. Combine that with use of terrain and humans should have a decent chance against Wolf stat wolves, and probably be too tough a nut to crack for less than overwhelming numbers of dog stat wolves.

But then of course you get the wolves tactics, like attacking at night when their better night vision comes into play, or isolating stragglers and bringing them down. Plus the wolves can use terrain to their advantage too, using trees for cover against missiles for instance.

Simple rules, yet complex tactics.
