It occurred to me last night that step and wait is not technically required.

The spearman just declares a "I step and attack if the swordsman so much as breathes." Swordsman eventually blinks or twitches, spearman steps, which triggers the competing wait, and the competing wait rules go into effect, with the spearman looking at some bonuses from having a longer weapon and the opposing wait needing a step (he needed a step too, but that is already done, by definition).

Not that there's anything wrong with step and wait.
