Pole Weapons: Attack / Defense Question

Standing against a single hex move only grants the +2 DX (and first strike) and not the extra die of damage.

The math favors a sword attack.

Example:

ST 11, DX 13, 2-h spear(1d+1)

ST 12, DX 12, Broadsword(2d), Small Shield(1)

Spearman disengages first turn and steps one back.
Swordsman (with nobody adjacent) changes his own option(ITL 102) to disengage (Valid because was engaged during movement ITL 103) and steps up to reengage. (Note one hex in any direction by ITL 106)
