Blunt Weapons More Damaging to Armoured Opponents?

[SJAX500]

I know in real medieval combat blunt weapons were more effective against armoured combatants because swords couldn't slice through armour but maces and hammers can still break bones.

Does that translate into the game?

Supposedly. I know the training mission talks about it once. Its not mentioned anywhere else.

Someone on the offcial game forum posted this spreadsheet of all the damage values for weapons - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ami8d_HZmYHsdDRzc1Byb3ItVWNXSFR1SURHN29TZnc#gid=1

The item stats that appear on the weapon selection screen in game seem wrong. For example, Dane Axe only doing 2% less damage than the War Axe. Compared to that chart and the games official wiki, thats definitely cant be correct.
