1. The range aspect of your rebuttal has alreayd been taken into account in the edit of the vote, so this part of the debate no longer matters

2. The counter strikes from either spatha or shield will be very fast, perhaps even too fast for Ganzorig to dodge

3. True, chain mail wont hold up against steel blades, but neither does unprotected skulls hold up against iron weapons, and even in ancient times, iron blades could, and did, pierce iron armor
