Go and play the game, and see for yourself if you need some proof instead of argueing here. People play games to have fun with them and not to set up experiments, and if that's not the case for you then you're thinkably wrong here.

My dear friend, Scatty was the one that made claims, without having evidence to back him up. The rest of us who knows how the combat system works as stated in both the manual and the Strategic guide as well as the unofficial FAQ, should not be the one who needs to bring evidence.
For the record, I did a quick experiment. With a recruit spearman with iron skin, holy armor which leads to a shield of 1+2+5 = 8 and a swords of 1. I also modded the spearman to have movement of 5 to aid testing.
I brought it up against a warbear.
My friend claims that the defending unit counterattacks using his shields instead of swords.
It's simple enough, under his hypothesis, it is obvious that if you use your spearman to attack it will do less damage then letting the spearman counterattack (8 shields will be used to calculate damage according to him).
I won't bore you with the results, but basically whether I attacked first or the spearman attacked first, the bears suffered the same amount of damage (between 0 to 2 hits). This is very unlikely if the spearsman counterattacks with shields since shields are *8 times* that of swords.
