Combat mechanic question

Fantasy General II - Invasion is the reimagination of the strategy game classic from the 90s!

Armies once again draw battle-lines on the war-torn land of Keldonia, and a new generation of commanders will test their bravery and tactics against each other. Fantasy wargaming is back!

It is and it isn't.
It is "spear works against anyone running at you" so, we broke up the standard "heavy infantry is always good against cavalry" in favour of "this weapon is good against that, magic is good against low morale, shields are good against missile, penetrating weapons such as spear are good against armour etc.
So it is more of logical combination following from equipment and it is also amended by positioning - spears break charges, but so do rivers, rough terrain etc.
Not sure if that answers your question, but I would say it is a more varied and open system than straight rock, paper, scissors.
