Those were for a RQ like game. And assume that you have a "shield" skill, usable with all the shields, with parhaps a short period of getting used to a new one.
But yes... if you had 70 shield skill, you would parry javelins at an effective skill of 110% with a hoplite shield, but only have an effective skill of 60 if you shieldwall got broken and you had to fight in a raging melee.
I haven't worked out HW figures.
