A mace is, for me, easier to hit with than an axe because all that mass is
distributed evenly around the haft, as opposed to having two massive blades
that I have to keep alligned int he correct plane.  Gravity wants to pull
those blades straight down, but most shots won't be coming straight down.

And as an aside, have you ever tried to carry an axe safely anywhere other
than on your back?
