Looks like he broke is teeth on the goblin's dagger

I had assigned this squad the "leather" uniform and had made enough iron swords previously.
Do I have to assign the weapons directly ?

It's a bit late for that guy.

For the rest of the squad, see what they're actually wearing (v, select dwarf, i).  Compare it to the uniform that has been assigned (m, e, select squad, select member) and then to the actual pieces of equipment that have been claimed to fulfill the uniform (m, e, P, select squad, select member).  You may find that you forgot to hold Shift when you assigned the uniform to the squad, meaning you only assigned it to one dwarf.  Or you may find that you simply didn't have enough swords to go around, so the last guy in the squad doesn't have one assigned.  If it's assigned on the m-e-P screen but not in his inventory, then he simply didn't have a chance to get it before he was attacked.

Also, even if a dwarf has his sword, he may not always use it in combat.  Sometimes he'll bash with his shield, or bite.  This is especially true if his weapon arm is injured, but it can also happen regardless.

Did you tell the dwarves to take short swords, or just "indiv. choice, melee"? If the latter, dwarves won't grab any weapon unless they actually have a weapon skill.

[greycat]

It's been a while since I used the default uniforms, so I'm not sure how that actually works.  But it does remind me of another thing to watch out for: if you modify a uniform, you must reapply it to the squad (m-e-U, select squad, right-right, select uniform, shift+enter).

ouch ... that must have been the case, i didn't know that, i'll be sure to enforce a setting next time.

unrelated, but is there some explanations somewhere to the color coding of the menus ? like the units view ? or the pasture list ? I have to confess this UI is a bit cryptic and couldn't find info about that on the wiki

The colors of creatures in various menus relates to whatever color their tile will be colored when you view them in the normal screen. For example dogs will be brown, children and babies will be red, and miners will be grey. You can find a list of the various profession colors on this page on the wiki.
