Now, is the Amicus exactly just as wind resistant as the WindMaster. That's a little tougher to determine. The WindMaster is a bit more powerful stove, so, unless you have some kind of specialized test set up to regulate the flow of gas, any simul-testing is not going to be an apples-to-apples comparison. With what tests I am able to do, I couldn't establish that the WindMaster is more wind resistant than the Amicus. However, my suspicion is that the WindMaster is a bit more wind resistant than the Amicus; I just don't have an appropriate test that I can run to prove or disprove it.
However, as I say, the Amicus, is clearly more wind resistant than other stoves, and I think that's the important thing here.
Note that not all ideas that stove companies have to increase wind resistance actually work. With the Primus Eta Express stove system, the designers came up with a partial windscreen, but in my testing, the benefit of said windscreen was nil. There just wasn't any appreciable difference in wind resistance with or without the windscreen. See: https://adventuresinstoving.blogspot.com/2017/04/review-primus-eta-express-stove-system.html
