GAH's "WE DEFY YOU!!!" Edges:

Long: I will go with the soliferrum with this. It's longer range gives the user the advantage then the ball and chain, which at best I would claim was mid-range.

Edge: Hannibal!

Mid: The Claymore is lighter, more easier to use and can be used in close combat.

Edge: Wallace

Close: Warhammer is heavier then the falcata and will do more damage upon impact. The falcata is more wieldy, it also is capable of protecting the hand via the hand guard.

Edge: Hannibal

Special: Throwing spear takes the cake. Not only can it be thrown, it can also be used hand to hand. It's more versatile nature gives it an advantage over the one-pony trick sling.

Edge: Wallace

Armor: This is where most of the weapons of the warriors really come to task. Fact is, chainmail of the Dark Ages was better then the breastplates of earlier generations. It provided more protection then the breastplates of the Punic Wars, which were only meant to protect the torso, since armor technology really hadn't developed to the point that they could also cover all parts of the arm with any flexibility. Most weapons of the Carthaginian simply will be no match for Wallace's chainmail which can easily shrug off slashing weapons, while the opposite is true for the musculata. It can easily be crushed or stabbed through by the weapons of a warrior over a thousand years in the future.

Edge: Wallace

X-Factors: Edge goes to Hannibal by 10 points.

Edge: Hannibal!

Deadliest Warrior?

To the untrained eye, Hannibal would win. Both his short range was given the advantage and so was his long range. He has better experience then his opponent and has won many battles. Since he won his battles, he should win right? No.

Hannibal was unable to defeat the Romans in the end due to them deciding not to face him in head-on battles that he would win, grinding him down and wearing him out until Scipio Africanus came in and demolished his tired out army. William Wallace won his battles by ambushing the English, fighting them where they couldn't win, except in the case of Falkrik, where even then he held out for two days and still escaped.

Even when they go up to battle one thing will shift it completely in Wallace's favor. The chain-mail gives the Scots a far better advantage. There is a reason that chainmail was so popular, not only was it more affordable then heavier armor but it was almost invulnerable to slashing weapons. William Wallace can easily let Hannibal grind himself down before finishing him off with his own, easily cutting through the weaker armor of Hannibal.

William Wallace in my mind wins by chainmail armor.
