Elgb's "Dave the BARBARIAN!!!" EDGES!!!

Heavy: When drawing first blood, the Goths have the edge with their better projectile weapons. Those fransisca and angons (although I would debate that they are Frankish weapons, not Gothic) would demicate the Emishi in the initial opening of the battle. They can also take out shields. They too have the better swords, since a migration period sword's straight blade is better in countering armor than a curved warabiteto. The Goths have the larger and better shields at their disposal as well. Spears seems to be even. The only advantage the Emishi has is in their better armor, but the Goth's weapons can probably get around that. EDGE: Fritigern

Light: While Fritigern has the better heavy infantry, Aterui has the better light infantry. Both of Aterui's light infantry can pretty much act like secondary heavy infantry with their swords and armor.
