Edges

Short Range: The Saber wins, but only barely. While it appears to be far superior weapon, the Bowie knife has advantages such as getting in close. Getting in close, espceilly in a building situation, makes a longer weapon a hinderance rather than and advantage, in condinfed spaces a slashing sword can't be used as effectivly. However the pre reach and killing power of the saber gives it stand off distance the knife lacks. So in the ends the Aber wins, but not by as mch as you would think Edge: Grand Armee

Medium Range: Okay, these are Way to similar to give a real advantage to. In then end they are to similar to give a definate edge to either. Edge Even

Long Range: This where things really go in the Alamo Defenders favor. The Baker Rifle is, well a rifle, so it is more accurate with it's rifeling. The Musket, while having a faster reload time, is less accurate and has a shorter range. The Rifle can hit more accurately and as greater distances. In this fight, a small scall fight, then more accurate weapon will win, the musket is meant for volly fire are large groups, and while it can be accurate, by it's very nature isn't as accurate as the rifle. Edge:Alamo Defenders

Winner: Alamo Defenders: In the end the Alamso defenders win do to a superior long range weapon, having a familiarity with the combat zone, and the fact they would be more accustome to fighting in small scale comabt, where as the Grand Armee would be used to fighting in tradtional comabt lines.
