Cfp3157's "Two of the most overetimated generals of all time!" edges:

Close Range: The Broadsword is longer, made of a superior material, and its attacks will be much more powerful.

EDGE: William

Long Range: The Composite Crossbow will be more accurate and will shoot farther. Add the fact that the ammo is made of better material, and you got a winning weapon.

EDGE: William

Siege: You guys are kidding yourselves with this whole "You can fix a catapult" thing. Yes, it may be able to aimed properly, but the elephant can be piloted out of the way. While you're reloading that catapult, the elephant wil stomp over all of your soldiers.

EDGE: Hannibal

Armor: Neither of these armors is goodto repelling thrusts, but with the better material of the chainmail, it'll hold up longer.

EDGE: William

WINNER: WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR

Like EA stated, William will dominate thsi fight. Everything he has in his arsenal is cold hard steel, which will demolish Hannibal's bronze armor while he cannot get through his chainmai. Add his greater tactics in the invasion of England will dominate over Hannibal's brilliant yet obvious ones in Rome and you have the winning combo of brains and brawn.
