Pygmy Hippo's "FREEDOM!" Edges

CQC:The Beavertail Dagger gets completely dominated by the Dirk's larger blade, longer length, ability to be used with a shield and sword, is just as light, and is double-edged as well. Edge:Scots

Short Range:The Scottish Broadsword has a larger blade, longer length, has more options in melee combat, and has a basket-hilt for protection but the Tomahawk is lighter and can be thrown. Edge:Scots

Mid Range:The Short Lance is longer, lighter, and can be used with martial arts but the Lochaber Axe has a larger blade and more attack options with it. Edge:Cree

Long Range 1:The Murdoch Pistol has the deadlier shot but the Bow and Arrow has a greater range, is lighter, and can reload quicker. Edge:Cree

Long Range 2:The Hawken Rifle has superior range, a better firing system, and is more accurate but the Brown Bess has a deadlier round, is lighter, and can be reloaded faster. Edge:Tie

Special:The Claymore has a larger blade with more options in melee combat and is longer but the Gunstock War Club is lighter and can be thrown however it's mostly wood. Edge:Scots

Shield:The Buffalo Hide Shield is wider and tougher than it seems but the Targe has the spike for offense and is made of arguably better materials. For now, I'll call it even. Edge:Tie

X-Factors:In Tactics, the Cree Okichikaw take the edge as Guerrilla Warfare is much more suited for squad warfare than the Highland Charge which relies on having a massive army to absorb casualties. In Training, the Scottish Jacobites take the edge as raiding is more experience than training and hunting animals is different from fighting humans as compared to decent sword and musket training. In Experience, the Cree Okichikaw take the final edge for facing a greater variety of foes and being around much longer in history. Edge:Cree

Final Verdict:This was an extremely close fight but in the end, I have to give it to the Cree Okichikaw for their smarter style of fighting and great levels of experience. The Scottish Jacobites have a huge advantage up close with their swords, daggers, and shields but the Cree can keep them at a distance with their lances, bows, and throwing weapons. The Scots will fight to the bitter end but the scenario's perfect for both and their charges aren't going to suceed in anything except getting them killed.

Winner:Cree Okichikaw
