User blog comment:Cfp3157/An October Stained Red with Blood: Bedouin tribes vs. Bolshevik Party/@comment-3189283-20150113170124

Lets see shall we:

Melee: 

The Bayonet certainly has the range advantage and as it is attached to the Berdan it means the user won't have to switch weaponry when going into close range. The Jambiya is more manoeuvrable and if the Bedouin can get past the bayonet then it leaves the Bolshevik using it defenceless. Both have their advantages and i'm going to give this one as a tie.

Edge: Even 

Revolver: 

The Webley is clearly the superior weapon here. While the Nagant it may have one more bullet it has a painfully show reload time which basically takes away the advantage of having an extra round in the first place, especially as it means one more bullet to reload. The Webley is much easier to reload and it's also got more power to boot, which more than makes up for the slightly fewer rounds.

Edge: Bedouin Tribes 

Bolt Action Rifle: 

The Lee-Enfield has the larger magazine and, unlike with the Nagant, it's more than just a single round which gives it far more of an advantage and it also has the faster rate of fire. The Mosin-Nagant is more accurate but with far fewer rounds and a slower rate of fire it forces the Bolshevik's to make every bullet count and means that any missed shots have an even bigger impact due to the smaller magazine size.

Edge: Bedouin Tribes 

Single Shot: 

The Berdan may be more powerful but that's really all it's got going for it. The Martini has a longer range and a faster rate of fire and enables the Bedouin's to pick the Bolshevik's off from a distance without putting themselves in too much danger.

Edge: Bedouin Tribes 

X Factors: 

The Bedouin Tribes have an average of 73.3 whereas the Bolshevik's have an average of 71.6. The Bedouin Tribes also have two edges to the Bolshevik's one.

Edge Bedouin Tribes 

Final Verdict: 

This should be a curb stomp for the Bedouin Tribes. They have the better weaponry, better training and to top it all off they also have the advantage of knowing the terrain better. Simply put they are much more combat based than the Bolshevik's who also relied heavily on there polictial prowess more than their combat skills.

Bedouin Tribes: 3,500

Bolshevik Party: 1,500
