Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Close Range: Well in actuality minutemen didn't have access to colichemardes unless they were willing to spend a large sum of money to obtain one. It was primarily wielded by officers. However, overall my edge goes to the broadsword. It doesn't require much skill to use since the colichemarde requires pretty extensive training. Edge: Jacobites

Mid Range: The lochaber axe is the better weapon, able to stab and slash. The pike is too limited. Edge: Jacobites

Mid Range - Pistols: The flintlock pistol gets my vote for its greater effective range and killing power. The blunderbuss pistol was used at very, very close ranges. Edge: Jacobites

Long Range: Kentucky Long Rifle is the game changer here. Rifling adds accuracy and greater range, something a standard musket cannot achieve. Edge: Minutemen

Special: The dirk is the better killing weapon, seems like that knife seems relatively short and was probably used more as a scalping tool. Edge: Jacobites

The Deadliest Warrior: Minutemen, I don't care how many edges the Jacobites have, firearms (particularly in this fight) is the name of the game. The Long Rifle is a much greater, technologically advanced weapon capable of hitting harder at a greater distance. Plus these guys are using unconventional warfare deployed famously by the French and natives during the French and Indian War. 680-320
