Ok kids, its time for MB's Legen-wait for it-Dary edges

Melee 1: Edge:Even- Both sides have bowie knives so it'll be down to the individuals to use them in a way that will kill the other.

Melee 2: Edge: Even-The bat can cause alot of damage when it hits, and in the hands of the Bear Jew, each hit will be a kill. But a hunting knife, while smaller is designed to be a weapon. But each strike may or may not be a kill.

Pistols: Edge: The Basterds-The Walther has more rounds, and reloads faster.

Main Weapons: Edge: Wolverines-The AK-47 may have 2 fewer rounds than the MP-40, but the AK has rifle rounds, which will cause more damage than the MP-40's pistol rounds. The weapons is also more reliable, and more accurate.

Main Weapons 2: Edge: Wolverines-The Valmet M76 is a machine gun as opposed the M1 Garand, while a great weapon, is simply a battle rifle. The M1 cannot stand up to the fire power that the Valmet can put down.

Explosive: Edge: Wolverines-The Rgd-5, being a grenade has no visible counter to when it explodes. What do I mean by that? The dynamite has an exposed fuse which if the Wolverines are quick enough can put out. The basterds could throw the grenade back, but it may explode in their faces.

Special: Edge: Even-We have polar opposites here when it comes to range. The RPG has to be fired from a distance to avoid injury to the user. The Pistol glove must be used up close to ensure accuracy.

X-factors:

Training: The Basterds take this x-factor. They're trained by the US Army, and the OSS. Wicki was also trained by the US Army Rangers. Don't believe me? In th movie when Lt. Raine is briefing the Basterds Wicki has a WWII Ranger tab on his shoulder. The Wolverines, were not trained. They did receive some from Colonel Tanner, but that ended when he was killed in action.

Success: In terms of man power lost, both sides were equally unsuccesful. At the end of their respective movies, both sides only had two people left. But in terms of actions, the Basterds were succesful. They killed Hitler, Goebbels, Bohrman, and Goering. Effectively ending the war in Europe.

Savagery: This x-factor is split evenly by both sides. The Basterds, when they ambushed a German patrol would kill all but one of the soldiers. The dead were scalped and the lone survivor received a swastika carved into their head. The Wolverines on the other hand, killed all they met. They couldn't let anyone live. They even executed one of their own for revealing (albeit unwillingly) the Wolverines' location.

Motivation: The Wolverines get this slightly. Yes the Basterds were very motivated, they had a goal of killing the entire high command of Nazi Germany. But the Wolverines were fighting to liberate there homeland. That'll motivate you for sure.

Tactics: The Wolverines take this x-factor as well. The Basterds had great tactics. Setting up Operation Kino took alot of brain power. But the Basterds didn't create that. Brigitte von Hammersmark created it for the Allies. The Wolverines liberated a POW camp. And they did it led by Colonel Andrew Tanner. Granted he was the one who thought up the plan, but even still. He still gave the Wolverines valuable knowledge of tactics. Though how in the hell does an Air Force pilot know about ground fighting tactics? I don't know, maybe he was an Army infantry officer who switched to the Air Force to become a pilot.

WINNER: The Wolverines-They're better armed, they have the x-factors they need to win, and faced warriors better trained than the Basterds and won. I mean, they took out Spetsnaz troops. That's pretty badass.
