User blog comment:Swg66/Ancient User Warrior tournament: Round 3 Leolab vs. Lachlan Blake/@comment-422690-20110526002410

Long Range: Mughal Composite Bow wins. The Arbalest may be the pinnacle of crossbows in mideval times, but crosbowmen with Arbalests still were massacred by the Turks in one of the Crusades, who used composite bows similar to the Mughal style. Edge: Me

Mid Range: Even. While the spear thrower has a ranged advantage and extra defensive capability, we have seen repeatedly that throwing spears is inaccurate and slow. The Naginata is a speedy weapon, but is only good in close. These two kinda balance each other out. Edge: Draw.

Short Range: Talwar and Targe win. As Swg66 said, the two swords are very similar. However, the Targe gives me an extra close-in advantage due to the spike. Edge: Me.

Special: Greek Fire wins. I seriously wish I had remembered this. Edge: Lachlan Blake.

Overall: I win. Other than voting for myself, I think that I have a greater advantage in long and short range. While the Greek Fire is formidable, carrying any large ammount of flammable material is a) bulky and b) dangerous. The fire has as much of a potential of killing Lachlan as it does me.
