BG1's "Curse of the Black Pearl" Edge:

I am definitively giving this one to the Pirates here since their weapons are more advanced than that of the zombies and yes reload time is an issue but heck if they are pressed for time, at least they have a sword/polearm/knife at hand which should be able to do some decapitation/severing if the ball didn't do it. Of great importance is the ship with its cannons and the grenado since with all that explosive firepower, you can essentially mow down the zombies by the bunch. Yes the ship might not be as good a fortress as say a castle or a tower but heck its still a decent fortress; and heck what's to stop the captain from simply dragging his boat out to sea? I doubt the zombies can swim to the boat which means the Pirates have a great range advantage there. As far as I can tell, the Voodoo zombies (while great in number) lack speed - yes they might be faster than your Romero zombie but I doubt they are as fast as the 28 Days Later ones. So with speed, range, creativity, training and sophistication on their side, the Pirates should be able to eliminate all 500 zombies without losing too many men (maybe 10 is the max they will lose).
