CFP3157'S EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION: "The Tenth Crusade" 

Sword: Saladin 


 * sigh* Noob, I'm giving you one day to make this an even comparison and give Charlemagne's men swords. Until then, Saladin gets this edge because he's not the only one with a weapon lol.

Polearm: Charlmagne

The Boar Spear will make a better used weapon for ground combat, being a lighter and sturdier weapon compared to the outrageously long Pike here.

Long Range: Saladin 

The Recurve bow can shoot farther and faster than a single axe can be thrown. The Throwing Axe maybe can be used as a melee weapon, but that's the only advantage it has.

Tactics: Saladin 

Like Leo said, kind of hard to compare a campaign to a battle, but I digress. Anyway, since this is the only thing to compare in small field tactics, Saladin gets the edge.

Winner: Saladin 

This, in my opinion, is one of the worst ways you could've done this, but I digress. Anyway, despite Saladin lacking his greatest asset (cavalry) in this battle, he's wielding an arsenal built to keep Charlemagne away. His bow will decimate at a long range, the Pike has it's uses to keep some people at a distance for a short period of time, and the Talwar f**king dominates against the swordless Franks.
