CFP3157'S EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION AND BRITISH GENERALS!!!

Attacking

 * Overrun Castle: Possible, but unlikely. Cadwalader has cannons, which can be good for both target shooting say like at Markus' trebuchets or essential encampments, or widespread chaos in the tightly formed shield wall of an army. But then again, Markus does have trebuchets which will reign long range chaos onto large targets HE CAN SEE. The emphasis on that, because unlike his foe those castle walls are blocking the view of the encampent inside. Because of a limited line of sight, he won't know if he hit something vital like supplies or a meaningless patch of hay.


 * Force surrender: Highly doubtful. Both of these guys are very determined men, and forcing a surrender is highly unlikely since their high loyalty factor. In the rare case any men do want to surrender, they're smart enough not to let these deserters go.


 * Win Single Combat: See below

Defender

 * Force attacker to surrender: Highly doubtful. Both of these guys are very determined men, and forcing a surrender is highly unlikely since their high loyalty factor. In the rare case any men do want to surrender, they're smart enough not to let these deserters go.


 * Annihilate Attacker: Not likely. Cadwalader's job is to defend his castle, and he's not going to waste valuable ammuntion just to take out a small portion of the opposing army. He'll use what he needs to, but that's it.


 * Win Single Combat: See below.

Tie

 * One achieves objective but dies: Possible. Markus get into the castle, but he could fall to in mid-combat.


 * Both die: Possible. When Markus gets in there, you'll have two very skilled and deadly generals getting into the fray. I see Markus being defeated in single combat, but either fatally injuring Cadwalader or a hothead soldier getting a lucky thrust or slash on the distracted Welshman to avenger Markus.

Single Combat
Long Range: Cadwalader

The Longbow has a wider variety of ammunition, which is the only difference in these two bows. -_-

Mid Range: Cadwalader

The Poleaxe brings both versatility and length. The Poleaxe does thrusts, hacks, and blunt trauma compared to the one-trick pony of the pike.

Primary: Cadwalader

Because his shield is on his hand, as opposed to in it, he can dual wield his weapons while effectively having a defense mechanism. Breaking through the large shield will be hard, but possible.

WINNER: CADWALADER
