El Alamein's "I Get Pissed Off When You Spell My Name Wrong" Edges:

 Close Range:   Fire-Hardened Club vs. Poisoned Khanjar: The Khanjar is basically like the Jambiya - in fact, its | Wikipedia page says so in the first paragraph. It's got a sharp blade for thrusting and a curved hook that allows for slashes, and while poison in a fight doesn't do a lot to help (mostly because poison doesn't act fast enough to kill an enemy in the 2 seconds they can use to attack you back), but it's a nice little X-Factor to consider. I like the club because it won't break, but it's a big, bulky weapon and it requires multiple strikes to kill (unless you're talking about a head-shot here). The Khanjar is simply the better weapon for a close-ranged fight.

Edge: Hashashin

 Mid Range: Germanic (Long)Sword vs. Scimitar:  I have no idea how to compare the sizes of the Germanic Warrior's sword, so I'll assume it's the traditional longsword-style blade....

The Germanic Warrior is bigger and has the more powerful swing behind each strike, so the longsword will have greater stopping power. The Scimitar might be longer or shorter (either way it's by a really small margin) but it's limited to slashing attacks as far as effectiveness goes, and even with the technique of pushing against the back of the blade for more stopping power, I still think the Germanic Warrior is bigger and stronger and so his harder-hitting, longer-reaching (possibly) blade that can swing and thrust gets my edge.

Edge: Germanic Ghost Warrior

 Long Range; Spear vs. Knives:  Like the good Doctor Las said, the spear is more accurate, and it's got greater stopping power - a dinky knife going into your stomach won't stop you dead in your tracks like a 7-foot long piece of wood will. The spear is a better tool used as a melee weapon, and it's simply more intimidating. Yeah, the Hashashin has 5 knives but ultimately I don't think it matters. The Ghost Warrior's shield will be more than enough to compensate.

Edge: Germanic Ghost Warrior

 Shields  : Germanic Square Shield vs. Hashashin Round Shield: Eh... they're both skilled with their shields, and size matters, but only to a very minor extent, especially because I think the Hashashin's metal shield will be stronger than the Germanic Warrior's wooden/wicker shield.

Edge: Hashasin

WINNER: HASHASIN

I came into this fight going all Ghost Warrior. However, the Hashashin's disadvantages with weapons are slight, and his better armor and superior close range weapon (where a lot of the brutal fighting is going to take place) make up for that. The deciding factor though, it where the battles are being fought. HALF OF THEM are in broad daylight! I mean, the whole point of the Ghost Warrior was to blend in with the night, and you've ripped him out of his element like tearing a Band-Aid off a scab! The other half of them are at night, but the Hashashin isn't at any great disadvantage here, and so they have a fighting chance - sure they might lose more often in the night battles, but it simply won't be as one-sided as the daytime fights, and I think the Hashashin will end up winning more fights than the Ghost Warrior because of that reason.
