Ok I will try my best to vote.

Sword:Edge Mongols:This is a close one,first I was going with the Spathi,which can both stab and slash,and you can use it with the shield for both offense and defense,don't forget that is a lighter.On the other hand the Turko-Mongol saber has better cutting power and it's longer,but since the Mongols are wearing lamellar armor,which can stand trusting and slashing attacks,and the chainmail only can stand against slashing attacks,I give a slight edge to the Mongols.

Heavy Weapons:Edge Varangian:This not really hard.The axe will always beat the bludgeoning weapons,because the bludgeon is not the best way to kill somebody,also the mace will need to get pass the shield and then kill Varangian,which his chainmail armor is going to protect him better than the lammelar of the Mongol,on the other hand the axe isn't going to have any problems with the Mongol.

Polearms:Edge Varangian: The boar spear is actually a spear more used for hunting which means that it is an improvised  weapon,while the glaive on the other hand is longer and can deal a monstrous damage against your opponent,but if your opponent get near you the long glaive is now useless,don't forget that the boar spear can be thrown or use it as normal spear.Even if its improvised weapon,the boar spear takes the edge.
