Elgb's "Medieval Mayhem" EDGES!!!

Short: While the saber has a one-foot long advantage than the longsword, I'm still giving it to the latter since a saber will be having a hard time trying to go through chainmail as wella s lacking the precision of thrusts to pinpoint unarmored parts, while the longsword can parry better and can pinpoint unarmored parts. EDGE: Tancred

Mid: Yeah a five foot long lance isn't going to be as effective on foot as it is on horseback. The axe is definately the better weapon with both an axe head and a spearpoint. It's also longer and can just chop the lance in two if it hits. EDGE: Tancred

Long: Have to give this one to the Mongol bow. It's got the longer range, rate of fire and penetrating power than the simple crossbow. EDGE: Yesugai

Deadliest Warrior?

Although Yesugei ahs the edge in long range weapons, which will help in keeping Tancred pinned down or shot before he can get clsoe to use his superior melee weapons, Tancred basically owns every other factors in the end. Not only does he have the better sword and polearm weapon, but he also takes the edge in x-fctors such as experience and tactics.

Tancred was one of those who took Jerusalem (and many parts of the Holy Land) to Christian hands. He's also one of the few honorable Crusaders who didn't went around murdering Muslims because of religion. When a battle erupts, Tancred is one of those commanders who actually fought with his men on the battlefield, unlike Yesugei who's more of a strategist sitting on a chess board.
