User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/The "pro" season battle 3 Knight vs Winged Hussar/@comment-122.57.206.21-20121220030421

Edges

Short Range Swords: Im giving this one to the longsword as it can be wielded one or two handed, has a longer double edged blade and is equally useful for thrusting or slashing while the Szabla is only good for slashing

Edge: Knight

Short Range Blunt: This one I'm going to call a draw as the Hammer has both the spike and the hammer-head meaning it can crush armour or pick through it and the Morningstar (Actually a Flail) has a longer reach thanks to its chain and is also fast and unpredictable that stuff about the flail being a slow and clumsy weapon is utter BS

Edge: Even

Mid Range: Again this is a draw because a halberd (actually a poleaxe) is next to useless on horseback but can easily be used to defeat just about any other melee weapon on foot thanks to its reach and speed while a lance is only good for fighting on horseback. Some can be used on foot but are still inferior to a proper foot combat weapon.

Edge: Even

Long Range: This one goes to the polish crossbow because it can be reloaded faster than the Knight's heavy Steel Crossbow. Plus that bayonet allows the polish Hussar to use his crossbow as a short-range spear

Edge: Hussar

Overall I giving this to the Knight as His heavy plate armour will protect im better than the armour of the Hussar. Not only that but as soon as the battle commences on foot the Knight will almost certainly win due to his versetile longsword and poleaxe

Overall Winner: Knight
