Tybatcapulet's "FREEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM "Edges:

CQC: Dagger vs bigger dagger, I think the choice is pretty obvious. I'm looking at the weapons only here, since i'm not overly concerned about the Highlander's knife abilities. The Okichikaw may be more skilled in general, but it's gonna be hard to get over at least 6 more inches of material to work with. And let's look at the handles too. The Dirk has a much more sturdy handle, while the Beavertail is pretty close to being a straight up and down one, making it harder to keep in one's hand.Edge: Ghàidheil

Close: Broadsword. Honestly, if the tomahawk wasn't so damn big here, it'd be much closer. The ease of mobility and carry would make it so the Cree could utilize it in the forest much easier. But being so big and clumsy compared to the other smaller ones makes the Broadsword the easier weapon to use in battle. Swinging and throwing the tomahawk won't be very useful, especially against the targe. They would be essentially throwing away their weapon, and if my previous votes indicate anything about this, I usually despise weapons like this.Edge: Ghàidheil

Mid: Finally I agree with Kazzy on a damn spear for once. Yeah the axe has that nice hook(which will be just about useless since there is no cav) and is quite powerful, but just try to hit a Cree warrior with it. This lance isn't like the mounted ones, as in they are designed to be used by literally any foot soldier. Not to mention that it can both stab and slash and any power the Lobacher is just too slow and lacks versatility. Edge: Okichikaw

Long 1: Straight to the bow. The Murdoch pistol is indeed a gun, but this is flintlock age weaponry. This meant each round had to go through a whole process of being retrieved, rammed into the pistol, and the pistol must be cocked properly too. And you better hope to whatever deity you believe in that your pistol doesn't misfire or get dropped at risk of malfunction too. The bow is a much older weapon, and much more simple, and that works to the Cree's advantage. With their guerrilla tactics, the faster firing bow will be a much bigger benefit than the Murdoch. And these are warriors that are trained and accurate with them so yeah, the Murdoch is slaughtered here.Major Edge: Okichikaw

Long 2: This is even to me. Now that there is a situation and a setting here, the Canadian like forest area will greatly help the Cree set up and use the Hawken to their advantage. But once the Highlanders figure out where they are, they can counter with the Bess's superior rate of fire. Both tactics will get a major boon here, with the Cree's ambush and the Highlander's Shock and awe. Edge: Even 

Special: Look I love the Claymore. It's big, it's deadly and would be a problem for anyone to get past with it's power. But it's weakness, being slow as all hell(yes a massive two-handed blade is gonna be kinda slow), will boost the Cree's biggest assest in CQC, being super fast and agile.The gunstock's smaller size and ability to be used in tandem with the rifle for ease of use is perfect for this. And let's not forget that the Higlander has to ditch his handy shield in order to use this and dedicate his full power to each swing, making him very vulnerable to attack.Edge: Okichikaw

Shield: Screw buffalo hide, i'll take the  Targe which can be used with the Dirk (what it's designed for ), and has a spike to help it out too.Edge: Ghàidheil

X-factors/Overall: The Highlanders are a scary bunch, especially with their  Shock and awe tactics, but i'm going to rule in favor of the '''Cree Okichikaw. '''First the terrain is suited to their style of combat being similar to a Canadian forest, so their ambush will be easier to set up and pull off. Next is that while again Shock and Awe is terrifying, in a 6v6, a volley from the Besses aren't going to be very useful. Also, the Cree are used to enemies with gunpowder level technology, frequently dealing with them while dealing with other tribal disputes. And finally, I see the Jacobite weaponry to be very slow and  more reliant on power more than speed, which the Cree can easily take advantage of quite easily. The quick use of the Cree weaponry and the agility and speed of their  fighting style will give just as much shock and awe as the Highlander and ultimately give them the victory here.
