User blog comment:Leolab/User Siege Tourney, Round 21 of 63: Drayco90 (Austonio) v Leolab (Lloyd)/@comment-4661256-20130726201120

El Alamein's "Catapaults, Diseases, and Battering Rams" Edges:

Attacker:
 Overrun:  Not feasible. Austonio's tactics will lead him to poor micromanagement of his already mediocre army. Lloyd's calm, tactical disposition is going to blow those poor suckers away. It's hard enough to take a castle when you're a competent general, never mind a dancing fool like Rasputin Elder the Whatever.

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

 Force Surrender:  Nope. Lloyd knows he won't be overrun, so why should he surrender? Austonio might have a better chance at starving Lloyd out, but I don't see him being sound enough in the head to put together such a solid plan to make that work. Lloyd can camp comfortably for four months and then go back to that library he loves so much.

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

Defender:
 Force Surrender:  Lloyd can get to the point where Antonio would surrender, but I think he's so mad he wouldn't consider it - he'd rather be annihilated than wave a white flag. Maybe he'd burn the flag first.

Edge (although a self-detrimental one): Antonio Austonio Whateverio I Know I've Been Misspelling the Name But Whatever

 Annihilate Attacker:  Sure, I can see it happening. Why? Because Lloyd's fielding an actual army while Austo-whatever's just running around with a sword. And some guys behind him.

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

 Survive For Four Months:  This is the way I see most people winning, personally, because it's easy to sit behind walls and do nothing as opposed to have to go out and fight and get cut and see blood and other gross things. Austo-whateve-r can't break through the walls, so Lloyd can sit comfy.

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

Tie:
Ha! No.

Single Combat:
 Close Range: Talwar and Axe vs. Short Sword and Flail:  The Talwar-Axe combo is a better one than the smaller short sword and the clumsier flail - plus, the flail has the potential to incapacitate the user. Although if that happened, I'm sure Antonio the Alamo would find it hilarious.

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

 MId Range: Halberd vs. Guan Dao:  Halberd's multifunctional with the axe, spear, and hook - easy edge.

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

 Long Range: Recurve Bow w/Poison Arrows vs. Hat Flamethrower:  A bow is easy to see and easy to shoot, but predictable. I'm thinking that if Lloyd gets too close for comfort, Austonio can singe him a bit to let him know he's full of surprises.

Edge: Austonio The Armadillo of El Alamein the Anaranjado

Nah, just kidding. Longer range, more accurate, more reliable, and with poison. What's not to love about the bow?

Edge: Lloyd Kumar

 Single Combat Winner: Lloyd Kumar 

WINNER: LLOYD KUMAR

Easier win for the saner, stronger, more battle-competent general.
