Elgb's "Enemies of Liberty" EDGES!!!

Short: I'm giving this one to the officer sword. The Hessian longsword seems to have an old-fashioned broad medieval design to it; a design that is completely obselete during the 18th century. The officer sword has a more saber design that it more effective in slashing (contrary to what Wass said) and in dealing damage in general, as well as being a decent thrusting weapon as well. There is just a reason why sabers repalced longswords. EDGE: Redcoats

Pistol: Both are too similar in design and functionaility to be compared. The Prussian does have a larger club for clubbing people but its too minor to be an advantage (though its got a sick design). EDGE: Even

Long: Easy edge to the Jaeger rifle. It's a rifle compared to the Brown Bess which is a musket. This means that the Hessian can fire shots ata  farther distance and more accuracy than the Redcoats and their muskets. Although the musket can be loaded faster, in a non-volley gunfight like this they're gonna miss a number of shots while the Hessians can snipe them from afar. EDGE: Hessians

Special: Going for the bayonet due to functionality. It can simply be attached to the musket so that the redcoats don't have to switch between weapons. The bayonet also has a longer reach than a common axe. EDGE: Redcoats

Deadliest Warrior?

I have to give this one to the Redcoats. They may lose in the firearms category, but they make up for it for the sheer superiority of their melee weapons and x-factors. Hessians are mercenaries at best, soldiers of fortunes who fights only because of money and when things get rough, there's a huge chance that they'll turn away and run.

The Redcoats are a more professional type of soldier that are better drilled, trained and disciplined (hence why they are more expensive). The Hessians fought in a shorter span of time and were mostly filled with acts of barbarisms that are further evident of their brutish and undiplined characteristics. Unlike the mercenaries, the Redcoats wreaked havok in a larger amount of time and territory, from America, Africa, India, Australia and against other superpowered nations. Sorry Hessians but you'll be seeing bloody "red" after this battle.
