Tybaltcapulet's " Let's kill some colonizers" Edges:

Iwisa vs Pinuti: I've never been too impressed with the Iwisa's use in battle. Sure it's a nice distraction and all, but against a shielded opponent with a long ass knife like the Pinuti, ready to slice your body up, a piece of throwing wood isn't going to be terribly useful. Edge: The Guardian of Mactan 

Iklwa vs Sibat: The Iklwa is perfectly designed to take on large spears such as the Iklwa. Shaka and the Zulu's enitre CQC Iklwa strategy with the Isihlangu was made to take advantage of the speed of the Iklwa to overcome a longer and slower spear such as the Sibat. Edge: Shaka

Assegai vs Pana: Ah the old Javelin vs Bow   matchup. Well it's obvious that the Pana wins here due to better overall accuracy and power. The Assegai is only really useful as either a last ditch effort, or in a mass of enemies, which won't happen here. To me, the simplest bow, which will beat the best javelin. The Assegai just can't keep up with the simpler to use Pana.Edge: The Guardian of Mactan 

Isizenze vs. Kampilan: I'm actually inclined to give this to the Isizenze, as to me it's a lot more of a versatile weapon. The Kampilan may be longer, but to me the Isizenze's ability to hook weapons out of an enemy's hand will be invaluable. And here, this is less of a question of which weapon is fundementally the better weapon, and more of a question on how the Zulu's and the Filipino warriors are going to use them. This again brings into play the Zulu fighting style, filled with quick movements to throw off an opponent, perfect for distraction and being able to rip a weapon away.Edge: Shaka

Isihlangu vs. Kalasag: Speaking again of versatility, i'm again in favor of Shaka and his Isihlangu shield. As mentioned with the Iklwa vs Sibat edge, the shield of a Zulu is integral to their fighting style, being able to also rip weapons away just like the Isizenze. Shaka and the Zulus intensively trained to use the shield in many different ways and it shows in their ability to overcome opponents with longer weapons, such as Lapu-Lapu. The materials aren't really of a big concern to me, as the Isihlangu is made to be a much lighter and quicker shield.Edge: Shaka

Overall/X-factors: I'm giving this straight to the Zulu warlord '''Shaka kaSenzangakhona. '''Sure he'll struggle at first against the bow, but does anyone here think that Shaka hasn't crushed tribes that used bows before? Shaka takes all the other important weapon edges, partially due to his superior fighting style that incorporates his weapons perfectly. Also as a leader, Shaka is way more successful, being able to entirely crush major parts of Africa, and was able to go toe-to-toe with the premier British army, giving him much more experience. Lapu-Lapu won his battle due to an opponent who was highly outnumbered and most of his troops were unarmored. As a battlefield commander and as a warrior himself, Shaka utterly dominates. Sorry Rikun, but your Fillipino pride and Lapu-Lapu's tribe will be completely crushed and made as another footnote of alternate history.

Shaka kaSenzangakhona: 4000

Lapu-Lapu: 1000
