Melee: If this was a situation where it was a knife vs a bayonet/rifle combo, it would obviously be in the bayonet's favor due to both reach and versatility. But it's going against an actual sword, with much more area to actually harm someone, and much more reach allowing it to be the more all around effective weapon.Edge: Mayer 

Pistols: Um, Appel, the Mauser beats the M1911 in muzzle velocity pretty significantly. And anyways I still give it to the Mauser for the simple fact that it has more rounds to fire. Sure the Colt has that .45 ACP, but its not like the Mauser's rounds won't get the job done. Having 3 extra rounds in a pistol, compared to automatic firearms or firearms with a larger capacity, is invaluable, and will allow Mayer to keep firing consistently for longer periods of time than Gunther.Edge: Mayer

Rifles: This one is rather close, due to how similar these two rifles function. I give a slight edge to the Enfield though because like Appel I believe its larger effective range is a critical factor in how effective it will be throughout the battle. I'm not very concerned about bullet power as these two rifles fire similarly sized rounds and as for muzzle velocity, the difference is pretty negligible in my opinion. So i'll give the edge to the Enfield, even though it really isn't by much.Edge: Gunther

Overall: I really don't need detailed x-factors to determine that Albert Mayer is the victor here. This comes from the fact that Albert is both the better trained and more experienced combatant here. I mean both men here lack a lot of experience, but Mayer's experience as a Calvary officer is inherently more valuable to combat than Gunther's as a supplies handler. Also relating to this, I presume that Mayer was the better trained man again due to their roles within the war. Being trained for a Calvary unit and being trained to manage supplies are two vastly different types of training and Mayer just simply has more combat applicable skills at his disposal.

Albert Mayer: 3000

Henry Gunther: 2000
