short range being able to attack faster is the advantage you want edge : Mamluke sword. medium range the hussars lances where made long to out range a pike to save on weight they hollowed its center "they were not designed to brake" tho being hollow it was inevitable. in a head on charge at eachother winged hussars win hands down but the mamlukes are from the east and have nearly made a sport of shooting down heavely armored crusaders with lances while the mamluke lances are more relible. edge :even                                                                              long range the mamluke bows win without contest the polish crossbow is just to slow and unwieldly and there is no evidence showing they ever used crossbows. edge mamlukes. and                                                                                                                                                    note in this skrimish the hussars are probably scouting and would have left there wings behind to save for a pitched battle and for weight.
