Elgb's "EMASCULATED! EVISCERATED!!!" EDGES!!!

CQC: The beavertail dagger has a fatter blade while the dirk has a slimmer and thinner one. No doubt the bearvertail would produce the nastier cut while the dirk's blade has the nastier stab especially in between those ribs. In the end, I had to give it to the dirk for its longer blade for range and some had a pommel to boot. It also works well when paired with a sword and a shield. EDGE: Jacobites

Short: Ah yes the Scottish Broadsword, famed for its ability to slash limbs and stab efficiently. It became the claymore of its time, and continued being so for quite a long time (Mad Jack Churchill's sword was known both as a Scottish boradsword and a claymore). In terms of melee fighting, the Scots have the better sword here. The tomahawk can be thrown but it ain't a francisca so its going to bounce harmlessly off a shield. And in that split second moment the Cree is unarmed, and the Scot can finish him off. EDGE: Highlander

Mid: Have to disagree with some, the lochabar is the more versatile weapon since its axe and a hook has more options and methods of attack for both on foot and cavalry enemies (and in some versions, has a longer tip for thrusting). But like what Kaz said that thing is too heavy and cumbersome to use against a fast moving Cree. Its versatility is rendered moot here since it has little options against the Native American. While the Spear also lacked options, its simple spear point can send faster thrusts and effortlessly keep the Highlander at bay. EDGE: Cree

Long: Ah yes the good ol pistol vs bow and arrow debate. Again this is a tough one. The pistol certainly has the power advantage and will go through whatever shield the Cree has. The bow and arrow though, while not having the pwoer to go through shields, still has the faster rate of fire and range, and can be damaging when it hits. In the end, i have to give it to the bow and arrow but only slightly. The Murdoch pistol, like any flintlock pistol, wasn't the most accurate weapon when used beyond close ranges. What's worse is that after every fire, a huge clioud of smoke will cover the Highlander's line of sight. The bow and arrow, if used from a distance as all long range weapon should be, is the better weapon here. EDGE: Cree

Long 2: The Brown Bess has the bigger round and that's all there is to it. The Hawken rifle is the better weapon here since its got 4 times the range and rifling for bette accuracy, and with some versions being percussion rifles, has the faster rate of fire too. Its only made worse since this is a small skirmish taking place in an open prairie with little to no cover from which a Hawken rifle is most devastating at. EDGE: Cree

Special: Sorry Kaz, but I was wrong. The one being used here is emphasized to be the ordinary gunstock war club, not the novelty spike that's installed in an actual musket stock. And in my opinion it is the inferior weapon here. It can do nasty puncture wounds with that big ol' spike, but that's just about it. A big spike has little surface area for attack and if it misses its game over. It can be easily dodged or parried with an actual sword. A claymore has the long blade that can lop off three heads. Adn while it is a big sword, I've seen some people on youtube swing it quickly and efficiently. Off course, its power comes when you actually put your weight into it, and when it hits, no buffalo shield is going to save you. EDGE: Highlander

Shield: LMAO. Targe wins since its thicker and mroe practical. EDGE: Highlander

X-Factors: Yeah the classic Native American hit and run tactics will prevail over the Highlander's knack for charging. While I do believe the Jacobites didn't just charged all the time and actually used some battle formations, those tactics are still useless in a 5 vs 5. In terms of experience, the Cree fought longer and against a veriety of conventional and uncovnetional opponents, but I am not sure. Most of the fights that the Jacobites have are against the British Empire and agaisnt themselves in alot of their Clan Wars. In the end, better tactics and military feats give the Cree for me the edge. EDGE: Cree

Deadliest Warrior?

I'm giving a tentative vote fot the Cree Okichikaw for now. While their melee weapons are weaker than the Jacobites, they make up for their sheer superiority of firearms. Like seriously, a bow and arrow and a rifle will do wonders against your enemies in a prairie, like sniping off a buffalo. The Jacobite's shield ain't going to do squat against a well placed sniper round.

Not only that, but the Cree has the better military history too. If you survive long enough in a war that spans from the flintlock age to the time of metallic cartridges and repeating rifles, against the world's superpowers to boot, the you're a clear badass. The Jacobites were tough and resilient, but their wars against the Brits and themselves are no match for what the Cree has accomplised.
