Pygmy Hippo's "No Alabarda?" Edges

Short Range:I'm actually going to give this to the Espada Ropera. The Uchigatana is a great weapon but it's shorter and heavier. Add in that the Ropera can actually slash unlike a rapier and it's a clear victory. Edge:Hernan

Mid Range:The Yari is longer and lighter but the Halberd has more versatility. I'd say that the options of the Halberd enable it to overcome the ridiculously long spear. Edge:Hernan

Long Range:As you said, the Tanegashima is designed to be a better Arquebus. Edge:Oda

Special Weapon:The 24-pounder Long Gun is lighter but the Taihou has more destructive rounds. Edge:Tie

Armor:The Tosei Gusoku and Kusari protects the head as well as the torso. The Cuirass only protects the torso. Edge:Oda

Boat:The Tekkousen's armor and rockets will anhilate the Galleon in combat. Edge:Oda

X-Factors:Oda has Straregy and Experience while Hernan has Adaptability. They're tied in Charisma. Edge:Oda

Final Verdict:It looks like your ancestor is winning this fight. While Hernan Cortez is better at melee combat and adapting to situations, he's just outclassed by the superior ranged technology of Oda Nobunaga. Add in his superior tactics and experience and it's an ironic end for the Conquistador, done in by the same thing that he used to destroy the Aztec Empire, advanced technology.

Winner:Oda Nobunaga
