Short Range: The War Hammer vs the Scimitar? Now the scimitar is a bit longer than the war hammer, and is also wider. Which will help with blocking. This will help in weapon effectiveness. The war hammer does concentrate all it's force in one spot, however lacerations from the scimitar will be more effective.

EDGE-Ganzorig

Mid Range: On the one hand, the guan dao has a range advantage on the zweihander. As well as being a bit faster. However, the zweihander was made to go against these types of weapons. The longer blade will also factor into the edge here. As opposed to the smaller one on the end of the guan dao.

Edge-Bauer

Long Range: The crossbow will be more of a liability in this arena. The crossbow will be slower to reload, which will leave the user as a target. The composite bow will be easier to reload and get off more shots with.

Edge- Ganzorig

Special: The katzbalger seems easier to use and a quicker weapon. However, the mace will be a more effective weapon. For one, it can smash armor and whatever is underneath it. The mace is also a longer weapon which will give Ganzorig a bigger sweep with his weapon.

Edge-Ganzorig

Armor: Bauer's armor is not only newer, but also made of superior materials. Steel being a better building material than iron/leather. Ganzorig's blows will be better deflected, as well as allowing Bauer to be more mobile.

Edge-Bauer

Winner: Ganzorig. He has the superior weapons for the setting they are in. Now the armor edge for Bauer may be a bit of a concern. However, with his weapons, Ganzorig may be able to break in.
