HAN SOLO 69'S "KEEP THEM DOGGIES ROLLING" BATTLE PREDICTIONS

MELEE: NWMP

The Cavalry saber is a better horseback weapon. It's long and curved, plus the word "cavalry" is even in the name! The Bowie, though effective on foot, is not a good horseback weapon.

SHORT: Rangers

The Enfield revolver is almost as crappy as the Webley. Though it is the more modern revolver, the dual .44 are reliable, accurate, and pack a punch. Plus there are TWO of them for maxium damage. No contest

MEDIUM: Rangers

It's 1 shot against two shots. Even though the Snider has the better range, the Coach Gun has the powerful 12 gauge and can be reloaded faster. Side note: Ash Williams "Boomstick" was really a coach gun.

LONG: Rangers

I want to say the Lee Enfield, I really do. However, the SMLE is not good on horseback and holds only 10 rounds. The Winchester is lever action, making it great for horseback combat, plus it holds 15 rounds. I'm going with The Gun That Won The West.

SPECIAL: Rangers

The Martini Henry has got to be the absolute WORST rifle God ever put on this earth. The Sharps is more reliable, accurate (one of the West's greatest sniper shots was made with a Sharps) and legend has it that this rifle is the orgin of the term "sharpshooter".

TACTICS: Rangers

No contest. The Rangers used better thinking at Palo Alto then the NWMP. Plus, Loon Lake was their only victory. One victory? In an entire war? Who are you, Tampa Bay? (sports humor:) ).

WINNER: Texas Rangers

The Rangers are better in everything. Weapons, tactics, you name it. And about the X-Factors? In my book, experince dictates training any day. The winner is the Texas Rangers.

P.S. the Boomstick refrence was a not-so-subtle hint for my Season 2 (wink, wink).
