User blog comment:Deathblade 100/World War II Strategists: Friedrich Paulus vs Bernard Montgomery/@comment-17814994-20150706105955

Elgb's "Western vs Eastern Front, still Hitler is F*cked" EDGES!!!

Rifles: This is a sweeping win for old Bernard with his Enfield. It was designed to be the better and more compact British version of the Kar. Not to mention that it's got more rounds and a terrifically faster rate of fire. EDGE: Montgomery

SMG: I'll have to disagree with El Alamein with this one. It's not justifiable to say that the Brits used simple materials to build their sten, they just practically used the cheaper and inferior materials to built it. Heck, I've even heard accounts that some sten were made from tin cans. Nonetheless, there were wide reports of that gun breaking down during intense gunfight due to its cheap manufacturing. The MP-28 maybe heavier, but it's actually the safer gun to use without having to worry of faulty designs, as well as having the faster rate of fire. EDGE: Paulus

Pistols: The Webley is a grea revolver, but still isn't comparable with the C96's large ammo count, fast raate of fire, and ability to fire automatically. There's also the fact that it can be reloaded via box magazines. EDGE: Paulus

Special: The Flammenwerfer may look the more intimidating weapon, but it's not designed for small-squadron fights. It was meant to support large forces of infantry to blow down enemy covers, tunnels, buildings and machine gun nests, not a small group of fast moving individuals. The Mills is more pactical and less dangerous to use. EDGE: Montgomery

Deadliest Warrior: Bernard Montgomery

To be honest, my reception of good ol' Berny is neutral at best. I seriously praise him for his brilliance in North Africa but utterly condemn him for his stupidity in Market Garden. But still, the good stuff outweighs the bad, and in this battle, I believe that Montgomery's experience in kicking major German ass will give him the victory against Paulus. Even though he's got two automatic weapons at his disposal, if one thing we should learn about Stalingrad, German technological might is no match if plagued by inconsistent battlefield fails. And the German general had more epic fails in his career and is nowhere as cunning as that of the Anti-Desert Fox himself.
