Tybaltcapulet's " Let's unify some lands" Edges":

Short Range: I gotta agree with Laqy and give this an even here. Both can slash,thrust and their metallurgy isn't  that far off of each other. Both weapons ARE battlefield weapons (even if the Espada Ropera wasn't originally designed to be) and are made for different purposes. The Kilij was more intended for slashing obivously with its curved blade, but lacks the stabbing capability of the Espada Ropera. And vice versa would apply to the Ropera so... Edge: Even

Medium Range: They may have the same basic shape but since Cortes gets 2ft onto Michael's halberd and still has all of the other parts of a halberd-like weapon that make it so effective.Edge: Cortes

Long Range: Same thing Edge: Even

Armor: same thing Edge: Even

Overall: As this is not a full scale battle Michael the Brave's abilities in my opinion will fail him here, giving Hernán Cortés the win here. Michael the Brave is no doubt a great commander, but really is more of a grand strategy type of man rather than Cortés who is much more suited for a small engagement like this. Kanzanshin is correct in pointing out that Cortés is less used to fighting men of his own caliber, but again, Michael won't have the time to take advantage of that as this is a skirmish, and not a battle. And he does have experience with figthing against men of his own technology level, so with a battle like this, Cortés is nowhere near clueless on how to deal with European enemies. If this was a full-scale battle, Michael would surely crush him with ease but here, I don't see it happening. Winner: Hernán Cortés

Hernán Cortés: 2750

Michael the Brave: 2250
