119's Edges
 * Swords: The Falcata and Kopis are both short slashing swords. Even
 * Spears: I thought Alexander used both the Sarissa and the Xyston, the Xyston for cavalry and the Sarissa for infantry, but, anyway, I'll go with the Hannibal's Sarissa for its greater length.
 * Long Range: You can fire a Gastrophetes a lot further than you can throw a soliferum, Edge Alexander's Gastrophetes
 * Special: The Dagger is easier to kill with than you bare hands, even if you are trained in pankration.
 * Heavy: Alexander's Ballista has enough firepower to bring down an elephant with a well-aimed shot. Also, while elephants may seem like ancient tanks, unlike a tank, an elephant has a mind of its own. If an elephant is wounded, it may go berserk and trample their own troops, as Alexander proved at the Battle of the Hydapses. Edge: Alexander's ballista
 * Armor: Edge Hannibal for the shield.


 * Overall: At least with this weapon set, Alexander is better armed. Also, Hannibal was defeated, Alexander never lost a battle. His empire only fell apart with his death.
