MilenHD"The Invasion is coming!!!"edges

Close:Edge Even:Both swords are too similar,It's impossible to chose which is better,the longsword can pierce William's chainmail,while the broadsword is lighter and can be used a a blunt weapon against plate armor,so this is why I called it even.

Mid:Edge Henry V:The composite crossbow is innaccurate and weak against plate,the longbow will have no problem against chainmail.Throw in the bag that the longbow is more powerful,have more range,it's more accurate and the bodkin arrows will make even more damage.Also in the Battle of Agincourt Henry used english Logbowmen,who destroyed the french knights and crossbowmens.

Long:Edge William:This is a close one,but I have to go with the torsion catapult.Both aren't very useful in small skirmishes like this. The trebuchet is scary,but catapult requires less energy and men to be used in siege combat.Don't forget that the torsion catapult can be used biological warfare.

Armor:Edge Henry V:This is easy win for the plate armor and heater shield.The plate armor protects you from almost anything,while the chainmail only protects you from slashing attacks and the heater shield is lighter and more durable than the kite shield.

Tactics:William:Both are great military tacticians,but William gets slight edge because he ended the Anglo-Saxon rule in England.William was ableto inflict significant casualties on the pursuing English forces. With their ranks thinned out and their shield wall reduced in effectiveness, William ordered his archers to fire on the rear of the Anglo-Saxon army which succeeded in inflicting further casualties and mortally wounding king Harold Godwinson, clinching the victory for the Norms.On the other hand Henry won the battle of Agincourt because the heavy armored French knight was getting stucked into mud,so Henry was smart too,but he won because he was lucky.

Winner:Henry V:I really want William to win,but his weapons and armor are outdated compared to Henry weapons and armor.If you have better weapons and armour you will win,and Henry has it.
