Edge

Long Range: Tie Nither is really ideal, the Cross bow may get one or two shots off before it needs to be thrown aside, the Chakram will be able to get many more chances to strike, but they are less likely to actully land and killing, crippeling or any severe injury on contact, the cross bow will hit with more force and likely to casue injury or even kill, but will only have at most three chances to do so. So it kinda comes to down to quailty vs quantity, so it's sort of a wash.

Mid:Halberd The Aara will not get many, if any kills on it's own. While not easuly seen, the Landsknecht are almost completly covered in plate, with only small opening's with the chance to actully strike at. The Halberd can penetrate the Rajput's armor will out any great deal of difficulty. The Aara is also a much more complicated weapon to work, given more chance for slip ups, even in the hand of an expert, the simple fact that it is more complicated gives it more opertuninty to have something go wrong. Add to the fact this battle is set in a forest, and the wide motion required to use the Aara will be hindered to at least some degree, depending on specific's of terrain.

Close range: Broadsword: The Broad sword is less relient on a specfic form of motion to work, the Broad sword is a more versitile weapon and needs less energy to use and doesn't need to build up momentum and keep it function.

Special:Katar The Parade sword is simply to large and heavy for a typical great sword to be as affective as the Katar, which is much quicker and is very useful in parrying and defence. The Parade sword is a decent weapon, and can be useful, but it falls short to the Katar in overal comparison.

X-factor: Even, as mentioned they are virtully even on average.

Overall:Landsknecht A close match, but edges in close and mid range win the battle for the Landsknecht.
