Slayer's Supporting Statement

Short Range: If we forget about the Spartan shield, Reyes would have this one. The Tomahawk can be hurled, but it's killing potential on his armor is rather limited. The weapons alone give Reyes' an edge, but when LM combines his dagger with the Hoplon, it'll go straight back to him.

Edge: Reyes Rebeles

Medium Range: Again, forgetting about the hoplon, we have a katana w/ Pilum javelin vs. a halberd. Like Reyes said, two weapons are deadliesr than one, despite the Halberd's versatility. However, pairing the Hoplon with the Pilum will be extremely effective, since a katana is not near as effective weilded with one hand.

Edge: Lasmoore

Long Range: The Repeatign crossbow has that huge fire rate, and he can crouch under the shield and use it for cover... but it's not going to do much with it's limited accuracy, and low penetrating power. The Composite bow is much more accurate and practical.

Edge; Reyes rebels

Special Weapons: Sure the Grenado does more damage in general, but not only is it not fully reliable, Lasmoore can play tennis with the thing, and just hit it back towards Reyes with the Hoplon. The hoplon is simple, and very effective.

Edge: Lasmoore

Armies: A double phalanx of Roman Legion and Spartans vs. heavy armored Teutonic knights, and conquistadores is very difficult, but I'm givign it to Las, for the Huns and English crossbowmen added in to add even more arrows flying to the fray, and because Reyes' leadership is very low, due to some of his own men wanting him dead.

Edge: Lasmoore

Overall: Las barely scrapes through, because the army of Reyes' is strong enough to carry him, but Las's better training, leadership, and battlefield experience is just too much. Final score 521-479
