User blog comment:Sergei Alexi Borichinov/Space War! - UNSC Marines vs. Imperial Guards!/@comment-14249692-20130808130600

I apologize if I was being a littel blunt I will explain myself

Melee: The fact that your your using a chain sword vs is knife is clearly unbalanced since the majority of all chain swords are either used by the imperial guard officers and space marines. So really you can't give that advantage to the imperial guard on the basis of that fact

Close Range: The same reasoning a my previous since the majority of all imperial guard only either use a trench knife or a bayonet. Now if you said an imperial guard officer (Which I think you just talking about a regular soldier) it would be different

IG 0 UNSC 0

Medium Range: Again your basing off the fact that the majority of these guards are the more famous one such as the cadians, the death korps or the Steel legions of Armagedon. I'm sure these are the better trained of the imperial guard. A geat deal of the Imperial Guard (not saying all of them) are just given some of rudimentry training before their planet sends them off. You also cannot forget the low morale of many of these guard units. So if it were IG units like the Cadians or the Steel Legion I could agree with you but at the same time it just a basic IG at random your choosing from unless your going on specialty

IG 0 UNSC 0

Long Range: Weapon So in this category I would give it to the imperial Guard since the Long Las has many features that give it a good appeal such as shorter barrel, easily hidden (Although IDK how much damage it will do). The Sniper Rifle in Halo is good However in terms of size it way to big to be concealed in anyway.

IG 1 UNSC 0

Explosives: Considering what I've read so far I would have to give this to the UNSC. I know what your thinking like (WTF EXPLAIN). On the basis that also both type of explosives are powerful UNSC Marines have the option of a greater range in terms of remote detonation with the IG the standard Demolition Stachel reqiuires you to be within a relatively short range. Also the UNSC I'm pretty sure how a much bigger aresnal so far I've seen in terms of varieties.

!G 1 UNSC 1

Armor: I have to give this to the Imperial Guard on the Same reasoning that I gave the UNSC explosives. The IG have too many varieties for tanks which give them flexibility to change tactical assignments (However the reluctance of some commanders to risk more valuable tanks is frankly idiotic in my opinion if it can assure them victory)

IG 2 UNSC 1

Dealist Warrior: This is an Imperial Guard win but not by much. This is more due to the fact that the IG crushes the UNSC in the armor category. I hope I explained myself more unbiasly. Please tell me if you think anything is wrong and I will explain
