Moa's Edges of...well...yeah:

Long Range: Two Composite Bows. I agree with LB on this one, except to a higher degree. There's an archer unit in the Persian military, completely distinguished from Immortals. I am not saying that Immortals would not be decent with a bow, I am simply stating that it is not their weapon of choice and not the weapon they would have the most experience with. I think the Trojans would be more competent and capable with their bows.

Edge: Hector of Troy

Mid Range: Javelin vs. Persian Spear. While the range of the javelin may seem like an advantage at first, it is completely negated by other drawbacks. It is a one-use weapon with no advantages at a closer distance over the Persian Spear.

Edge: Xerxes I

Short Range: Kopis vs. Acinaces. Acinaces may be more versatile but it has a length deficit of a foot, which is fairly significant. The Kopis may appear less versatile, but its length advantage will make it a more dangerous weapon in this fight.

Edge: Hector of Troy

Special: Labrys Axe vs. Sagaris. Sagaris, easy. The Sagaris is versatile, lighter and far more practical. Just take a look at the Labrys Axe. That thing looks about as practical as Ivan and his Streltsy's Bardiche on DW Season 3. It'll tire you out after a few swings but the Labyrs won't even have the damage that the Bardiche boasted.

Edge: Xerxes I

Armor: Bronze Cuirass vs. Scales. The Cuirass wins here for obvious reasons. The scales won't be nearly as durable as the Trojan armor.

Edge: Hector of Troy

Overall Winner: Hector of Troy

Hector and his Champions bring superior armor, close range and long range weaponry to the table and, as Elgb stated, Hector can actually lead. Hector's far more combat competent than Xerxes I and Hector's leadership will show that. Close battle but Hector pulls ahead.
