Tybaltcapulet's "NOTICE ME EA SENPAI" Edges:

Melee: Both of these knives should function around the same as the other. There are tiny differences in the sizes of these two, but it's really inconsequential. And as Wass has pointed out, within this battle which has 400,000 foot soldiers, you might as well consider them the same weapon. Edge:Even

Pistol: Easy edge for the M1911. When the Webley has a slower reload, smaller magazine and smaller range, a more powerful round isn't enough to tip the scale. I'll take the magazine-fed M1911 anyday. Edge: MacArthur

Rifle: I've got to side with the Lee Enfield as well. The Garand may have the faster action, but it has less ammo and way less range. And let's think about the type of battle this is. Monty and his army is on the defensive in relatively neutral geography. Having the superior range of the Lee Enfield will allow his men to pick off targets before they can even begin to fight back. And the slower action benefits this even more by allowing the user to take more time to aim their shot. The semi-auto function of the Garand is only great at shorter ranges, while the Lee Enfield dominates at all ranges. Edge:Montgomery

SMGs: The Lanchester is clearly the superior weapon here. It takes ROF,range and capacity with ease. The whole point of an SMG is to put out as much firepower as possible. The M3 is the alternate SMG to the Thompson, which really shows in its round, but it sacrifices a lot for somewhat increased accuracy. It actively messes with the intended role of what a SMG should be. Edge:Montgomery

Machine Guns: This is quite even, which makes a lot of sense in context. The M1919 is designed to be a lighter weapon, which can be moved around quickly around the battlefield. The Vickers is also great for its role, which  is to plop the weapon down, and put out sustained fire. Both of these weapons will have their moments to shine in the various stages of this battle, so I think it's pretty damn even.Edge: Even
