 * Melee: I'll go with the kopis for this one, as it is quicker to strike with and had a cutting edge instead of relying on blunt force. Edge Alex
 * Spears: The Xyston is longer and probably made of iron, rather than Gil's spear which is made of bronze. Edge Alex
 * Ranged: You can fire a Gastrophetes a lot farther than you can throw a javelin, and it hits with more force, Edge Alex
 * Special: Alexander's skill in Pankration could probably find a way to deal with the net, assuming he can't slash his way out with a sword, Edge Alex.
 * Heavy: A ballista bolt will pierce right through the side of the chariot and probably skewer both the driver and the chariot archer, Edge Alex.
 * Armor: Bronze can stand up to more damage than leather, edge Alex
 * Overall: This match, more than anything, shows that even in ancient warfare, technology makes all the difference. Alexander's newer weapons and armor simply outclass anything Gilgamesh can bring to the battle.
