 * Longswords: The Zweihander takes this for longer length and heavier blade, but no by that large a margin, the katana is lethal, well-made weapon is extremely sharp. Edge: Landsknecht
 * Shortswords: The Wakizashi is sharper and better made, not to mention having a very sharp edge for slashing. Edge: Samurai
 * Spears: The yari has a long blade for slashing, as well as stabbing and can be more useful in a one-on-one fight, though it can also be used in formation, where as the pike is intended mostly with formation fighting in mind. Edge: Samurai
 * Firearms: The Tanegashima has a front sight, giving a second reference point for aiming. Better aim results in greater accuracy in a contest of two otherwise similar weapons. Edge: Samurai
 * Armor: The munition armor of the Landsknecht appears to have greater coverage of the limbs. Edge: Landsknecht.
 * X-Factors: The Samurai will take the training X-factor and the probably tactics as well. On the other hand, the Landsknecht will probably take physical strength for their larger build.
 * Overall Winner: This will be a very close match, however the Samurai will just pull through with about 2600 kills to the Landsknechts 2400. Winner: Samurai
