Edges

Short Range: I have to go with the Jaguars on this one for a number of reasons: First, The War Hawk while light and fast will do jack against the Aztecs Helmet and Cotton Armour, Secondly the War Hawk only has a small area which you can kill with (the head) while the Maquahuitl has basically the whole weapon and thirdly the Maquahuitl, while slow and heavy will do tremendous damage with each hit, it is basically a one hit, one kill weapon, Fourthly the Maquahuitl's edge...obsidian chainsaw, nuff said.

Edge: Aztec

Mid-Range: The Tepoztopilli while a nasty-looking weapon loses this match because it looks like it wouldn't have a lot of penetration power even though it would have decent slashing power due to its edge. The War Lance has both slashing and piercing capabilities and it also has that extra reach with that nice long spear-head.

Edge: Comanche

Long Range: Both weapons have their pros and cons: The Atlatl & Tlacochtli, while having a nice long range and a crap tonne of penetration power is a very inaccurate weapon with very limited ammunition. While the Bow & Arrow has range, accuracy, ammunition and speed but low penetration as each arrow will be stopped in its tracks by the Aztecs Quilted Cotton Tunic and Animal-Hide Shield. So I think this is really too close to call.

Edge: Draw

Special Weapon: We are basically comparing a knife used for cutting out hearts against a knife used for shaving heads. So...while the Tecpatl will dull quickly due to its obsidian blade I think it gets the edge as it was actually used for killing (albeit in the temple for sacrifice mostly) and has an extra three inches to it. And agian there is the matter of armour, if the Aztec's cotton armour can stop an arrow then it can easily stop a little razor-blade.

Edge: Aztec

Armour: Do I even need to say anything...? Armour vs. no armour...do the math.

Edge: Aztec

Overall, the mighty Aztecs have this in the bag. They are trained and experienced warriors and are masters of dismounted guerilla combat. The Comanches are horsemen first and foremost, which is why I think this is a tad unfair as we are comparing a warrior who is in his element against a warrior who is out of his element. That being said though, if the Comanche was on horseback then unless the Aztec had plenty of forest & jungle to hide in it would be a no-brainer. And I know I harp on & on about armour but there is no escaping it, the Comanche only has one weapon (the War Lance) that can penetrate the Aztec's armour to kill him while all of the Jaguar's weapons will do maximum damage as the Comanche has nothing to protect himself from harm

WINNER: AZTEC JAGUAR WARRIOR!!!
