Deathblade's "Arabia vs Russia" edges:

Ok, we now have a WWI/ Russian Revolution fight to the death. Let's get started shall we?

Long Range: Bedouin Tribes. The SMLE has a larger magazine capacity than the Mosin Nagant. The Mosin may be more rugged and has less recoil than the SMLE, but a five round magazine vs a ten round magazine? I'd choose the rifle with more ammunition, which is the Short Magazine Lee Enfield rifle.

Mid Range: Bolshevik Party. The Nagant M1895 has one extra bullet than the Webley VI, which means with the Webley you can only miss once. While with the Nagant, you could miss twice and still have five rounds to fire. In an ammunition comparison, the Webley does have a larger round but, you'd want the gun with more ammo.

Melee: Bedouin Tribes. The Spike Bayonet may have length but you can only kill with a thrust. With the Jambiya, you can slash and you can thrust and both times you could kill somebody. Additionally, the bayonet look a lot better on the barrel of a rifle rather than in someone's hands.

Special: Bolshevik Party. A bolt action rifle vs a breach action rifle? The bolt action rifle really means you can reload it a lot faster than a breach loader. Additionally, the Berdan rifle, Mosin Nagant and Nagant M1895 all fire the same round; so you're not lugging all this different ammunition.

X-factors: Bedouin Tribes. The Bedouins just have five more X-factor points, not much to boast about but hey it's slightly more than the Bolsheviks. Although like I said earlier, the Bolshevik's firearms fire the same round, so you really don't have to carry different ammunition around with you.

Winner: Bedouin Tribes. More X-factors, better Long Range weapon and Melee weapons swing this match in the Bedouins favour. The result: five dead Bolsheviks and one (possibly more) victorious Bedouin left on the field. Not to mention the Bedouins have the familiar terrain so they can understand the best strategic locations.
