User blog comment:BattleGames1/Deadliest Warrior Battle 4 (redux) - Landsknecht vs Streltsy/@comment-4603122-20130530055056

1. In the description of weapons landsknecht second picture - it spontoon, not infantry pike. Although in my opinion in battle of of small groups halberd will be better choice.

2. Thundrtri's picture - it's armor of Reiter's or very rich mercenary officer, but not for ordinary landsknecht.

3.  Wheres  description of the armor and the X-factor? But to  be fair -  streltsy barely used armor, except for helmets.

4.  Katzbalger  was shorter, heavier,  and usually use for slashing, no for thrusting. Katzbalger - 70-85 cm, 1-2 kg. S abre had a length of 90-100 cm and a weight of a little less than one kilogram.

I know that I am late in writing :)

Landksnehty definitely win in close combat due, by the armor and two-handed sword. But in the long range streltsy have better weapons and more experience as marksmen. So the key point - the medium distance. And I think so: with a halberd - vmercenaries would have a good advantage in victory, but with the spear - the chances are roughly equal.
