Undead RVD's "(Insert something Russian)" Edges:

Close Range: The Longsword has the greater reach and power but the Rus sword has the greater speed and better when held one-handed. I say even. Reach and Power vs Speed and Efficiency.
 * EDGE: Even

Mid Range: Both weapons are relatively even in speed, slow as hell, and can be effective against horseback warriors (Rogatina against the horse, the bill against the rider) but the Rogatina likely can be used on horseback better than the English bill. For that, between two warriors that fight on horseback, the ability to use a weapon on horseback wins.
 * EDGE: Alexander

Long Range: I am going with the composite bow. I doesn't have the power or effective range but it is more reliable, vastly faster and can be used on horseback. Again, both sides are horseback fighters so the weapon that can be used on horseback wins.
 * EDGE: Alexander

Special: The Battle Axe is powerful as hell but using it one handed or on horseback is ineffective. The Klevets faster and can be used on foot with a shield and on horseback.
 * EDGE: Alexander

Armor: This one is easy. While it is heavier, Alexander's chainmail/lamallar combo will provide more protection in the long run. The Conical helmet with balaclava may not be as powerful as the enclosed helmet but it will not impair vision as badly. As for the shields, the Kite Shield may be heavier but it provides greater protection. The shields even out more but the rest of the armor goes to Alexander.
 * EDGE: Alexander

X-Factors: One would think that Richard's victory in training and physicality would be the most important but really, Richard loses out allot more. Alexander's training is more versatile, he is more Disciplined and his tactics are WAY better. However, the real thing that gives Alexander the win is that Richard is allot like some warriors he defeated: the Livonian knights. Richard uses similar weapons armor and tactics as the Livonian knights and Alexander will counteract perfectly.
 * EDGE: Alexander

Overall: I am going with Alexander in this fights. His weapons are more effective on horseback, he has the superior armor and his tactics are WAY better. He will win out in this.
