User blog:BattleGames1/Deadliest Warrior Battle 1 (Redux) - Knights Templar vs Sipahis

Note: Since my first idea has already been covered, here is an original match-up that I think you will like

The Knights Templar: the chivalrous protectors of Christianity who fought valiantly during the Crusades...

vs.

The Sipahis: the Ottoman Empire's most valuable and most vicious cavalry unit...

'Who... is... DEADLIEST?'



Weapons
The Knights Templar strike hard with:

Edges
Note: These edges I give are my own personal opinion; you can give your edges in the comments

Short Range: Well since the kilij has proven to be a good rival to the katana and a katana managed to be better than a longsword so logic states... EDGE: Kilij Medium Range: The bozdogan mace has a head made of iron which is useful when you attack someone but carrying it into combat is going to be hard unlike the flail EDGE: Flail

Long Range: While the poleaxe is a very powerful weapon in the hands of the Knights, the Turkish bow can reach a far greater distance (provided that the man behind it is accurate enough, that is) EDGE: Turkish bow

Special: For effective 'slash-and-dash' kills, the Scimitar is an excellent choice; but for thrusting and stabbing, nothing beats the Teber axe EDGE: Even
