SPARTAN 119's "Riding the Same Direction as Featherston on a Different Horse"* Edges


 * Note: the title is a reference to once character in Turtledove's novels who described Hitler in this manner.


 * Handguns: The Confederate .45 fires a larger round, allowing it to be do more damage on impact. Edge: Jake Featherston


 * SMGs: The Tredegar has a large mag, presumably fires large .45 rounds, while the MP18 fires smaller rounds and is thus less powerful. Edge: Featherston


 * Rifles: The K98K has a scope and a longer range, but the Tredegar has a longer range and can fire semi or full auto. Edge: Even


 * Explosives: The Stovepipe rocket can be moved around and fired at a target at a range, while the Bouncing Betty can kill only kill if stepped on. Edge: Featherston


 * Special Weapons: I will go against the grain and say that Featherston's French 75 will be more effective as it has a longer range, and could wipe out Hitler's entire squad in one shot.


 * X-Factors: While Hitler was a runner in WWI, Featherston was an artilleryman. While neither were trained for direct combat, only getting basic combat training, they both saw some combat, but Featherston saw more, and is in better physical condition because of Hitler's injure. Not to mention, Featherston is in (at least slightly) better psychological condition than Hitler.


 * Overall Winner: While the Freedom Party Guard was defeated by the Wehrmacht in my battle, in my opinion, this battle will have the opposite result, with Featherston triumphing over Hitler. This is because Hitler and Featherston is armed with their early WWII, in which Featherston was more advanced (by late in the war, the Nazis has surpassed Turtledove's Confederates with technologies such as jet engines and true assault rifles). Also, while in my fight, the Wehrmacht had a competent soldier commanding the sqaud, Hitler's insanity and less experience makes him less capable of leading. Overall Winner: JAKE FEATHERSTON
