GT25's Edges

Close Range (Migration Period Sword vs. Spatha): To be honest, these two blades are basically the same thing. Both have blades made of iron, are two pounds, and are three feet long. So, as it would coming down to the smallest differences, I'll be calling this a draw. Edge: Draw

Medium Range (Boar Spear vs. Framea): While the Framea is lighter and can be thrown as a javelin, the Boar Spear is longer and can (from what I can tell) be thrown as well. However, I'll side with the Boar Spear on this one as its length would allow it to be better at keeping a foe at a distance. Even if the Framea is thrown, it could still be avoided so it might end up missing. Edge: Alaric I

Long Range (Francisca Axe vs. Javelin): Both weapons can be thrown, but I will side with the axe on this one. The axe is lighter than the javelin and can be used as a melee weapon better due to its size. While the Javelin could keep someone at a distance, the axe can be thrown to close that distance without getting close. Edge: Alaric I

Special Weapons (Long Seax vs. Fire Hardened Club): Okay, this is kind of easy to decide. While the Club can be used to bash a person's head in...the Seax can cut through a person and it would be capable of disabling someone immediately. Edge: Alaric I

X-Factors: To start this section, it's Alaric I's 86.25 to Arminius' 87. While Arminius is slightly more intimidating, Alaric I is more brutal while Arminius is the better tactician. However, their averages are so close while their armor (from what I can tell based on your description) is essentially the same. So, it really comes down to whether Arminius' tactical mind is enough to overcome the brutality that Alaric I can perform. As he is more tactical his average is just slightly higher, I'll give Arminius a slight edge. Edge: Arminius

Overall: To be honest, this is probably the hardest verdict I've had to call. Mostly because I'm not sure if I'm right or if there's something I'm missing with this match. Arminius has a slight edge in X-Factors, but Alaric I basically dominates when it comes to their weapons. So, while I think Arminius is the better tactician, I'll have to side with Alaric I as his weapons are superior and Arminius' X-Factors can only go so far when both warriors are so close in that category. Considering that this is a one-on-one match, I personally think that this gives Alaric I an advantage as the Migration Period Sword, Francisca Axe, and Long Seax would allow him to rip Arminius apart in melee while keeping him back with said axe and the Boar Spear. Again, I might be wrong about this, but that's how I'm seeing things for this match up.
