MACHO MAN STAYPUFFED NINETYFIVE'S " 'DIS FIGHT GONNA GET MEDIEVAL" EDGES

CLOSE RANGE EDGE: Rus Sword - The Rus Sword is lighter and more nimble than the Longsword, therefore the user is less likely to br fatigued using the Rus Sword in comparison to the hulking Longsword, and it also allows the user to attack faster

MID RANGE EDGE: English Bill - The sinister "Billhook" has combat lethality written all over it. It can cause more damaging wounds than the Rogatina with its uniquely shaped blade head. It is also worthy to note that the Rogatina is also known as a "Bear Spear", and was used for hunting in Europe, and to aid in making sure whatever game it struck was killed, there was a small crosspeice that helped it stay in the hunted creature to insure a kill. This could get the Rogatina stuck in an opponent on the battlefield and may cause the user to become vulnerable for attack, which I find most dissatisfactory.

LONG RANGE EDGE: Rus Composite Bow - I believe that the bow is in many circumstances a better weapon than a crossbow. The typical Midieval Crossbow was a sort of "point-and-click" AK-47 of its day, as in it required little training and skill in comparison to composite bows of the day. The art of archery takes time, practice, and skill, so thats why the edge goes to the Rus Composite Bow.

SPECIAL WEAPON EDGE: English Battleaxe - The English Battleaxe is an absolute monster compared to the Klevits. Unlike the "Rus Sword VS. Longsword" comparison above, the massive size of the English Battleaxe easily garners the edge here.

SHEILD EDGE: Kite - I shouldnt really have to explain this, the kite provides a significantly larger surface area than the English Knight's Sheild.

ARMOR EDGE: Chainmail with Lamellar Plate - Far better protection than plain Chainmail with no significan changes in manuverability.

HELMET EDGE: Enclosed Crusader Helmet and Kettel Hat - The Kettel Hat provides similar protection to the Conical and Round helmets, but the Enclosed Crusader Helmet takes the cake here as it provides full protection of the of the head.

X-FACTORS: Alexander Yaroslavovich "Nevsky"  -  the tactics and intellegence part is what takes the cake here with Alexander's 90 to Richard's 68.

OVERALL EDGE: Alexander Yaroslavovich "Nevsky" - The overall better warrior here is Alexander. These two guys have comparable weapons, but Alexander's better defense and tactics coupled with the Rus Sword and Rus Composite Bow take this fight.
