This is my first Ancient match, hopefully I can do well here, too.

"The Rohirrim! Cavalry unit of Rohan, who drove off the Uruk-Hai, and defeated them at Isengard, and Helm's Deep!  The Greil Mercenaries!  A brigade from Tellius, who aided Crimea in defeating Daein durign the Mad King's War, and defeated the Bengion army, along with the Laguz Alliance!  Who? Is? DEADLIEST!!!  Our team of experts will decide who is... the deadliest warrior!"

Analysis...


These are merely my opinions, they will not count as part of my battle.



Short Range: The standard Rohirrim longsword is a lethal blade made of steel, which is three foot long, and razor sharp, whcih is easily able to lop off arms. While the Ragnell, is Ike's personal sword, that is made of a mysterious metal, that also will even harm the soul of anyone attacking the weilder with a swing in the general direction. (i.e. it does damage against indirect attacks with a vertical swing.)  This unusual property gives the edge to the Greil Mercenaries.





Mid Range: The Spontoon Spear and the Steel Poleax are both equal 6 foot polearm weapons, and can both easily damage armor, however, teh main factor is both of these warriors are cavalry units, as well. And anyone who knows how to ride a horse (myself, included), knows that usign an axe on horseback is a lot more dificult than a spear. The edge goes to teh more horse friendly weapon, so Edge: Rohirrim.





Long Range: The Steel Bow is one of the more vicious Crimean archery tools, as it can pick off foes from over 300 feet away. It's metal desing makes certain that it will last, however, the Rohirrim fire back with the English Longbow, which could knock a knight off his horse from over a half mile away. It is one of history's most vicious bows, and could only be matched in force when flintlock muskets were invented. The edge goes to the Rohirrim in long range.





Special Weapons: The Rohirrim are avid hunters, across the plains of Rohan, and ranchers as well, so they are experts with the lasso. It was used to disarm opponents, or they could snare an opponent, preferably by teh neck, and disloacte, or break it,a dn drag teh body on teh ground. However, the Greil Mercenaries have members, who studied tomes, and teh msot prefered on the battlefield was ElThunder. ElThunder would cause a lightning bolt to fall from the sky and electrocute foes, or spook the horses, causing them to knock off their riders, for an easy kill. Due to the more likely lethality, the edge in special weapons goes to the Greil Mercenaries.

Final Fight...
This fight will happen on December the 10th.
