119's "What is the capital of Assyria!?" Edges


 * Melee: The greater size of the Rephaim weapons, combined with their great size and strength would win a melee fight, but honestly, I think this edge will be the least important- chariots fight mostly at long range. Edge: Rephaim


 * Mid Range: While the Rephaim spear is longer, that is unlikely to matter considering the speed, and thus increased force of the of chariot. Edge: Chariot


 * Long Range: The Composite bow has proved to for thousands of years to be a devastating weapon, proving a potent combination of lethality and mobility until the advent of firearms.


 * Special: The specials can really be more described as X-factors in this case, either way, the far superior speed of the chariots trumps the sheer size of the Rephaim. Not to mention a giant makes a much larger target for an archer or javelin thrower than a normally-sized person. This, along with the superior tactics of the Assyrians, give them the edge.

Overall Winner: Assyrian Wild Ass Chariots.
