Elgb's "Round Robin" EDGES!!!

ANCIENT

Long: This is a tough one. The longbow can only be used on foot, while the Recurve bow can be used on both on foot and horseback. But still, in terms of damage, the recurve bow would only do little against plate armor. The longbow, which in Henry's time were equipped with bodkins, can penetrate tough armor that the simple recruve bow can't. Another advantage that I'd like to say is that the bodkin arrows doubles the range of a simple longbow. It also allows the bowmen to use it as a sniper, giving him the ability to release the arrow in a straighter form, even in ranges where normal recurves have to be aimed in a trajectory to accomplish the same distance of the longbow. EDGE: Henry

Mid: The jida lance is an excelent weapon. Unlike the halberd, it can be used on horseback. But the halberd can also be used against horsemen. Not only that, but it's got a lot of options that a simple lance. EDGE: Henry

Short: The longsword easily. While the turko mongol saber has the more devastating slash attack, it won't do jack shit against plate armor. It's also limited in horseback and slashing maneuvers. While the longsword isn't as devastating, it was designed to be accurately pinpoint on unarmored parts. So a long weapon that can't kill armored men against a smaller weapon that can kill armored man... I gotta go with the latter. EDGE: Henry

Special: Lol the mace takes this. A dagger is a tootpick compared to that. EDGE: Khan

Armor: Plate armor own. While I respect that lamellar armor inspires modern day armor and is porbably more maneuverable, it's that good against lances or high-powered bows the plate armor was designed to repel. EDGE: Henry

X-Factors: In terms of training, Genghis Khan's been fighting for a longer time than Henry. However, in terms of tactics, Henry owns. Genghis may have fought his share of battles, but it was his generals who built his empire. Genghis sits out on these fights by the time he was already a Khan. Henry on the other hand, fought and bled withi his men. He can rally them up like a true leader, and his tactics are respected even to this day. EDGE: Henry

Deadliest Warrior?

Henry V and his band of brothers (or merry men... whatever you call em). I respect that Khan is a good strategist who has beaten other knights before (especially the Teutonics), Henry on the other hand has a more advanced weapons as well as more advanced tactics in this fight.

MODERN

Long: The HK G3 and AR-15 owns. They both stomp the Insas and Enfield in terms of range, rate of fire and power. I mean, what can a bolt action do against modern-day sniper rifles. One word... nothing. EDGE: IRA

Mid: Okay now I give this to the MP5. The flamethrower is an almost impractical weapon. The MP5 has a faster rate of fire, longer range, maneuverability and is by far safer. The IRA is dead if he tries to get close with taht thing against someone with an MP5. EDGE: Gurkha

Short: Damn, this is an easy win for the kukri. The slingshot maybe ranged but it can't kill that much. The kukri has a blade that can end an IRA with one swipe. EDGE: Gurkha

Explosive: While I do like the nail gun, the M67 is a frag grenade that is easier to hand and easier to project. Not to mention less faulty. EDGE: Gurkha

X-Factors: Everything I have to give to the Gurkha. Training, logistics, experience, tactics, physality, everyhthing he takes. The only edge the IRA has is his extremism. EDGE: Gurkha

Deadliest Warrior?

While the Gurkha doesn't win much on th rifles, he does take everything else. His weapons are more balanced and more practical, and he's better trained and experienced that these simple terrorists.
