'''Deathblade's "Archers, LOOSE!" edges'''

Okay,

Long Range: Yeoman. Longbow takes this. It has more range is longer and is more accurate than the composite bow. Hell it has armour piercing tips on its arrows as opposed to the leaf shaped arrowheads the Persians used. Better range, arrow type and accuracy give this to the Yeoman.

Mid Range: Persian. No contest. A staff vs a spear? No contest. We saw something similar with the Maori vs Shaolin Taiaha vs Staff test. Blunt damage hurts but won't kill unless it hits the skull. A spear can kill and it has that lovely counterweight to stun you befor you get speared.

Close Range: Yeoman. The Bastard Sword is the longer, heavier weapon. While the Acinaces is lighter, the heavier blade of the Bastard Sword will leave deeper wounds and cause more damage.

Special: Persian. TBC
