119's "There Can Only Be One!" Edges.


 * The Khanda is a powerful slashing weapon, but it lacks a point for thrusting, making it less versatile than the Scottish Broadsword. Edge: Highlander


 * The Tabar has multiple hooks and spikes, and has a longer shaft, up to seven feet. Edge: Rajput


 * Ranged: In reality, the balls and chains were usually swung as melee weapons, rather than thrown, giving the chakram the edge. However, if the Highlander is wearing chainmail and a helmet, the areas where a chakram can score a fatal strike will be greatly reduced. Therefore this will probably come down to melee weapons Edge: Rajput.


 * Blunt: The Warhammer takes this edge as it has an armor-piercing spike as well as a blunt head, making it more versatile than the Gurj. Edge: Highlander


 * Dagger: While the Katar is a deadly weapon at close range, it will not be effective as the combination of dirk and targe, which allow the user to both block and attack, and the targe spike allows the shield to be a deadly weapon in its own right. Edge: Highlander


 * X-Factors: The Rajput take the X-Factors of training and skill, however in this battle, the Scots will be defending their own turf, and will know the terrain, enabling them to set up ambushes and strike where the terrain puts the Rajput at a disadvantage. Not to mention the sheer ferocity for which a man defending his home will fight.


 * Overall Winner: The Highlanders win this match, with their more versatile weapons, as well as their "home field advantage".
