Elgb's  "Better than that TV POS that is Mountain Men"  EDGES!!!

Rifle: The only real advantage the Mas-36 has is its more powerful round. The M1 Garand outclasses it in every other category. It's semi-automatic and unlike the Mas which is reloaded by inserting the rounds one by one, the M1 Garand can be reload through en-bloc clips. EDGE: MD

SMG: The Thomspon does have the larger and more damaging round but since both warriors aren't wearing any armor I don't think it would make much difference. The Longue may be smaller but its the slender round and while not as damaging as the .45 ACP, will still kill the moment it hits home. Both their rate of fire on the other hand were extremenly close. The Mas-38 has the edge in magazine count and twice that range and in machine guns, those always matter first before the cartridge. The Mas-38 is also the more accurate because it has the steadier recoil and doesn't suffer the same as the Thomspon's barrel rising. EDGE: CA

LMG: While normally in machine guns I tend to give it to the one with the bigger magazine, the BAR simply outclasses the FM 24/29. The French weren't really good at producing the best machine guns, and like the Chauchat of WWI, the Fm also suffers from reliability and jamming. This is why the French tend to swap it for the Bren and Bar in many of their campaigns. The BAR is easier to carry and can be fired from the shoulder. It also has a bottom magazine, so you can perfectly line up your sights better. EDGE: MD

Sniper: The Lebel easily takes the edge. While both fire very powerful rounds, the only disadvantage the Lebel has is its obsolete straight bolt mechanism, which will be more difficult and awkward to use that the Springfield's bolt. The Lebel can spit out more rounds and has the longer range. EDGE: CA

Pistol: I'm gonna give this one an even. The M1911 has the more powerful round while the Modele 1935 has more rounds in its mag. EDGE: Even

Grenades: Both perform almost the same. The F1 maybe lighter but it won't do much difference. EDGE: Even

Vehicles: I gotta go with the Weasel. Its less bulkier and can carry more soldiers. The Lorraine is slower and its obsolete WWI-style tracks aren't as durable and smooth as the Weasel's. EDGE: MD

<p style="margin:12pt0in;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">X-Factors: The Chauser Alpins seems to take most major x-factors here such as training, experience and terrain familiarity. Can't argue with that. EDGE: CA

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm almost tempted to give this match to the Chauser Alpins. I mean, they did take the x-factors, but most of the weapon edges were won by the  10th Mountain Division . The Alpins just can't compee with the better battle rifle and machine guns that the MD are carrying. And while they do have the terrain familiarity advantage, it won't do much since the MD's Weasel can take the fight to them in a faster and more manueverable way. Sorry France, nothing more to say...
