User blog comment:JGM007/S1, E2: Edward the Black Prince VS William the Conqueror/@comment-379205-20130103041922

119's Edges:

Siege: While the Trebuchet has a longer range, it won't be likely to hit anything in a five-on-five battle. A mangonel, while not much batter, will at least be slightly more suited to attacking infantry targets with its flatter trajectory. Edge: William the Conqueror

Mid-Range: The Black Prince's longbow has a longer range and a faster rate of fire, not the mention the English longbowmen would be expert archers. Finally, the bodkin arrows used by the English longbowmen would go right through the rings of William's chain mail. Edge: Black Prince

Swords: The longsword takes this for its greater length and cutting ability. Edge: Black Prince

Armor: The plate armor had superior protection, Edge: Black Prince

Tactics: The Black Prince's tactics cut down the French cavalry at Poitiers, and, with their ideal use of longbowmen, along with the weaker armor, William's less advanced Normans won't have a chance.

Overall Winner: The Black Prince takes this for his superior weapons, armor, and tactics.
