Undead RVD's "German Soldier vs Polish Warrior..... This looks familiar?" Edges:

Close Range: On horseback, the Szabla is a deadly tool. It has nice reach and swinging power. However, off horse, the Katzbalger will win. It is heavier and allows for nice sturdy stabs, which is great against heavy armor. At the end, though, the Szabla will be faster and its versatility on horseback will get it the win. Close Range 2: The Nadziak War Hammer is a nice weapon on horseback and breat against armor. HOWEVER, the Zweihander has the greater reach, power and shear killing potential. The War Hammer just can't compete. Mid Range: I am going for the Pike. The Pike has greater reach and has been proven to beat horseback fighters and is far tougher than the Kopia Lance, which breaks after one hit. The Pike wins do to reach, durability and the shear usefulness it has against cavalry. Long Range: While the Wheel lock bandolet would have nice range, I don't think it will be as accurate when on horseback. The Shacking from the horse and the need to use two hands will make it VERY hard to aim. The Arquebus isn't much different. However, the Landsknecht use it on foot and use a stand to keep it up. This will allow it to be aimed more accurately and that will be the big game changer. I have to go with the gun that can be aimed better. Overall: The Winged Hussar has their "wings" that create noise and cause panic. However, the Landsknecht are very well trained and experienced. They are not going to flinch. They WILL, however, use their pikes to take down each Hussar before they can reach them with their lances. The Landsknecht have proven them selves to be a deadly tool against cavalry. The Winged Hussars are no different. That's why I am going for the Landsknecht. They are much more battle harden and their tactics are just too effective for the horseback Hussars can beat.
