Interesting observation on the Kilij. Spartan stated that the Kilij has a reinforced point, enabling it to be used effectively as a stabbing weapon. If I had known that earlier, I may not have voted for the Espada ropera.

As for the crossbow: I have looked high and low online and on DF for info about Conquistador crossbows, what kinds they used, and have not found squat. Crossbows were kinda going out of style in Europe when they brought them to the new world, and since the Aztecs and other Indians lacked plate armor, they was not much of a need for such an armor penetrating weapon. this didn't stop them from using them (used the arquebus, after all), but they were not popular among the troops.

Since there is nothing to find about Conuistador crossbows, and since the term "crossbow" only is used on sites that discuss Conquistador weapons, I would just assume and conclude that, until further information is forthcoming, that the normal wooden variety (as opposed to the arbalest and steel crossbow, or arbalest/steel crossbow, if the latter two are the same thing), is being referred to.

Interesting points about the number of dogs. Will consider lessening their number for the next match (sill would number four with Leoncico, who deserves his own page on here, but four is more fair than seven)
