Pygmy Hippo's "Poor vs. Poor" Edges

Melee:The bowie knife can be thrown but if you miss, you'be just lost your melee weapon. It's faster but the pickaxe is longer and causes much worse wounds. Edge:Blair Mountain Rebels

Short:Both are double-action revolvers with six rounds. The Colt M1917 has a slightly deadlier round but the Smith and Wesson. 44 Double Action has a faster reload. Edge:Johnson County Residents

Long:This is interesting. I think lever action is slightly superior to bolt-action and the Winchester Model 1876 does have more rounds and power but the Swiss Vetterli Rifle has more range. Edge:Johnson County Residents

Special:The Sharps Carbine has more range but the Double-Barrel Shotgun has more rounds. I think both can kill just as effectively so this is even. Edge:Tie

X-Factors:The Blair Mountain Rebels take training for having fought in the more modern war. They also take experience as two cavalry units are deadly but not as much as airplanes. I agree that the Johnson County Residents have better tactics. In logistics, the Blair Mountain Rebels take the edge due to a larger army. Edge:Black Mountain Rebels

Final Verdict:Both are willing to fight to the death but the Johnson County Residents are smarter and have the better weapons. Shotguns and pickaxes can't match revolvers, rifles, and carbines. The Blair Mountain Rebels are better trained but against a hail of gunfire and brilliant tactics, they don't stand a chance.

Winner:Johnson County Residents
