Lets see shall we

Long Range: Two fast realoding bows in the hands of expert bowmen easily beats one slow reloading crossbow. Edge Merry Men

Mid Range: The pike seems like to be more clumbersome but it also seems like the more deadly weapon as the quaterstaff won't do much against the knights armour. Edge Knights of the Round Table

Close range: The short sword is much faster to use and doesn't leave the opponent open after you swing it. While the mace will utterly decimate the merry men if they get hit by it this won't happen very often with the merry men constantly moving around. The dagger and combat knife won't have much use in this fight so I will just discount them. Edge Merry Men

Special weapon: Excalibur wins because it has magical qualities. Edge Knights of the Round Table

Armour: The knights armour is more advanced and because the merry men relie mostly on speed and stealth there armour is not desgined to be really protective or else it would be too heavy to quickly move around in and attack with. Edge Knight of the Round Table

X Factors: The merry men have an average of 83.8 and the knights have an average of 84. Edge Knight of the Round Table.

This battle should be won by the merry men but only by a hair. What wins this for them is english longbow which when used in the right hands can puncture through a heavily armoured knight and his horse. With the merry men's archery skills this puncture power could easily be achieved. The knights take close range combat but with the x factors being much to close to give a big advantage to the merry men (having the advantage of the home turf) have time to carefully plan a ambush and could possibly take out all of the knights before they even know what hit them.

Merry Men: 2590

Knight of the Round Table: 2510
