Pygmy Hippo's "Where's Me War Elephants?!" Edges

Mid Range:The Winged Spear might be longer and the Hasta might be lighter but metallurgically, the one that appears to be steel is the latter which I'm fairly sure is inaccurate for a Punic War period so I won't count it. Anyways the Spear is designed to not get stuck in the enemy after you use it while the Hasta still has that problem. Edge:Anglo-Saxon

Short Range:The Falcata is lighter but the Migration Period Sword is longer and made of similar materials. Both can do much of the same thing like stabbing and devastating hacking blows which makes it fairly even as it comes down to who hits first. Edge:Tie

Special:The Seax has a superior overall length and longer blade while the Dagger has two sides to cut with. Once again there's not many differences in use but design-wise both will kill effectively but the Seax will hit first. Edge:Anglo-Saxon

X-Factors:It's clear that Armor favors the Anglo-Saxons and Experience favors the Carthaginians but both are very slight edges. The Anglo-Saxons only have better head-gear and the Carthaginians fought more diverse foes, both have equal skill killing Romans to me but superior experience is certainly helping more than a better helmet which isn't even the most important piece of protection. Edge:Carthaginian

Verdict:I have to go against my supporters for this one as there's not a lot of differences between these two warriors except for weapons which will ultimately win the day here. While the Carthaginians have slightly better experience, the Anglo-Saxons don't lag behind so much that their superior arsenal won't get kills before their enemies. Really there's not much more I can say here that I haven't already gone over so the Carthaginians should have had their mercenaries fight for them again.

Winner:Anglo-Saxons
