Elgb's "The Charge of the Last Brigade" EDGES!!!

Rifle: I'm with Spartan on this one with the Mannlicher. Never underestimate the straight pull bolt action since that thing offers almost twice the speed than a traiditonal bolt action of the Mosin Nagant. And not only that, but it also uses en bloc clips further increasign its speed. The only disadvantage that the Mannlicher has is that if used improperly, it can jam. Since both are going to be on horseback, having a straigh pull bolt action is a thumbs up than a Nagant when trying to chamer a round on a bumpy road. EDGE: Jozef

Pistols: Both are legendary firearms, and some of the first to be converted into full auto. But I have to give it to the Mauser here. Both are stripper fed but the Mauser has more rounds in its mag, a longer range and a more dangerous spitzer round. The ability to put and remove a shoulder stock is a plus too. EDGE: Roman

Swords: Easy edge to the szablia. That thing has a more curved blade for more power when on on horseback, and its got a handguard too so as to protect the hands when clashing or when blood starts dripping into the sword. The only advantage the cossack saber has is that its blade gives a smoother thrust, but besides that the szablia is superior. EDGE: Jozef

Army: Initially, I wanted to give it to Roman since his cavalry are made up of some of the greatest horseback warriors in hisotry. The dude has Mongolians, Tatars and even Cossacks to his entourage. But like what Spartan said, Jozef's warriors are probably more loyal and won't betray him. Hard to decide, so its even for me. If Roman can take the lead early, his army won't be leaving him. But if Jozef can prolong the fight, then Roman has a problem in his hands. EDGE: Even

Deadliest Warrior?

I have to give this one to Jozef Pilsidski hands down. He's a far better tactician and strategist than Roman, and he has the better rifle, swords and loyalty to boot. The Mannlicher is going to make some wonders massacring Roman's troops as they try to bolt up their Mosin nagants. Jozef is the more calculating foe here, being able to tango with the major powerhouses of his time. Roman, like what Tybalt said, is fucking mad. I would never ride with a dude who thinks he's a white Genghis Khan and instruct me to charge machine gun fire. His private campaigns against Russia were a disaster, while Jozef was able to turn his country's impending disasters into victories.
