Send in the Cavalry Edges.

Swords- Kopas versus Kilij- The kilij is made for cavalry, as is the kopas. Sword on sword, I would give this to the Kilij, as I don't think that it would get stuck as easily as the Kopas. However, taking armor into account, I have to give this to the Kopas, as it can go through leather more easily than a kilij through bronze. Edge- Companions

Backup- Xiphos versus Mace- I got to give this to the mace- while the Xiphos can go through leather armor, the mace will cause enough blunt force trauma to knock one off of their horse, and break one, if not three, ribs, one of which will pierce the lungs/heart of the Macedonian. Edge- Sipahi

Spears- To be honest, I had some trouble picking between the two, however, I have to give this to the Lance- it's made out of a slightly better material than the Xyston, if shorter. Edge- Sipahi

Long Range- First up, both weapons are the same, so weapon on weapon, tie. However, the Sipahi make a greater use of the Javelin in fighting. Edge-Sipahi

Armor- Both the Harden Leather and Bronze Cuirass have advantages and disadvantages. Leather is lighter, but in a fight, I'd prefer some heavy metal. Edge- Companion

Deadliest Warrior- While the Companion Cavalry are some tough fighters, I think that they are too used to charging into a fray at the end of a battle, that they will have trouble reacting to an attack from behind, having been attacking a decoy. Edge- Sipahi
